Kilt Wearing Badgers

The photo accompanying the reviews of the new movie stop-action movie, the Fantastic Mr. Fox show a regiment of kilt wearing badgers (some of whom apparently are wearing badger sporrans.)



More about the movie here.

Best regards,

Jake

Just an idle question but I can't get it out of my head:

What do badgers wear for a full face sporran??

Many pictures come to mind, most of them bad.

Unless they are attached to the Argyle and Sutherland, then most surely horsehair. The other is down right cannibalistic.

Badgers wear full face Teddy bears for their sporrans.. Sometimes they have the long hair porcupine guard hair sporrans to wear for dress.

If the badger are wearing badger sporrans, then they must be made from enemies that they slew in battle! That would be a bit like a human wearing a full face human sporran, though - incredibly bloodthirsty and scary.

That pretty much sounds like most of the nature films I've seen - badgers don't do "mildly annoyed" or "slightly peeved."
