About Badgers
Badgers are powerful, short-legged carnivores belonging to the weasel family (Mustelidae). These remarkable animals are known for their incredible digging abilities, fearless nature, and distinctive appearance. Badgers possess powerful forelimbs with long, strong claws designed for excavating burrows and pursuing prey underground. Their low-slung, muscular build and thick skin provide protection during confrontations with larger predators. There are several species of badgers found around the world:
American Badger Taxidermy Mounts (Taxidea taxus)
The American Badger is a solitary carnivore native to North America. American Badgers have a distinctive flat, broad head with small ears, a pointed snout, and characteristic facial markings. Their coat is grizzled gray-brown on top with a distinctive white stripe running from the nose over the head and down the back. If you’re looking for North American predator taxidermy, the American Badger is an excellent addition to your collection! American Badgers are perfectly adapted for a life of digging, strong shoulders and forelimbs, and powerful claws.
Adult American Badgers typically weigh 8-25 pounds, with males being larger than females. They measure 20-35 inches in body length with an additional 4-6 inch tail.
European Badger Taxidermy Mounts (Meles meles)
The European Badger, also known as the Eurasian Badger, is the largest badger species and is found across Europe and parts of Asia. European Badgers are more social than their American cousins, living in family groups called clans in elaborate underground sett systems. Just like the North American badger, the European Badger is an exceptional digger with strong claws.
Adult European Badgers typically weigh 15-40 pounds, significantly larger and heavier than their American cousins. They measure 22-35 inches in body length with an additional 6-8 inch tail. European Badgers have a more elongated head compared to American Badgers, with distinctive black and white facial striping that creates a striking pattern.
Honey Badger Taxidermy Mounts (Mellivora capensis)
The Honey Badger, also known as the Ratel, is perhaps the most famous badger species due to its legendary fearlessness and tenacity. Found across Africa and parts of Asia, Honey Badgers are known for their ability to take on much larger predators and their remarkable resistance to venomous snake bites. They are omnivores, and get their name from their primary diet of honey and bee larvae.
Adult Honey Badgers typically weigh 15-35 pounds and measure 24-30 inches in body length with an additional 6-10 inch tail. Honey Badgers have a distinctive two-toned coloration with a light gray or white back and sides contrasting sharply with black underparts, legs, and face.
