About Badgers :
Badgers are short-legged omnivores mostly in the family Mustelidae (which also includes the otters, wolverines, martens, minks, polecats, weasels, and ferrets), but also with two species called "badgers" in the related family Mephitidae (which also includes the skunks). Badgers are a polyphyletic grouping, and are not a natural taxonomic grouping: badgers are united by their squat bodies, adapted for fossorial activity. All belong to the caniform suborder of carnivoran mammals.
The fifteen species of mustelid badgers are grouped in four subfamilies: Melinae (four species, including the European badger), Helictidinae (five species of ferret-badger), Mellivorinae (the honey badger or ratel), and Taxideinae (the American badger); the respective genera are Arctonyx, Meles, Melogale, Mellivora and Taxidea. Badgers include the most basal mustelids; the American badger is the most basal of all, followed successively by the ratel and the Melinae; the estimated split dates are about 17.8, 15.5 and 14.8 million years ago, respectively.[1] The two species of Asiatic stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included within Melinae (and thus Mustelidae), but more recent genetic evidence indicates these are actually members of the skunk family (Mephitidae).[2]
Badger mandibular condyles connect to long cavities in their skulls, which gives resistance to jaw dislocation and increases their bite grip strength.[3] This in turn limits jaw movement to hinging open and shut, or sliding from side to side, but it does not hamper the twisting movement possible for the jaws of most mammals.
Badgers have rather short, wide bodies, with short legs for digging. They have elongated, weasel-like heads with small ears. Their tails vary in length depending on species; the stink badger has a very short tail, while the ferret-badger's tail can be 46-51 cm (18-20 in) long, depending on age. They have black faces with distinctive white markings, grey bodies with a light-coloured stripe from head to tail, and dark legs with light-coloured underbellies. They grow to around 90 cm (35 in) in length including tail.
The European badger is one of the largest; the American badger, the hog badger, and the honey badger are generally a little smaller and lighter. Stink badgers are smaller still, and ferret-badgers smallest of all. They weigh around 9-11 kg (20-24 lb), while some Eurasian badgers weigh around 18 kg (40 lb)

Last night I heard a terrible noise outside in the garden, it was really horrible but clearly from an animal. However, after watching a badger around our house a few times, I came across this video. Thanks for that, because now I can attribute this acoustic horror to this cute animal.
Holy shit I heard this sound coming from right outside in the middle of the night and me and another random local cat were looking at each other like wtf
How can something so cute make such a horrifying sound?
Cute? Are u sure about that
@@trains_are._valid6756 uh… yeah? You ever seen a badger?
It's like the opposite of Steely Dan
@@morganhackworth84 badgers are disgusting..
I spent last Night loking for child ! This dey for his home ! I realy tougt a child was skreaming for help !!
Now it finally makes sense to me were are the sounds taken from for most horror movies. Appearances can be deceiving.😊😊😊
i love badgers but never, EVER knew they can make such horrifying noises!
That’s what I heard in my garden tonight , i went to look and saw a flash of white either side of head on an animal , I thought someone being murdered 😂
We have one that makes a call I would describe as "snortering " a cross between snorting and chattering. The same sound a mother badger makes when given a digestive biscuit and calls her cubs to feed, but he seems to be controlling his "wives " as the kids aren't about yet.
This sounds like someone's screaming and this is like a creepy pasta sound😰
sounds like Donald duck is delivering hos own baby!
Is this one badger? I heard this the other night - quite alarming!
I was sitting on my deck at the lake at 2 am and I heard this shit and it scared the fuck out of me
I heard this about an hour ago thought someone was getting murdered ran down stairs in a panic lmao
OK this explains the mysterious sounds that people act like they don’t know what they are, lol. Anything for a click nowadays.
I like to show this to dachshunds.
does sound like the badger from far cry
Now it makes sense why Sticks is always screaming.
YUP that what it was and the cat is missing as well
That sounds like a fox more than anything
