Francois (European Badger) and Nick (Honey Badger) at Francois' for some badger related delicacies. Happy Badger Day!!
Heard about this holiday last year and thought it would be great to bring my badger OCs together. Francois has invited Nick over for lunch. Egg salad sandwiches, gummy worms and honey buns. And of course, plenty of tea.
Happy Badger Day!

#Badgers belong to the family Mustelidae, sharing ancestry with #otters, #weasels, and #wolverines. European badgers diverged from other mustelids ~10–15 million years ago, evolving traits suited for fossorial life and social living. #NationalBadgerDay #Evolution #Systematics
#Badgers are robust #mammals with powerful limbs, long claws for digging, and coarse fur. Badgers are found worldwide, including the American #badger (𝑇𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎 𝑡𝑎𝑥𝑢𝑠) and #honeybadger (𝑀𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑜𝑟𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠), each adapted to different habitats. #NationalBadgerDay #Systematics
It’s National Badger Day! 𝑀𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑚𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠, the European #badger, is a nocturnal omnivore known for its powerful digging and complex social structure. #Badgers live in setts and play key roles in soil turnover and ecosystem health. #NationalBadgerDay #Wildlife #Mammalogy
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
#NationalBadgerDay #Brocktober #Brocktoberfest
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!

1/2 It’s #NationalBadgerDay. So far this year, we’ve admitted 60 badgers, including 22 cubs. Badgers are omnivores with earthworms being around 80% of their diet. They’ll also eat invertebrates, slugs, fruit & small mammals, They especially love digging up leatherjackets which become craneflies…
It's National Badger Day today, and what better way to celebrate than with this amazing trail camera footage! 🤩 Watch this trio of badgers having a proper play-fight.

A pencil drawing of an orc and a badger-person sitting together, eyes closed and smiling with mouths open, their being in song indicated by lined of energy curving up from between them with music notes floating throughout that space, up and off the page.
A prompt list declaring itself for the month of Orctober, crowned with an illustration of a feminine-presenting orc and a butterfly. Text beside them reads “# Orctober 2025 alternative prompt list,” with daily prompts in three columns below, and a queer and trans inclusive message over a banner of the Progress Pride Flag at the very bottom of the image.
#orctober day 6!! #song . And 🦡 Happy #nationalbadgerday 🦡 So, #tockthegnome #orc and #brogh ( #badgerfolk ) together, in unusual harmony…..

Four panel sketch page, plus two busts, of Bramble the badger. First panel shows her picking berries with a basket, and admiring butterflies fluttering around her. Next panel she's making a pie while singing a little tune. Third panel is Bramble inviting you to the table which has the freshly baked pie and a pot of tea on it. Last panel is Bramble sitting outside drinking tea and calmly enjoying the scenery. The two busts show Bramble happily holding her pie, and Bramble looking upset with you with her arms crossed.
Bramble has invited you to celebrate #NationalBadgerDay with tea and freshly baked pie 🍵🥧🦡
