Time for some badgering!

Yes, there are badgers in Sabino Canyon. If you've seen rather large holes, like this one, along the trails, you've likely encountered an entrance/exit to a badger den. Badgers are mainly carnivores (and are related to that paragon of fierceness, the wolverine); don't get one as a pet. Thanks to Sue, via Ned, for permission to use this photo taken in Sabino Canyon a few weeks ago.
