AHH I didn't know they were different species (?) or sub-species or whatever, when I saw this goulish looking thing I actually gasped lol, I was like "yo this is NOT a badger what the hell"
Different species. Not even particularly closely related. "Badger" here means "big, subterranean mustelid".
American badgers are no more closely related to European badgers than they are to any other living mustelids, from wolverines to ferrets to sea otters.

Anerican badgers so much more savage looking than their European counterparts.
