 | Franklin Hessler | Coyote Badger | Coyote Creek Trail | We were hiking back from campsite 2C1 on Coyote Creek and spotted a badger digging in the middle of the trail. The den is located around a mile from the intersection with the Hellroaring Creek Trail. It would dig around and then watch us then dig some more. We watched it for quite a while then went on our way. | 2018-05-27 | 2018-05-28 |

| Joe Ehle | on trail | Beaver Ponds trail/Mammoth | Traveling trail clockwise ran into the Badger shortly after leaving the Beaver ponds. We were still in the wooded area when we rounded a corner, there he was. He didn't seem to be bothered by us. He rambled up the hillside looking in holes for food. I have a photo but have been unable to upload to the site. | 2016-08-11 | 2016-08-14 |
| jerry miller | viewing wolf den, kit badger came within 10'of our viewing party | Slough Creek 1/4 mile off road | observed 1 juvenile 15'' to 20" moving through the brush 10' from us, it seemed the Badger didn't notice us as we stood still, a little in awe as none of us have ever viewed one in the wild. then about 45 minutes later while leaving we noticed a larger badger hunting prairie dogs about 20 yards from us on the side of a small hill.It was successful in it's hunt as it snatched one of the critters and vanished into a burrow. | 2016-06-29 | 2016-10-01 |

| Geoff Krone | Adult with two nearly grown kits | Along Hellroaring Creek Trail, near Hellroaring Creek | Three badgers emerged from their den, which was very close to a game trail (also often used by humans) near small pond close to the point at which the Hellroaring Creek Trail arrives at the Creek. They meandered around a bit and then headed up the trail - appeared as though Mom was taking the kids out for a hunting lesson. Have lots of photos (not very good ones, they were usually in the grass or pointed away from us) but tried to upload them without success. | 2016-06-20 | 2016-10-13 |

 | Connie Jeffcoat | Curious Badger | Slough Creek Campgrouind Road | A crowd of about a dozen people were observing the badger scurry from one hole to another I left the crowd, moving farther away, but at an angle. The badger apparently did not like this, watching me closely. She did not seem agitated, but curious. She watched me intently and gradually started approaching. | 2016-06-06 | 2016-06-16 |

 | Dave Egan | Within 100' of road | Lamar Valley | The badger was just snooping around, nose to the ground, when it spotted me. It then tried to hide in a burrow hole, but immediately popped its head up -- I stayed at a distance of approximately 70-100 feet. It came out of its hiding place within a minute and lay flat on its belly, facing me, gaze fixed on me, and remained stationery. I backed away and removed myself from its line of sight. It then ambled approximately 50 feet away and when I went back to my original position, the badger again froze, this time in a standing position, facing me, and did not take its sight off me. It did not move again until I once again retreated, this time for good. | 2016-04-28 | 2016-05-02 |
 | Adam Brubaker | Two badgers fighting. | West end of Lamar Valley | Two badgers were witnessed battling for approximately 4 minutes. During this time they covered about 40-30 feet.

The Coyote seemed to be looking past us so for a while we thought the badger was behind us on the hill. The Coyote kept staring in that direction so we moved down the boardwalk a ways to make sure the coyote wasn't watching us. We spotted something under the boardwalk near where we were stand, it was the badger.We mover farther down the boardwalk to give the badger a lot more room.

 | Kevin Taylor | Badger mousing near Slough Creek TH | East side of road to Slough Creek Trailhead just south of the | Single adult badger seen, unknown gender. Badger was hunting amongst the sage brush. We saw a successful kill and the badger returned to the sett with the mouse or vole in its mouth (unfortunately no photos of the kill or prey, too fascinated watching to take photos). The badger went out several times hunting for more prey while we were watching. | 2015-06-05 | 2015-07-25 |

| Kevin Taylor | Badger kit | East side of entrance road to Roosevelt Lodge | The kit was seen within a large clump of sage brush just on the east side of the entrance road to Roosevelt Lodge (opposite the entrance to the restrooms). The kit would stand on its hind feet most of the time but would occasionally duck down into the entrance of the den if we moved around much in our attempts to get better photos. Unfortunately, the photos we have don't show very well the light tan and white stripes on the head and face that this kit had. Later we heard on the scanner that an adult badger had been run over by a tourist in the gas station parking lot to the west of where the kit was observed. We hoped it wasn't one of this kit's parents but suspected it was (the radio call was from a ranger asking where to dispose of the carcass of the dead badger). | 2015-05-30 | 2015-07-25 |

