Best Answer

In North America, coyotes sometimes eat badgers and vice versa. American badgers have few natural predators, the primary predators of badgers are humans. Natural predation on badgers is rare, with young animals being most vulnerable. Other predators of American badgers include golden eagles, bobcats, cougars, and coyotes. Bears and gray wolves may also sometimes take badgers

Adult honey badgers rarely serve as prey for lions and leopards; their ferocity and thick, loose skin makes it difficult to grip or suffocate them. Old, weak honey badgers are more likely to fall prey to leopards, lions, and pythons

Predators Adult badgers have few natural enemies. Badgers are fierce animals and will protect themselves and their young at all costs. Badgers are capable of fighting off much larger animals such as wolves, coyotes and bears, but badger cubs are sometimes killed and eaten by foxes or they may also be taken by large Birds of Prey like golden eagles and buzzards. In other countries, other predators which may take cubs are wolves, lynx, bears, wolverines and eagle owls.

Not many things apart from bacteria and worms.

A will look at one, but unless it is really hungry, it will pass it by in search of better and less smelly food. Carrion will have a peck, but will not be on the top of their daily cuisine.

Very few things eat a badger, which is why you will see the roadkill for weeks.

Adult badgers are not generally eaten by other creatures as they are able to defend themselves against larger carnivores.

Young badgers, however, may be taken by bigger carnivores. Depending on the country, these might be leopards, tigers, lions, wolves, lynxes and even domestic dogs. They may also be eaten by birds of prey.
