    That's 110% a badger. You can see the facial markings, and badgers live in Texas. That's definitely an American badger.

      When I first moved to south TX about twenty years ago I saw a badger just sitting upright along a busy road taking in the scenery. I was so excited; I had never, ever seen an actual badger in the wild. A few weeks later and about fifty miles away from the first, I saw another. Just sitting upright by the roadside taking in the scenery.
      I have not seen any since. Same for jaguarundis. We would see them fairly regularly out on the ranch but none for at least fifteen years now.

      @@jaguarsky55 I'm from Scotland originally, where European badgers are a very common sight (pestilential for farmers but i do enjoy seeing them) but I've lived in/ spent time in North Carolina, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, and I've seen American badgers in the western states, that's definitely what this picture is. When you've grown up seeing European badgers in the garden, they're ready to recognize. I belive the American flavor is bigger, meaner, and has slightly different facial markings, but that's absolutely with no doubt a badger.

      It's also possible that he wasn't familiar with badgers being present in the Rio Grande, believe it or not people usually associate badgers as being more northern species than being near the equator.

    Dumb question, I’m 41, back in my early teens.
    My parents had a lake house on Lake Limestone near Jewett, Texas.
    My dad was taking me to Limestone Marina to do some Crappie, and Bass fishing, and we happen to see a cross between a armadillo, rabbit, mixed with something else (very weird), and yes we were 100% sober.
    Of course this was in the mid 90’s, before cellphone cameras, and videos were a option.
    I like to think we are somewhat knowledgeable, we’ve owned a 2,000 acre ranch near the Trinity river bottoms in southeast Texas where big foots are claimed to be, which our land would make perfect place to hide out at, and after 10 years of zero evidence, and about 50 game cams, I think these guys claiming this are just staging crap to get views.
    I almost forgot that evening my dad, and I saw that cross bread Armadilla/rabbit, we had to go into Waco for some supplies, and heading back around 1 PM.
    We happen to see a jet black panther in broad daylight, which I thought was the most bizarre sighting I had ever seen in my entire early adult hood.
    Which that has nothing to do with what my original question was, but I thought it was pretty cool, so I thought I’d share it. that the show.
    What are the chances/odds/percentages something like a Armadilla, and a rabbit producing what I had saw that day? That was my damn question by the way anyways thanks. Again ratio

    Could be a Bush dog, but probably a badger.

    It's in fact an American Badger, take a closer look at the head, there's a dark stripe running down the side of its head with white to the left and right of it.
    The tail is large and thick and the feet are stubby which they use to dig.
    When I first saw the photo I instantly knew it was an American Badger.
