2011 seems to be a Mustelidae year. After the Schleich wolverine and European bager, the Safari ltd american badger reached my jungle last week.  Very Happy

The American badger is a member of the Mustelidae, a diverse family of carnivorous mammals which also includes the weasel, ferret, and wolverine. It belongs to one of three sub-families of badgers, the other two being the Eurasian Badger and the Honey Badger.

The American Badger has most of the general characteristics common to badgers; stocky and low-slung with short, powerful legs, they are identifiable by their huge foreclaws (measuring up to 5 cm in length) and distinctive head markings. Measuring generally between 60 to 75 cm in length, males of the species are a little bit larger than females (with an average weight of roughly 7 kg  for females and up to almost 9 kg for males).

American badgers are fossorial carnivore largely nocturnal but have been reported active during the day as well. They do not hibernate, but become less active in winter. A badger may spend much of the winter in cycles of torpor that last around 29 hours. They do emerge from their setts when the temperatures are above freezing.

The scale of the SAFARI Ltd American badger is 1:10 for a 8.5 cm lenght with tail and 7cm for the head and body only.

And now some pics  Very Happy

I think since the last years, WILD SAFARI models have a smaller size, still a bit bigger than SCHLEICH but ok for PAPO.

By the way, your Avatar is wonderful Harriet Very Happy

That's good - there are a lot of models in that series I really like. I don't mind if they're more to the scale of Papo, as long as they're not huge.

He's great! I don't know why, but I somehow associate badgers with grumpiness, and his snarling muzzle fits perfectly Very Happy

This is just perfect, one of the best figures I've ever seen, pretty accurate including the paint job!
If only the same sculptor could make a Fossa, Leopard seal, Fisher, Snow leopard, Clouded leopard, Dhole, Perentie and Wolverine Very Happy
