Badger scenting the air

Found this guy yesterday while looking for birds nests. He was trying to scent me. When he did he disappeared, but not before I got a few shots of him. I like the teeth.

Wow! Great shot! I love the detail, how close were you?

Nice shot. I had never noticed how much like a dog they look. I bet they are related.

Otters? Who knew.

Thanks. This is about a 40% crop. About 15 yards away. Don't think they can see to well. He kept going in the hole then back out to smell the air. I wished he would have came a little farther out and a little more upright. But glad I got the ones I did.

Conrats on the shot.

My wife almost stepped on one when I was setting up for pics of the Tetons. Lucky for her it decided to retreat instead of bite. I was pissed that I didn't have my telephoto on. I was trying to give chase and change lenses at the same time .

You are lucky you did not catch it. When cornered they will charge. The teeth are very sharp.
