A badger has been filmed burying an entire cow carcass for the first time.
While badgers are known to bury other items, including food stashes, nobody knew that they would, or even could, bury an animal carcass four times their size.
The amazing footage was captured by researchers in the Grassy Mountains of Utah.

Today boys and girls, we’re going to teach poodles to FLY!
Next to Hillary Clinton, of course.
It takes some analytical thinking to do something like this. I’d say this proves animals, particularly this badger, is smarter than humans give them credit for.
I’ve heard badgers are not to be messed with and their stash of food can really start stinking up the place if left above ground. A friend said one came at him on his country property last year and unloaded a 6 shooter into him before he stopped. The first shot might have killed it but the critter didn’t know it yet so it kept on coming at my buddy.
From Robert Ruark’s “The Honey Badger”
“And just what is a honey badger? A mean little animal which, when cornered, attacks straight for the balls!!”
Badger? We don need no steenkin badgers!
Pound for pound..
An ordinary cow would weigh about 1000 lbs; an ordinary badger about 30 lbs. That would be 33 to 1. They must be thinking linear measurement instead of weight.
I think the article mentioned this was a young cow; twas hard to tell from the picture; but the ratio looked far, far beyond 4:1 to me.
Ah ha!
So now we know what happens to all the bigfoot carcasses.
I have a pet badger.
ok...I lied.
Surely somebody has one?
I always wondered what happened to the old timers out west who died searching for gold and silver.
The badgers got em in the end.
[[Pound for pound the nastiest animal.]]
