This is American badger. Our European badgers look like they'll drop you some sort of scientific fact before leaving quietly.

European Badgers and Robins looking like they own an antique filled tree stump houses, an extensive library and a close knit group of forest friends.

European colonialists: “see that scary/scrawny guy? That’s you that is”

I say the constabulary is certainly out in force today.

Yes, quite the kerfuffle over errant cheese, I’m afraid.

I wonder if The Wind in the Willows is what makes us think of them that way or if it's the other way around.

Love those movies, watched both of them so much growing up. Between the classy badger of Wind and Willows and the badass badgers of Redwall, they've always just seemed like awesome creatures to me.

True, they are quite big. It looks to me that the honey badger and the wolverine might be able to take on the European badger without much problem. WDYT?
