The American badger similar in appearance to the European badger, although not closely related, is found in the western, central, and eastern United States, northern Mexico, and south-central Canada to certain areas of southwestern British Columbia.

The American badger’s habitat is typified by open grasslands with available prey (such as mice, squirrels, and groundhogs). The species prefers areas such as prairie regions with sandy loam soils where it can dig more easily for its prey. Like all badgers, this species is fierce and built for defense, with thick, loose fur and skin and muscular necks that makes them harder to catch. When threatened, American badgers vocalize by hissing and growling, and will also emit a musky odor—though it’s not quite as off-putting as that of their cousin, the skunk.”
