The Schnozzle Patrol

by Meg on January 16, 2008

Um, there is MORE than enough schnozzle to go around in this vid. Question: Could you have MORE Schnozzle in this video?

The answer is none. None more schnozzle, Lynette. None!

OMG! They are SO damn cute. I want one each too. :o )

2 Alex B 01.16.08 at 12:43 am

Badgers?!

..
..

Mushroom! (sorry)

3 Theresa 01.16.08 at 12:44 am

OMG, is that a BADGER BADGER!? Wait, OMG, And OTTER OTTER!!??
(splodes)

4 Kate 01.16.08 at 12:46 am

AAAAH! MUSTELIDS!

Who just happens to have an otter and a badger at their disposal?

This is amazing.

5 debg 01.16.08 at 12:48 am

Kate, I agree. What sort of person gets to cavort with BOTH an otter and a badger? It’s not fair. She’s got two and I don’t even have one.

6 katie 01.16.08 at 12:48 am

I’m guessing they’re babies too? I agree with earlier posters, who has a otter and a badger at the same time? random, but adorable!

7 Redzilla 01.16.08 at 12:49 am

This is interspecies snorgling. This is your interspecies snorgling on drugs.

Really? An otter and a badger just happen to be playing with each other and making adorable little romping noises?

8 My sister's cat is a blob 01.16.08 at 12:51 am

I think Meg needs to add a new category: Unfair. As in, it is sooo unfair that someone gets to have a badger AND an otter, and that someone is not me. If they also had a hedgehog, I would have had a tantrum.

9 Jon 01.16.08 at 12:52 am

Badgers? We aint got no badgers! I don’t have to show you ant STEENKING BADGERS!

10 michellemybelle 01.16.08 at 12:54 am

As if the badger on its own wasn’t enough to kill me dead, there’s an otter too? That makes noises? And the babehs are friends? Geesh.

11 hey-h 01.16.08 at 12:54 am

SO unfair, and SO interspecies snorgling.

12 estella 01.16.08 at 1:17 am

I second the “Unfair” category! I’m about to have a screaming tantrum :( How long do you think we should badger Meg until she makes that new category? A few days otter do it, right?

13 Theo 01.16.08 at 1:17 am

*ahem*

Very cute.

“What sort of person gets to cavort with BOTH an otter and a badger? It’s not fair.”

http://www.secretworld.org/

Apparently.

15 BlueCat 01.16.08 at 1:27 am

*ahem* how does one go about getting their very own badger? I could be a very good badger mommy. Really. *blink* *blink*

Oh, and if he had a little otter friend? Even better. Lots of creeks around here to play in!

I agree – if there had been a hedgie too, I don’t think I could recover from this. As it is, I had to break out the smelling salts.

16 Sarah K. 01.16.08 at 1:27 am

OMGZZ!!!!!!111!!!

I want one. Well, I want two.

Puhhleeeze! I love the ottery noises the behbeh otter makes when he’s climbing on his badger bud’s back. SO CUTE!

17 Maybalee 01.16.08 at 1:38 am


Absolutely adorable badger-otter!

18 Laura 01.16.08 at 1:42 am

I guess we know that otters weren’t trying to take over the world after all… they were just trying to be BFF’s with bebe badgers!

19 dub1 01.16.08 at 1:43 am

I want the compleat bebeh Wind in the Willows set, tooo ooooo.

20 louveciennes 01.16.08 at 1:44 am

It’s like The Wind in the Willows leapt right off the page and into reality! Where are Mole and the Water Rat?! Darn those lucky English and their pastoral cuteness!!

21 lurkingsmirk 01.16.08 at 1:45 am

now that’s the stuff kid’s books are made of! “Otter and Badger are Friends.”

22 CheshireCat 01.16.08 at 1:47 am

I can no longer look at delightful, schnozzletastic badgers without that infernal Badger earworm playing over,and over in my head! But that anerable squeak conversation between the badger and otter was definitely worth it.

23 Rachel of Cyberia 01.16.08 at 1:47 am

Which one has the hiccups?

24 Crazed 01.16.08 at 1:47 am

Being chased by an angry badger up a hawthorn tree counts as one of the most terrifying and painful experiences of my life. That said…
AWWWW! Look at the ‘iddle badger! So CUTE! Ooohhh, I want to kiss it’s nose like a bunny! And and otter! ^_^ EEEE! They’re so adorable on their own, but deadly cute together.

