In the wrong time and place

    Just out of curiousity, are badgers rodents? There was a fine badger crossing the road today as I drove home from Dad's. He didn't seem too scared so I got to watch him quite awhile.

    Badgers are not rodents, they are carnivores related to weasels. However, spotting one that doesn't scurry away is a major find. I've never seen one, American or European, and I'd really like to.
