A badger was attacked by raccoon dogs

An aggressive encounter between raccoon dogs and a badger was documented by a camera-trap at the badger outlier. As far as we could find out the full story, a breeding couple of raccoon dogs placed their cubs in a dense grass nearby an outlier burrow of badgers. An adult badger was purposed to visit the outlier, but it was suddenly attacked by the parental raccoon dogs. After a short fight the badger escaped.

the badger is much more powerful, lucky for that 1st raccoon dog that got grabbed he wasnt alone

[@naustecostation]

yes, being most of the time together is raccoon dog's superpower =)

Another great capture! Pretty ferocious for their size, badger held his own pretty well tho! 👍

[@theholymackerel072]

This is called “fuck around and find out”. Badgers are the LAST animal you want yo anger.

[@theotheseaeagle]

European badgers aren’t as aggressive as their American cousins but can still pack a punch if they get attacked or cornered. European badgers have been known to attack and kill raccoon dogs that enter their setts

Imagine sleeping and hearing that noise

Never seen a Tanuki in battle..

Do racoon dogs have predators ?

[@naustecostation]

sure, lynx and wolf are #1 raccoon dog enemies. Have a look sidorovich.blog/2020/02/13/extermination-of-red-foxes-and-raccoon-dogs-by-lynxes-and-wolves-in-forested-terrains-and-the-peculiarities-of-local-populations-of-these-medium-sized-carnivores/

Raccoon?

[@YuriyKlyuch]

The sound of fierce battle is utterly comical! If I heard those sounds elsewhere I would have thought it’s cartoon voiceover made by human.

Haha 😂

Maybe you never let a hammer fall on your toes..

[@oriraykai3610]

Looked to me more like the racoon dog escaped, with a few cries of pain to boot...

[@slobama]

I agree

[@Shyne282]

Looked to me like the badger ran off and left his burrow,but maybe we are watching different videos 😂

[@fellow7091]

Rather the raccoon dogs were attacked by badger

[@wildlifeexpedition9720]

I always thought badgers were stronger than racoons

[@naustecostation]

They are, but the strong side of raccoon dogs (not raccoons) is that they are almost all time walk with a partner

[@juanjotavishion2072]

That's not racoons, these animals are racoon dogs or tanukis

Raccoon dog?? Wow the badgers are so tough that two animals had to cross breed to have a chance?😅

[@thecrow6915]

Only the Strong survive

There's a badger but I think those are foxes

[@mysteryguy1267]

These are raccoon dogs

[@theotheseaeagle]

They are raccoon dogs. They were introduced to Europe from Eastern Asia as a result of escapees or deliberate releases from fur farms and now they are widespread across most of Europe. Foxes have longer tails and longer legs than a raccoon dog
