A Previously Unknown Badger Behavior
An American Badger here in Utah buried an entire cow carcass and they have it on “video” – (really time lapse photography, speeded up). It’s only a calf but it’s still hugely impressive and the behavior was previously unknown.
Western Meadowlark On A Buffalo Chip

Wildlife Rehabilitators – Saviors Of Injured Birds And Other Wildlife
