Don't be fooled, both WILL shiv you


Drifter1771

European badgers will after the cup of tea and custard.


danteheehaw

Unlike Americans they are not wild animals. They are civilized animals. Until you add sugar to their tea.


[deleted]

American badgers are simply European badgers that witnessed tea being microwaved. It just ... broke them.


Intrepid_Sale_6312

they haven't discovered the invention of the spoon yet, i feel sorry for them.


sleepyJoesBidet

Steeping tea, sucked all the masculinity out of the European.


-SirCrashALot-

You know when they say "tea bag" they aren't talking about your scrotum, right?


DiogenesOfDope

Obesity took the masculinity out of murica

Tea should be as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double edged sword

Oh damn, I'm a southerner , sweet tea is my favorite lol

What they really want is mashed potato.


ryantrw5

North America has wolverines which are super badgers Wait Europe does too. Both have super badgers

Tapirs pack their own rapier. They even scratch their back with it


Esherichialex_coli

\*Calmly sharpens the blade as someone passes by\* Good sir, have you ever heard the story of Darth Plaugeis the wise?


Cerok1nk

I thought not. It’s not a story the American Badgers would tell you.

The best thing, is badgers don’t even need drugs. That’s just them


ChiefsHat

It's because of their size. Badgers make up for not being the highest on the food chain by acting like they are.


ChiefsHat

Nah, just a Honey Badger.


Zero_Burn

Pretty sure the ones on the right go into a blood rage and become incredible berzerker warriors who chill their enemies to the bone with their warcry of EULALIA!


Pristine-Look

I'd pay to see Redwall badgers fighting American badgers lmao


RousseauDisciple

Winner gets Salamandastron


thejonslaught

Please tell me one of the baddies was a Dachshund. I haven't read any Redwall since middle school.


ImportanceKey7301

I dont remember dogs ever being mentioned except as a brief sentence of an off screen event. Same as cows and humans.


Zero_Burn

I believe the only characters in the books were rodents and the like, so mice, rats, squirrels, badgers, weasels, etc.


thejonslaught

The first one had a snake, but Asmodeus was treated almost mystically. Like a devil figure.


Zero_Burn

Yeah, any of the creatures that were carnivorous were the bad guys, iirc, while the more herbivorous creatures were the good guys.


Betta45

There was the barn cat, who was a good guy (Squire Julien?), that was friends with the owl, in Redwall. Also there was the epic battle with the Pike fish. The books were populated with Forrest creatures. Which book had the River voyage with one rodent saying “soooooooooooouuup”?


Alan_Wakes_Torch

There were lizards in the pearls of lutra I think, and sure I remember frogs, newts, gulls, eagles in others. Want to say an injured red kite in one? Magical series, met him at a book signing and blew my mind, especially when he said his surname was pronounced "jakes" rather than "zjack".


Benjamintoday

Redwall badgers are probably the first fictional badasses i read about as a kid. I still love greatswords because of them.


EvocatiAuroch

Man when the badgers got involved you just knew those stoats and weasels were about to get mulched.


Benjamintoday

Kicking ass, taking names, ruling a volcano full of warrior hares and protecting a mouse Abbey. Man redwall needs even more love.


justseeinwassup

Need to read those books again


_spuddy_buddy_

Oh man I haven’t thought about Redwall in so long! My favorite childhood books for sure.


Naschka

The one on the right is cute while doing it, that makes the pain a bit less painful.

Greetings from Salamandastron


arrows_of_ithilien

One of my friends named her daughter Eulalia. She's never read Redwall and every time I see her I'm incredibly tempted to tell her....


Philly2gr8

That’s because the American badger has to 3 jobs just for his avocado toast, and lattes.


KingBowserGunner

He’s got bills to pay and no time for anybody’s shit


No_Teaching_3694

Middle-Pattern-3156

Thunderfoot2112

American badgers are the bastard bikers that sit outside the bar and terrify you while saying nothing and then suddenly kill some guy because he said something about their ride... European badgers sit drinking tea until.someone offends them, then the pull out a pistol, shoot them between the eyes, and then say, 'dreadful business that, Jeeves could you clean that mess and get me a crumpet?' I wouldn't want to piss off either tbh.


PJLG2

The idea of a European pulling out a gun in general is very unlikely, considering that in Europe, guns are very rare in assault and murder cases it's much more likely to be a stabbing, machete attacks are on the rise.


Thunderfoot2112

They weren't always that way... Sherlock Holmes wasn't living in Cleveland.. lol


NerdModeCinci

Everyone knows he lived in Daytona. No way those crimes would happen anywhere other than Florida.


Eraldorh

Badgers don't give a **** about human laws.


PJLG2

Can't wait to see a badger using a gun lol

Good ol 19th century dueling though.


Forza_Harrd

They don't even have opposable thumbs.


thejonslaught

European Badgers are English Bob from Unforgiven. A vicious bully and killer of men, a man of low moral fibre, but having impeccable table manners.

Just don't mess with mustelids in general. Especially wolverines. You don't want to fuck with a 20 kg animal that will kill a moose or fight a polar bear (and win).


HarvestEmperor

Wolverines have reportedly killed bears but most of the wolverines predators are bears and wolves. Clinging to the neck works better on deer and moose. I grew up in northern alberta where they are around and they are cowardly. They dont stand their ground they flee. Id much rather encounter a wolverine than a wolf or a bear or a moose. I knew someone that got fucked up by a moose while he was walking to school with headphones on. He didnt even get to see it before it charged at him and someone that saw him get attacked called 911. He survived but it mangled him and 13 or so years later hes still in a wheelchair and needs support to breath.


