Fluidr / 2409_1387 American Badger by wild prairie man

Six frames before yesterday's shot... the badger throws its head back and appears to be howling. But in reality, it was silent. The head roll and body roll followed.

These are selected frames, of course, as I was shooting in burst mode. I'm trying to pick the right ones for this set, but no doubt a few others will make their way into my "stream" in the future.

Look at those teeth and claws!
