Badgers!
They are the new cool thing.
Julia and I went out to the buffalo jump south of Great Falls a bit, and I walked along the cliff, and saw three badgers and a coyote. They were below me maybe 20 ft on a ledge that was about 20 ft wide; just enjoying themselves immensely. I'm pretty sure they didn't know I was there - the badgers, not the coyote. I don't know if he saw me or not; he got up and left but that could have been because of the badger heading straight for him.
If you ever see one, you will recognize it at once by how it runs - from behind, it looks like a flat, fur rug that undulates along. I thought 'raccoon' first, but the tail isn't striped.
