The American Badger is a fossorial carnivore, preying predominantly on gophers ...
... and other small animals, such as squirrels, moles, rats, and some ground-walking hawks. Badgers will eat carrion from wild cats and mountain (or nittany) lions. They will also eat plant foods, such as maize (and blue), and nuts (sometimes from a buckeye tree), beans, and sunflower seeds. If backed into a corner, they will protect themselves against native humans, such as Spartans, Hoosiers, Illini, and even those that make boilers and those that husk corn.

I'm thinking that I'll need to add a comment regarding Badgers on Saturday, because this little nugget helped the UW Men's Basketball Team get through a sluggish game with a "W" on Wednesday night at Iowa.
