Badger Cubs!
I made a quick trip to Yellowstone National Park in early June 2024 when I heard about a Red Fox den with kits that could be photographed discretely without drawing a crowd (see previous post). It was a memorable experience made even better when I discovered an American Badger den, also with youngsters, in the area.
Two cubs made frequent short forays away from the den, foraging for food, while a third seemed content staying closer to home. Sadly, the cubs’ mother had been injured by a car a few days earlier and her status was unknown.
The cubs seemed healthy and potentially self-reliant, so hopefully the entire family survived and is doing well.
