Not much of a cartoon watcher, are you?

Yeah, that seems to be the problem. Surprised me and a couple of farm adviser types I talked to.

Generally speaking, visiting Foxes and Badgers don't pay any attention to my camera but this one let his curiosity get the better of him.

I think it's one of two cubs, now well grown, that have been visiting for the last couple of months.

They're always welcome and I put out some dog food for them but they also seem to have developed a liking for the peanuts that I leave for the Badgers.

In our local paper there will be an article once in awhile about someone thought they found a puppy. It grows into a fox and is the family dog. Then some dik calls Wildlife and they come to get it for euthanasia. People here have skunks, racoons, flying squirrels, snakes and gawd knows what else, but owning a deer, bear or fox will get you in trouble. It is shameful to make the family cry.

I wonder if our raccoons and English badgers fill the same eco-slot.
There are badgers 50 miles or so south of me, but I don't think they are quite as omni as yours.
Raccoons eat everything.

I'd assume Badgers are not as graceful as our raccoons for dumpster diving etc?

Just looking at the Woodland Trust link in post #1695 it says that badgers will raid bins in times of food shortage.

I imagine they do this by pulling a bin over as they do not seem to be particularly agile or athletic.

They are opportunist feeders to an extent and will have what is seasonally available, but I think their opportunism falls into the 'when all else fails' category, earthworms being their first port of call.

I was going to complain about the pic until I realized that I have been surrounded by (western) coyotes for about fifty years and never taken a better one.
I hear them close by every night, but have seen only a dozen or so.
I will try my trail cam again tonight.

"Strange little dude"? I don't know about you but around here almost all of the squirrels come with front and back legs.

Hey Fargon, careful dangling your footsies off that boat.
This woman was standing in chest deep water when a Muskie grabbed her and pulled her under like a gator.
