the word badger originally refered to the european badger.it possibly came from the french word blaireau which ment corn-hoarder or becheur which is digger. the oxford dictionary said that its most likely derivation is badge +ard which is referring to the white mark borne like a badge on its forehead.


There are eight different types of badgers in the world and three sub families.

You're going to need a lot more info. You got their classification down, now you need is their history, what they eat, and about them. What do they do? How do they effect the ecosystem?
