Badgers live in Europe, Asia and North America, and the European and American badgers look a little different. The European badger has a black and white striped face and a gray body, while the American badger has a white stripe running up its nose and a grizzled, brownish coat. Talk about their long front claws and how badgers dig underground homes, called setts in Europe, with many rooms and tunnels.
Color the stripes first so they stay crisp, with black beside each white band. Then add gray or brown to the body with short strokes, so the fur looks rough and shaggy.
