American Badger

American Badger

Badgers are short-legged omnivores in the family Mustelidae. Badgers have rather short, wide bodies, with short legs for digging. They have elongated, weasel-like heads with small ears. Their tails vary in length depending on the species. They have black faces with distinctive white markings, grey bodies with a light-coloured stripe from head to tail, and dark legs with light-coloured underbellies. They grow to around 90 cm (35 in) in length, including tail. The European badger is one of the largest; the American badger, the hog badger, and the honey badger are generally a little smaller and lighter. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)

    North American Big Horn Sheep

    The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)[ is a species of sheep native to North America. It is named for its large horns. A pair of horns might weigh up to 14 kg (30 lb); the sheep typically weigh up to 143 kg (315 lb). Recent genetic testing indicates three distinct subspecies of Ovis canadensis, one of which is endangered: O. c. sierrae. The population of Big Horn Sheep in North America peaked in the millions and the bighorn sheep entered into the mythology of Native Americans. By 1900, the population had crashed to several thousand due to diseases introduced through European livestock and overhunting. Today, the species is protected and rebounding in population (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)