 | Daniel Braff | badgers playing and digging near Specimen Ridge Trail | Approx 250 feet on the west side of Specimen Ridge Trail approx 1 miles from trailhead | I watched 3 badgers just off of Specimen Ridge Trail for over an hour. They were playing and digging, and did not seem disturbed by my presence. In fact, at one point the mother laid on her side at the entrance of the den and slept while the kits ran around the grass around me. The kits were quite large so I assume they are last years kits. One kit was very curious about my camera. Eventually the mother and kits went back into the den. They did not appear to be hunting. For a significant portion of the time only one kit (the curious one) was outside of the den while the mother and other kit were inside the den. A bald eagle began circling the den while the lone kit was outside, and eventually the kit went back into the den to join the other two. Please see photos for colors and other details. | 2015-05-25 | 2015-07-30 |

| Heidi Anderson | Three Badgers | West End of Specimen Ridge Trail Head about 1/4 mile from road (South on trail of wooden TH). | We watched a badger running with a gopher in it's mouth. It ran to a hole on the other side (West side) of trail. It was about 30 meters from the trail. We watched it for a little while. Two other badgers came out and we thought maybe they were last years pups. They definitely were too big to be this years pups. They were lighter in color and appeared to be playing with the adult. Four other people besides ourselves watched the interactions. | 2015-05-25 | 2015-05-25 |

 | Daniel Kramer | It was really cool! | Lamar River Trail (half mile from trail head) | I saw only one badger. He was taking a quick look at us. I got a picture just in time before it ran away. It was about 10-15 feet away. He had brown stripes and a blondish looking fur.

 | Max Waugh | Badger at sett with two kits | Slough Creek Road | This badger dug a sett right next to the road that leads to the Slough Creek campground. The sett was located about 200 yards beyond the open metal gate at the bottom of the first hill as you drive down the road (from the main road), on the east side of the road. Based on reports, the adults seemed to be most active around the den earlier in the morning (7-7:30am), sometimes bringing back food following short hunting excursions. She would then venture out for longer periods, sometimes four or five hours before finally returning at midday or early afternoon. When the adult first returned on this day, she was very wet, leading me to wonder if she swam the creek (I've heard of this happening at Slough Creek before). | 2014-06-11 | 2014-06-20 |

 | Veronica Wald | Badger excavating a ground squirrel hole | East side of Slough Creek Road | This badger was vigorously excavating a ground squirrel hole apparently leading to a burrow that had pups in it as the pups were ejected (seen to pop out) of a very small hole in the road itself. The parent must have been well aware of the badger and attempted to protect the pups. Very interesting to watch,.
Also videographed by Bob Landis. | 2013-06-11 | 2014-04-29 |
 | Veronica Wald | Ground squirrel pup ejected from den in response to badger excavating nearby | Slough Creek Road, YNP | The badger was vigorously excavating a hole in the grass very close to the side of Slough Creek Road when suddenly 3 mouse-sized, very young (eyes still closed) ground squirrel pups were ejected from a tiny hole in the road perhaps 6 or 8 feet from the badger. We never saw the parent squirrel, who remained in the hole, perhaps to defend the burrow from the impending arrival of the badger via the larger hole at the side of the road. This was in June 11, 2013, however, Bob Landis was standing there taking video so it might be worth contacting him to see if he can share it. My photos of the badger are uninformative. | 2013-06-11 | 2014-04-29 |

 | Paul Stillmank | Badger mom and 3 kits | Yellowstone National Park | We had spotted this "hole" as we drove back to Mammoth the prior day. It had been a rainy couple of days so we decided against a hike that day (Thursday, June 3, 2010) and instead decided to go get moving early and just set up a tri-pod and point it at the mound/hole and see what came out of it, if anything. We arrived around 6:15 a.m. local time and go everything setup. It was not raining, but the ground was wet, so we just sat on our rain-coats and waited.
From 6:40 a.m. until about 8:10 a.m local time, we got the treat of the trip. First a badger sow popped its head up (exciting enough) and then, one by one, her kits appeared. She managed them very diligently, keeping them close and not allowing any one to straggle away. One of the kits was more active and she had to nip it on the cheek and toss it back down the burrow a couple of times. We took countless photos have uploaded for exceptional shots. One or more of the kits was digging in the dirt as you can see in one photo. Just after 8 a.m., the sow lead all of the kits down into the burrow and then re-emerged and left (to go hunting?) traveling North East. We waited for hours for her to return, hoping to see what she might bring back. We had read that Badgers eat small grubs, worms, other small burrowing mammals and even porcupines.
So we waited, but to no avail. We then wondered if she had another entrance to here burrow that we could not see, so we exited the scene to grab lunch and review our photos. | 2010-06-03 | 2015-03-22 |

 | Thaddeus Jones | Badger at possible den location | GPS coordinates on photo | I noticed this Badger at the hole visible in the photo. He was both down into the hole and moving in the vicinity. I believe this area is near where Badgers are often seen. He noticed me so I moved off. Just 1 Badger noted. | 2005-05-25 | 2015-04-12 |
