Badgers might look like cool, but don’t go trying to pet one—they’re basically the heavyweight champions of wildlife brawls. Known for their short tempers and fierce attitudes, badgers won’t back down from a fight, even against predators much bigger than they are–including you. If you ever cross paths with one, keep your distance. They definitely have powerful claws, sharp teeth and enough grit to defend their territory.
We found a video of a guy who looks like he was freeing a badger–and check out the claws on that thing!
