Badger as a neighbor

This is my neighbor and her grandson's pet badger. No he's not very nice to strangers, but he loves to play with those he knows.
They feed him with a plastic medicine dropper because his razor-sharp teeth destroy nipples.
He was fun to watch for a couple hours, but I'm glad he was only visiting. I now know why those little things will tear up a large dog. Their little paws are very well equiped with one inch long claws that are made for one thing only....tearing up meat.
