Tlalcoyote (Taxidea taxus)Observ.
tomlottDescripción
Despite having lived in the live oak savanna of Atascosa County, which is more like a forest in some areas, for 38 years, this game cam shot is my first evidence of the American Badger (Taxidea taxus) around here. There is, however, a plethora of pocket gophers in the sandy soil for them to prey on. Apparent first Atascosa record in iNat.
