Basking like a badger? Badgers have been observed hunting and sun basking on the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Elk Refuge in Wyoming. Sounds like the perfect mix for a summer afternoon.  

While this furry striped tank is not the largest of the North American weasel family—wolverines, river otters and sea otters are bigger—the badger nonetheless seems much larger than its true size.  

As these barrels with legs trot towards you, the stocky badger gives off the appearance and attitude that nothing can get in its way. In truth, badgers only measure between 23 to 30 inches and weigh about 15.5 pounds for females and around 20 pounds for males. They’re not much bigger than a beagle!

Just south of Phoenix, a captivating desert landscape protects these majestic cacti, which can take 100 years to start growing arms. If you’re in the area, make a day trip and be sure to stay after the sun goes down — the night sky viewing is some of the best in the United States.

I’m just a boy, standing in front of the world, asking you to love him…and to not feed me. We have a lot of new members to #TeamPublicLands this summer and we are so glad you’re out there enjoying nature. Just remember, even if the critters look cute, never give them food. The wildlife at public land sites don’t need your powdered donuts or “real cheese” flavored crackers, in fact, our human food will give these critters health problems and lead to poor well-being. Giving the wildlife food will also lead to negative encounters like bites and attacks. If you don’t believe us, just listen to the wildlife. “Keep your donuts, We’ve got nature’s nuts.” - Squirrely McCheeks Photo of squirrel eating nature’s nuts, by Kristin Burrill.
