What happens when two wolves find a badger in the woods…
Moral of the story: you just don’t mess around with badgers!
For a bit of context, the pair of wolves here are the Blood Moon Pack (the pack was only 2 wolves last winter).
The breeding female of the Blood Moon Pack, Wolf Y5E, was killed by the Biondich Pack in late January 2025. This left the breeding male, Wolf Y1T, by himself as the Blood Moon Pack was just a breeding pair.
However, Y1T found a new mate by early March or so. The first wolf in the video is his new mate who he had been traveling with for the past 1.5 months (this video was taken in mid-April 2025).
The Blood Moon Pack did not produce pups in 2025 because the mating season had passed by the time Y1T found his new mate. So, the Biondich Pack effectively prevented their neighbor, the Blood Moon Pack, from reproducing.
Anyway, the second wolf in the video is Wolf Y1T who walks up to give the badger a little sniff!

Some things you just don't mess with. Badger's are one.

First wolf: "That's Mr. Badger, don't mess with him."
Second wolf: "You don't have to tell me twice."

The American Badger. The less temperamental cousin of the Honey Badger. Honey Badger would have started a fight just to prove he could. American Badger suggest that you shouldn't start a fight. I grew up around Wisconsin American Badgers. They generally avoid confrontation unless they are backed into a corner. Now that corner might be an open field but still … Step wide.
I only knew of one dog that lived after attacking an American Badger. That dog was fast.

Badgers are mustelids, and really big ones. This whole family are bad-ass scrappers, and can handle foes many times their size. Not surprised the wolves didn't want to chat.

I had a similar experience with a skunk.
Skunk: "Are we going to play nice or are we going to get down and dirty?"
Me: "You go your way, I'll go mine. Here – you go first.
Skunk: "Sounds like a plan. See ya again some day. Bye".
Me: "It's been a pleasure".

Doesn't need to be a honey badger to give you indigestion with a bad case of the bites.
