typhlonectes: Hog Badger (Arctonyx collaris) This anmial gets its name from its swine-like snout, which it uses to sniff out food. One of the omnivore’s favorite snacks? Earthworms! When threatened by a predator like a tiger or a leopard, the hog badger can quickly dig up a burrow to seek shelter. This southeast Asian species lives in a variety of habitats including mountains, grasslands, and rainforests.Photo: Rushenb, CC-BY-SA-4.0, Wikimedia Commons via: American Museum of Natural History -- source link
