New to the badger family is the Caucasian Badger (Meles canescens). Originally thought to be a subspecies of Meles meles, it is now classified as it's own species as of 2013. It is native to western Asia and some of the Mediterranean Islands.. Only small difference in the Caucasian and European badger are in size and color, Caucasian Badgers being slightly smaller and having a yellow\brown color to it

As of 2013, the Caucasian Badger became recognized as it's own species of badger (Meles canescens). The species broke away from Meles meles between 2.37 million years ago to 450,000 years ago.

SCIENCE!!!

Happy Badger Day!

Welcome to Auggie. Adding the Caucasian Badger to this years National Badger piece. That makes 9 different types of badgers. Also, adding the Stink Badger back to my crew, even though science now says Stink Badgers are "false" badgers, and closer related to skunks. There are two types of stink badgers, 6 types of ferret badgers, and 3 types of hog badgers.
