American Badger

The Masked Menace As a gentle zephyr lazily licked the lonely Montana landscape, a ‘curious’ American Badger paused briefly while rambling through a Black-tailed prairie dog town. Fresh from digging at one of the rodents’ burrows and adorned with soil on nose and crown, the unsuccessful mustelid gave a stare at the camera. The masked menace then turned and trundled away. ~ Anecdote and American Badger capture, The Masked Menace © Jerry L. Ferrara
