How to Draw a Badger Step 01

Then use a series of overlapping curved lines to trace the snout. Enclose a round shape at the tip of the snout to indicate the nose.

Learn More About The Badger Drawing

Badgers are small mammals that live in North America, Europe, and Asia. They dig burrows and are recognized by their distinctive striped markings.

They are in the same family as weasels, ferrets, wolverines, and skunks.

Many folktales and legends have been linked to the badger because "their nocturnal habits have given them an air of mystery."

In China and Japan, they were thought to be shape-shifters. They were depicted in medieval heraldry and are commonly used as mascots today.

There have also been a number of well-known badgers in fiction, from books to cartoons.

These include Beatrix Potter's Tommy Brock and various characters from the Redwall series, The Wind in the Willows, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Incident at Hawk's Hill, Rupert Bear and The Animals of Farthing Woods.

These characters often display real-life badger qualities such as reclusiveness and ferocity in protecting themselves or their friends.

Did you know? Myths about the ability of a groundhog to predict the coming of spring were first assigned to the badger. Before that, the ability was thought to be possessed by bears.
