Original – American Badger (Taxidea taxus)

Reason: High quality daytime photograph of a primarily nocturnal mammal. Photograph taken in natural habitat (not a zoo). Provides a full face on view, which highlights that the eyes both face directly forward, which is important for binocular vision in carnivores

- Noise is really heavy in the shadows, probably from lightening in post-processing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:22, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
