We may not see them walking the streets but dozens of American Badgers make the South Cariboo their home.
The evidence is in their stripes. Researchers have found that the white stripe running down the middle of a badger’s face is as unique an identifier as a human’s fingerprint. It’s thanks to those stripes Roger Packham, a habitat biologist, has been able to track the movements of badgers across the Cariboo over the last 20 years.
