I almost stepped into a badger den. Never has an animal scared me more ever then this hissing badger. Standing on his back feet hissing as I stood frozen. It had long sharp teeth and nails. Finally I slowly backed away and very thankful it did not attack me.

Yep that's the Badgers for you, their next cousin is the honey badger known in the animal world as the meanest thing alive, it's not scared of anything It's so mean that it's immune to snake venom. Even killer bees don't like the honey badger they are one tough animal.

Badgers, wolverines, weasels, minxes, otters………..geese. ALL pretty gnarly if they get a chance.

[@grahammonk8013]

And these were just badgers, not even Honey Badgers!

Definitely a score of a sighting... I've spent uncountable hours of time in the backcountry and have never seen one...

none shall pass.

On Wisconsin!

Badgers aren't afraid of anything, except maybe a wolverine. There isn't an animal around that will mess with either of those, including a Grizzly. 😮😊

Drove down a highway in Wyoming badlands once in a van. Several of these flat looking animals came rapidly snarling out of the brush, trying to attack the van tires. Moving at highway speeds, they could not get us, but they tried. The fact that they tried and got close, has left me very afraid of those things as they seem crazy.

Dude it’s a badger. Grizzlies run from badgers. This was like science 101 in 5th grade. Badger in the wild is like Tyson in society. Leave it be or face consequences

[@alanhelton]

I was chased a good distance by a badger at Ft Hunter Ligget. What an experience.

[@JustAKidder]

Badgers are renowned for their fearless attitudes!

[@The_Comedian556]

Man: "Officer I was attacked by a pack of badgers!"

[@TH-1988]

Running into a family of badgers, worst than running into a bear. lol. 🤣
