I sure would like to see that badger, I’ve never seen one.
Oh, you have no chance of seeing one here. :p Ever since the zoo built the badger a new enclosure, it is practically impossible to get even a bad glimpse of it. Your only chance is to get to that enclosure at closing time in the summer, and even then your chances are low. But fret not! There are 31 zoos in the US and Canada keeping this species. Henry Vilas Zoo has the best exhibit (and the most active badgers) by far, so if you want to see one for the first time, I recommend you go there.
