World's Most Adorable Badger | The Dodo Comeback Kids 

Me neither! 😲

Billy is a cat/badger

I think that this quote from the episode applies well, "The more you learn about wildlife, the more you can appreciate..." They were referring to nature and the animal's natural habitat specifically, but I think that this could apply to the animal itself as well. The more we understand wild animals (or domestic, in fact all animals for that matter) the more we can appreciate them/their needs and empathize with them and their deep/complex emotions. Animals, especially wild animals are so subtle in the way the communicate, and the more we humans learn about them the better we can understand them. And, ideally, live in harmony, respecting their territories and lifestyles (ie stop encroaching on their habitats and threatening their existence, and provide them with more alternatives when we do). One day in the future maybe we'll find the perfect balance that allows for humans and nature to coexist and thrive equally.. Hopefully, if it's not too late.

😂😂😂😂😂 best description

I love it.

Loved this comment 😂

Now I'm going to go around for the rest of the day saying fuzzy land flounders and pancake weasels

So, a carpet

People need to realize that badgers are wild and they need to respect their space. They have their own lives and aren't domesticated.

English badgers will sometimes wonder up to your door if you leave bits of sausage or whatever outside in the back garden. cute little fuckers. just dont disturb em.

Not quite, she was literally tamed. This is a failed rehabilitation and should not be commended.

This woman clearly intended to keep Billie as a pet, and did.

I don't know. Swedish badgers seem quite harmless. I've encountered many at night and never felt them to be aggressive at all.

I love your take on life. I believe there is some special purpose for dogs. They really are man's best friend. ❤

@@DCell1961 i think they’re everyone and every animals best friend too 😂

Socialized dogs. Many dogs can't be around even other dogs because they are especially aggressive and weren't socialized with other animals early on.

U need to look up capybaras!

So true!!! Dogs are God’s gift to this earth for sure. Pure love in fur form

You right

@@Ranger830 LMAO

Yes, and they were not experienced they failed Billie the badger. They interacted with her way too much. At our rescue we never let the wild animals imprint on us. We always rotate people and do not have the same person feed the animal every day. We also wear masks. We bottle-feed wild animals with species-correct sock puppets or stuffed animals. We don't hold them like lap dogs or tease them to play with our hands. They failed a second badger as well. Badgers are not hard to release to the wild if you do it correctly. This rescue center should be shut down. Ridiculous to say thank you to them when they purposely fail the badges due to being overly attached to them and forgetting what their job is. This is a problem with many private rescues they are not professionals. They are overly emotional animal lovers who should not be working at a rescue. You have to be a strong person to work at a rescue. She is weak and lets logic go out the window.

@@FarmerFpv Tbf, they said that where they are didn't have any other professional animal rescue sites and these guys just started taking in wild animals recently because no one else seemed to be in their community. Imo, shows that their local government was already failing their environment when a private rescue is all they have (and their local government has no excuse when other parts of Texas should have more professional wildlife rescue/rehab centers). I commend them for being the only ones to rescue them (even if their methods weren't the best) and to at least give their non-rehabilitative animals the best life they can have, but I think what should be done is if other wildlife professionals who are better trained at rehabilitation worked there and provided proper training - I doubt where they live even gave them access to proper training, to begin with. Punishing people doesn't teach people anything, whereas giving people the tools to be better educated will help them better (especially if they live somewhere with government/leaders who should care but don't).

Setting free? Kick me out of the house !

Daniel Brown imagine if this woman accidentally domesticates badgers and creates a whole new class of pet besides cats and dogs

A hundred years later we have the first domesticated badger

Right!!😆

Domesticated badgers would kick so much ass lol

A badger will bow up on you . They don't run. I know from experience.

BBC has a special on badgers and one in particular named Stoffel was afraid of nothing. On one of his many escapes he marched right into the lion enclosure and attempted to whip a lion's ass, they nearly killed him but fear of death does not exist in that animal.

Same here!

She is a chloak

The badgers are like " we love the place with snacks and belly rubs. We are never leaving "

And what happened to the other one it just dispeared ?¿? It's one thing to keep it but another to deprive her of a friend and not a dog she needs another badger and it's cruel to take her away from the lady to say she's too friendly but then build her some outdoors place when she's already humanized is just cruel

@@migjtyalfie4501 the other one wasn't a candidate for release as well. She stated at the end of the video that Billie can play with Polly & Gertie. I guess the spotlight here is Billie but I'd love to think that both of them are happily playing in their new enclosure now

@@nascha58 oh thank God !!¡¡! Thank you , yes that is so nice to think she's not alone they better build it well !!!;. Or they can escape !!! Nothing sadder then 2 escapees who are not ment for the wild !!!!!! I did not catch the other ones name so when she said that I assumed it was the dogs !!! Lol. Thank you again , stay safe - hashtag watching badger videos at 4 am - ha !!!!

lol right these two know whats what they have no intention of going to the wild lol

no the animal rescuers made sure that wasn't going to happen by treating them all like domestic pets. thats the difference between professional animal handlers and people doing it for their own benefit, you dont treat wild animals like pets if you expect them to be released. you dont treat dogs like pets if you expect them to work either.

