    Critters of Wisconsin - Alex Troutman

    Mammals

    American Badger

    Taxidea taxus

    Did you know?

    Badgers are solitary animals, but they will sometimes hunt with coyotes in a team. A coyote will chase prey into the badger’s den, and the badger will chase or dig out the prey that coyotes like. The badger’s den has one entrance with a pile of dirt next to it. When a badger is threatened, it will back into its burrow and show its teeth.

    The American badger is a short, bulky mammal with grayish to dirty-red fur. Badgers have a distinctive face with a series of cream-and-white stripes offset by a black background.

    American Beaver

    Castor canadensis

    Did you know?

    Beavers are rodents! Yes, these flat-tailed mammals are rodents, like rats and squirrels. In fact, they are the largest native rodents in North America. Just like other rodents, beavers have large incisors, which they use to chew through trees to build dams and dens. Beavers are the original wetland engineers. By damming rivers and streams, beavers create ponds and wetlands.
