Guarantee you would not be that close to a live one!
Pound for pound those critters are mean.
By the way what the heck is that in the upper right corner?
Hope this don't start some save the badger patrol...

Looks like a Raccoon without a tail.

Someone should ask Billy Sandifer - if anyone knows what it is he will.

It's a badger. There are uncommon but do exist on Padre Island. Bummer that he bit the dust. Check out the huge front claws on that guy and you'll see it's not a raccoon without a tail

I have seen a lot of badger holes dug behind the dunes and was told they were badger holes particularly around the dune field around the 41 but that is the first I have seen of one. Too bad he was room temperature Embarassed

Wouldn't want him snooping around a campsite in the middle of the night.
