Ha ha! I'll be you fuckers thought I was done with this thread! Well I don't care if you've lost interest! I'm going to finish it, you hear me?! I'm not even done with the badgers yet, let alone the otters! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Seriously, I promise you guys that the next time I do a family this large, I will break it up into multiple threads.
Like ferrets? Like badgers? Well then you'll like the ferret badgers! Although they are classified as badgers and not ferrets, they look like combinations of the two.
Chinese Ferret Badger (
Melogale moschata)
Unlike other badgers, the ferret badgers do not dig their own holes, but use preexisting ones. The Chinese ferret badger has been observed sleeping in trees.
I could not find any pictures of the other two species the Burmese ferret badger (
Melogale personata), and Everett's ferret badger (
Melogale everetti). There was also next to no information about them.
The Hog Badger (
Arctonyx collaris)
The hog badger is found in China and southeast Asia. They are ominivorous. It is known to fight predators quite fiercely when threatened, and when a spotlight is beamed on it at night, it will often dig itself out of sight.