@@kar_trix5k461 *peace was never an option*

My neighbor was walking a pet gray wolf at 2am, as me and my bestie were like:"yooo! Thats a wolf!". She went over and petted it as it began to leap an jump around in circles all happy. Wolves appear to have a hinged body when they run,as opposed to dogs. It was incredible to see one on our streets, because we never saw one outside of training or wilderness trips. I am in full agreeance with you that seeing someone walking a badger would definitely be a memorable moment for sure.

The bumbling badger of mediocrity

Coyotes and badgers hunt together in the wild. They get along.

Ian Babcock I heard somewhere they hunt together

Exactely.

Yasss, 🤥 I was thinking the same thing.

@Timmy Pruitt This lady was practically trying to domesticate the thing. She treats her rehab animals like pets and wonders why they can't be released smh.

@@PartialVeil you saw her interacting with one animal well after it had imprinted on her. that is not justification for your assumptions.

@@mercedesm6839 Uhm it shouldn't have imprinted on her in the first place. Professional wildlife rehab centers keep their interaction to a minimum for this very reason.

@@PartialVeil um she picked him up when she was a baby she had to give it extra attention and time. Can't just feed then isolate.

That is the best comparison i have ever heard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My husband said they remind him of big, furry woodticks. He needs to watch what he says, though, having moved to the Badger State.

they really do😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hairy Pancake 😂

Totally agree. 👍

Lol me too

So sweet and funny.

Badgering her, ironic 😂😂😂

Stop

sorry

Randy Palmer Yeah, but this badger would be offering him sweet tea and the porch swing if he agreed to scratch her back!

But its Jason Bourne, so he *WOULD* expect it

Better take badger´s big brother, the wolverine. Before Jason Bourne could close his surprised mouth again, his nutsack would be ripped off for good. The rest I really don´t want to imagine...

@idoj654123 It's funny. A wolverine would probably be the perfect guard for your house, because they are extremely territorial. And if you raise them, you will become part of the territory. Which means you are HIS and no one can touch you. On the second thought... that might be bad because you might wake up one day and see a scared post boy on a tree while the wolverine is hissing at him.

idoj654123 are you implying they didn’t rly rescue them and just wanted them as pets? Bc that’s kinda not cool :(

I swear I was thinking the same thing … to myself I said she keeps saying she is trying so hard to make sure it is released then shows her treating the animal like a baby in the next breath … umm yea like I do think it’s because they want to keep the animal . I think they do everything they can to make sure it’s totally dependent on them so they can’t release them back into the wild 😂

They’re particularly good finders

Shialaubeef i FIND that to be particularly true

The Hufflepuff badger is a different species, the European badger.

@Kiera McCarron I am

Very well said!

Ha ha, they have own different way though. to keep !!

Glad you made this comment. Changed my perspective a bit because my first thought was, if you wanted her in the wild, why rehab her which is in many cases just domestication. Especially when she was found that young? Why not try to put her with other badgers?

Yeah, she didn't try real hard at re-wilding.

This made me audibly laugh.

I mean even tiger sharks get jealous if you give to much attention to another shark

I though badgers were a made up animal for Harry Potter. I didn’t know they actually existed.They look strange lol.

They are like Chihuahuas,crazy or chill

Well it’s been domesticated and reared in captivity, British badgers in particular are usually shy and docile and will not attack unless cornered and provoked

Wild American badgers are really mean, the lady said it herself, they chase off grizzly bears, they’re not to be trifled with.

@@Krosstic it's a key difference. In the UK badgers basically have no natural predators so while they have the potential for extreme violence, it is not their go to response.

We should get it to the point where animals don't need to worry about us, hunting is one thing, but we're natures caretakers, they should be able to rely on us for care rather than fear us because of the bad actors.

And the British badgers aren't as aggressive either. I follow a family on Facebook in Britain that has a family of badgers that visits them to eat.

@@benbowland nice to know

Where is polly ?

Tamed, not domesticated, domestication takes many generations of selective breeding

Last badger I saw was one that chased me back to my vehicle.

Look up "service gator". There is a gator who is a licensed service animal. I believe almost any species can imprint on humans, given the people are loving and hopefully experienced at training. Bears, large cats, fish, spiders...... when a human is an animal's source of food, and social interaction is similar to a family unit(especially when animals are raised this way from youth), then I am always amazed at what animal can become tamed. When 2 animals that would normally be considered predator and prey come together with a commonallity, then they can build cross-species friendships. Just like people are drawn together by similar interest or life experience, so can animals build bonds. If an animal wants for nothing, then why does it need to become territorial or predatory? Thank you internet for allowing us to share adorable videos of these odd bonds.

@@d-rockpain4250 I agree 😊

The moment I saw that coyote I got really really excited. Coyotes and badgers hunting together is one of the coolest, most unexpected wildlife relationships I've ever learned about and I kind of hoped the two of them would pair up.
