On our way back to the RV yesterday morning in Custer State Park, we slowed to check out a black-tailed prairie dog town. I was surprised to see a badger pop out of a burrow and we quickly photographed it from the car. After it went down into another burrow, I set up to photograph it from a tripod so I could get lower and also more aligned with the light. After waiting for about half an hour, the badger popped back up. It posed several times, excavated the first burrow where we had seen it, and then disappeared back down the second burrow.