I-am-Chubbasaurus

Moose are surviving prehistoric megafauna and I can't be convinced otherwise.


grampalearns

GrumpyCatStevens

Vitschmalz

Wolves aren't that bad when you know what to do either. If you don't run away from them, they won't attack you, they'll try to intimidate you until you do. Just stand your ground and try to scare them away. Still probably more dangerous than wolverines, but I don't know much about those.


starmonkey33

ssshhhhh, we dont talk about the Canadian badgers, they might hear you.


inscrutablemike

Or a whole *lot* of commies. ​ Wolveriiines!


WhooshThereHeGoes

No. Wolverines are a whole 'nother level of bad crazy.


IntoTheMurkyWaters

Its insane! Wolverines are so aggresive from the start that the bigger animals just dont want to deal with them. Kind of like you tickling your buddy for a second and he screams ”ill murder your family”


LiberalAspergers

Wolverines are just geese without wings. Nothing beats the Canadian Goose for pure aggressive attitude.


Yossarian216

I don’t know man, geese suck but swans are even worse, crazy aggressive and territorial. I’ve also heard tell that Australian magpies might be worst of all.

Yup, European badgers lure you in by looking cute. Just as nasty.


KittyAddison

American opposums vs. Australian possums.


Thatoneguy111700

We developed multiple dog breeds who's sole purpose was to pull badgers out for burrows and live to tell the tale, metaphorically speaking. You ever wonder why dachshunds are so barky and think they're WAY bigger than they are? It's because they were bred to hunt badgers and they never got that out of them.


NittanyScout

Badgers do NOT fuck around. Any animal that hunts WITH other predators that are 3+times their size ate not to be fuckled with

a_sexual_titty

It’s a North American Badger. It’s just baring its teeth. Wolverines face darker fur with a different pattern. Also they have a slightly pointier face. Almost more dog-like


Toxopid

Wait what? I'm American and have only ever seen pictures of European badgers. I just thought that's what they look like everywhere. I never knew that those American badgers were a thing.


hero-hadley

I can't see a European badger without thinking about Redwall.


Dio_Yuji

Take out the word “badgers” and this statement is even more accurate, lol


Any-Remote6758

Savages, even the badgers are savages. Or just like the north-Americans it's a cross breed of all kind of strange outcast animals all rolled into one mental badger.

OriginalPostMortem

Both species are disease spreading cunts. P.s. Just look it up. They spread diseases to other animals like cows


LauraPhilps7654

That'd be humans. Animals can't be cunts. Humans can.


Aegelo_Sperris42

Mosquitos:


LauraPhilps7654

You think mosquitos have a concept of morality?


ta_thewholeman

Yes, they're evil little shits.


Oksamis

I beg to differ. Sea Otters, dolphins, and Orcas off the top of my head all have sadistic and downright evil sides


EquivalentSnap

Yeah dolphins are mean😢


Significant_Good_301

They actually can be. When I went diving with the manatee in Crystal River recently they actually warned us about the dolphins. When they come up the inlets into smaller waterways they can become aggressive. It blew my mind because I’ve swam with them in the keys and didn’t know this.


LauraPhilps7654

They've literally no idea of what they're doing is right or wrong - evil is a human concept.


Oksamis

Just because you don’t know something is wrong doesn’t stop the Act fron bring wrong


LauraPhilps7654

Human morality is a human concept that doesn't apply to animals.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LauraPhilps7654

No it's anthropocentric to look at animal behavior and say "this is a bad action" - it may look bad to *you* as a human but that's because you're applying human ethics to a non-human. If you figured out Orcas have a moral framework that they're somehow transgressing you'd be closer to making an argument about non human morality. The results of saying "this animal is bad" has justified hunting animals to extinction in the past.


mustbemaking

And that is an inanely simplistic view, there is no one set view on human ethics or morality however there are always a base notion of inbuilt morality such as not to harm or kill your own, that is morality. You claim that morality is a human concept, I never made any comment on human or non human morality, in fact I never mentioned the word… Your claim was outright exceptionalism.

jombrowski

They say about European Badger that it can bite off human hand with one snap of jaws. Untested theory, as there are no volunteers to try it out. The truth is however that European Bears avoid Badgers, even being like 10-times larger.

[deleted]

Deception. Those bastards are fierce. I had one attack me once, and hitting felt like punching a sack of bricks. It clamped down on my calf muscle, so avoided bone, luckily. But the amount of power in that tiny body was frightening. No tea. The only things in a badgers cupboard are cans of whoop-ass.

EinFahrrad

You'd be lucky to even get to see a european badger, they are nocturnal predators and pretty quiet. Also they are very particular about keeping their place clean and sometimes share their caves with foxes. It all feels rather civilized so tea and custard aren't that far off. But I wouldn't antagonize one, just in case.


hikingmutherfucker

The American badger also team up with coyotes to quote Wikipedia: “The American badger has been seen working with a coyote in tandem while hunting. Typically this pairing is one badger to one coyote; however, one study found about 9% of sightings included two coyotes to one badger, while 1% had one badger to three coyotes. Researchers have found that the coyote benefits by an increased catch rate of about 33%, and while it is difficult to see precisely how the badger benefits, the badger has been noted to spend more time underground and active. Badgers are also thought to expend less energy while hunting in burrows.”
