As I sat on the porch at night, I came across a badger. They are carnivores and eat fossorial rodents, rats, mice, chipmunks and ground squirrels. Their young are born in burrows dug in dry soil. Predation on badger are golden eagle, coyotes, cougars and bobcats. Badgers are nocturnal animals. Reaching up to 60 to 75cm and exceed 11.5 kg. A badger is about the same size as a skunk. It is covered with a grizzled, silvery coat of course hair or fur, and also has a black and white pattern. These animals include a tail too. Badgers' young are referred to as baby badgers.
