The badger is a 2 foot long mammal found in grassy plains across several central US states, known for its white, black, brown, or gray fur and sharp claws used for digging and defense. It lives in burrows but also hunts in the burrows of other animals like prairie dogs and gophers, eating a diet of small rodents. Badgers have litters of 3 to 5 young in late winter and the babies grow to adult size of 2 feet long.
