Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple zoology student and crustacean researcher from Ohio. This blog centers around animal IDs so feel free to send me any unknown species (and its location) that you have and I will take my best shot at IDing it! I also occasionally post random zoology/animal factoid things.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Hog Badger (Arctonyx collaris)
…is a not a true badger, and is the only extant member of its genus. Hog badgers are endemic to Southern China and parts of Indochina, and an isolated population in Mongolia. Unlike their badger relatives hog badgers are not nocturnal and are active at both day and night, where they feed on fruits, roots and small animals.
