The Asian badger ranges from eastern Europe to eastern Asia and is well adapted for digging. It has a white face with dark stripes over the eyes, and its coat color varies by region.
Its body is stocky and wedge-shaped, with short legs and long claws suited to digging. The coat is generally grayish silver, with a white face and dark brown or black stripes over the eyes.
It digs burrows in forests, grasslands, and other habitats. Earthworms are a common food, but it is an omnivore that also eats insects, small animals, fruit, and nuts, and tends to stay near water.
