Badger

Badger

Badgers are short-legged omnivores in the weasel family, Mustelidae. The nine species of badger, in three subfamilies include the Melinae (badgers of Europe and Asia), Mellivorinae (the ratel or honey badger), and Taxideinae (the American badger). The Asiatic stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included in the Melinae and Mustelidae, but recent genetic evidence indicates these are actually members of the skunk family, placing them in the taxonomic family Mephitidae.
