This was taken by a game camera in south Texas. People keep calling it a badger, but I'd have to disagree on the fact that it doesn't look like one.

Can anyone put a name to it?

 

That's not a badger.



THOSE are badgers (and one brave cat).

mutant badger?

 

maybe a fisher?

 

It looks like a badger for sure. Has the exact same build. It could of been a "pet" that was released. However, it doesnt have to have the markings to be a badger.

What part of south Texas?

not a badger...its a Coati...they are native to South Texas, and going into Central America.

 

It doesnt have a long tail thats why I said its a Badger.

But...it could of gotten ate off.

 

you cant tell as the pic hides that part.....definitley not a badger...99% sure it is a Coati.

 

Yeah never heard of a coati, but google it and look at the images and it really looks like one

 

that is a random fact you know there matt. lol.

 

I have just seen a lot of them...only a few in S Texas, but many further south. I was about 3 feet from one in a cave near Pandale Texas one time...was spulunking and this guy was sitting on a shelf in this cave as I lifted into it...got eye level with him at 3 ft...they are not aggressive. Badgers on the other hand are mean ******..or can be. Was walking to my blind while hunting in S Texas seeing all these holes in the ground..all the sudden i here a wicked little growl and then sounded like something coming at me...ran my *** to my blind jumped up on the ladder and turned my flashlight down to the ground to see this pissed off mama badger ready to rip me a new one....cool animals though.

 

It is a Coati here is another pic of one.......

"jackal! A jackal!! Is it a jackal? It's a jackal! A jackal!"

 

**** them badgers. mean little sum-bitches.

 

Gotta love a good Family Guy reference.

 

The only thing that picture is missing are mushrooms and a snake.

 

Badgers? Badgers? We dont need no stinkin' BADGERS!

 

It's a chupokabra. Haven't you seen one before?
