This interesting critter is a Badger and he's a resident of the Living Desert Wildlife and Botanical Park in Palm Desert, CA.
A brief history of the badger. (You can click on the photo to enlarge the image.)
He had a beautiful fur coat.
You can see his long claws in this photo. Even though he had a docile appearance, I didn't try to pet him!

I have never seen a badger walking around only in a zoo. They look cute !
I've always understood badgers to be quite ferocious. I don't think I would have petted him.

i find them to be both intriquing and lovely Sandy
I am an U of Wisconsin alumni- mascot the Badgers. WI is one of the few states home to this fascinating creatures. Loved seeing your photos.

Very clever post! was wondering if you were going to do one this weekend...... I again failed to come up with one.. i'm way too busy on facebook as it is, keeping up with my lexuolous and taking care of my hatchlings.....
What a fascinating post. I love learning new things and you managed to bring new information for me to light here. The photos are all wonderful as is the sign ;--)
Thanks for the birthday wishes at Small Reflections. I shared Snowy Egrets there on Saturday and baby birds at Happily Retired Gal today.