25 Alex 01.16.08 at 1:57 am

An otter and a badger? I can’t handle it….*brain explodes from the fuzzy schnozzles* Who just has both of those? Want.

26 Erin K 01.16.08 at 2:15 am

I was able to handle it, really I was until the noise! that badger is a visitor from some cuttlebuns planet.

27 Zoe 01.16.08 at 2:24 am

Otter + Badger = Unbearably Cute.

Is the badger’s name Toph? Because it should be.

28 liz 01.16.08 at 2:24 am

and if they get really friendly they could have a lil Ottage-a-ter. or a boggatter …
or somethin like that.
the lil baby badger kills , totally.

29 Ant 01.16.08 at 2:25 am

o/~ badgers, badgers, badgers, … o/~

30 Lone 01.16.08 at 2:35 am

Could there be more Schnoz? I say Yes! I dont think CO has done an anteater bebe yet, so thatd have been the pièce de résistance.
I know someone out there has one so lets just get all of the them together and suffer the world to explode from this ultimate snorgle.

31 LBeeeze 01.16.08 at 2:38 am

It actually sounds like they’re laughing !

32 sadtomato 01.16.08 at 2:38 am

Call me greedy but, I for one, could use more schnozzle.

33 Jess 01.16.08 at 2:51 am

Oh. my god.

NEED.

34 compy-saur 01.16.08 at 2:52 am

I loved the blunt shnouts, ’speshly the ottings’ shnout. Oh oh, but the badget hads a cute shnout, too! *visual overload*

35 Vicki 01.16.08 at 2:58 am

At the beginning I was like AWHS Cute Baby Badgie!! But then the babeh otter showed up and I was like NUH-UHN! NO WAY!! TOO MUCH CUTE AND NONE FOR MEH!

Definitely unfair! ^_^

36 Fegli 01.16.08 at 3:11 am

Is that a baby badger wrestling a baby otter? Holy cuteness!

37 silverelanor 01.16.08 at 3:13 am

It’s like visiting Salamandastron…

38 e 01.16.08 at 3:14 am

Badgers and odders are my favorite things!
TOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!!!!!!!
HEAD CANT TAKE IT!!!
SPLODE!!!!

39 agouti_kappa 01.16.08 at 3:21 am

otter+badger+coati+armadillo would be sufficient shozzliciousness for me…with a napolean mastiff watching over the whole quartet! But now I’m talking sci-fi aint I?

40 Denita TwoDragons 01.16.08 at 3:26 am

That is Weapons-Grade Cute!

42 Eagleheart 01.16.08 at 3:34 am

Badger? Otter?

REDWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!! EULALIA!

*geeks out*

43 Mollence 01.16.08 at 3:53 am

So I have to go watch the badger mushroom snake video now. Thanks a lot…

44 rachel cullen 01.16.08 at 3:58 am

SERIOUSLY? is that seriously a badger-otter love fest? i can die happy now! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK THATWASSOCUTE EEEEKKK :D :D :D

45 Caitlin 01.16.08 at 3:58 am

asdflkjasd;gljfdgjAAAAAAAAAAA

i think i just died and went to Mustelid Heaven. <3 <3 <3

(my other screen name is lutraphile. i like otters XD)

Any James Herriot fans out there? Remember Callum and his badger? I was always SO JEALOUS. I know wild badgers can be vicious, but I wonder how hard it is to socialize one… hmmm….

46 Caitlin 01.16.08 at 3:59 am

oh, and Eagleheart? YES.

… they’re dibbuns! :D

47 Annie 01.16.08 at 4:17 am

::Gasp::: I did not just see that…::: Shakes head::: Really it couldn’t have happened..

IT is too cute.

48 anon 01.16.08 at 4:25 am

I actually saw this video aaages ago… when I saw it, my CO senses were tinglingks but I didn’t submit it. Stupid me.

Also, sweet brian regan reference!!

49 DKN 01.16.08 at 4:26 am

DUDE! Just…dude.

*SPLODE*

50 berthaslave 01.16.08 at 4:30 am

There’s a few “ehn”’s in here too, for the record.

And yes, “Unfair” is a good category, though I hope it is used sparingly if officially adopted as a tag.

By the way, Meg, excellent Nigel Tufnel reference.

This is pan-mustelid insanity. Once the World of Weasels cements its internal alliances, WE ARE TOAST.

53 bananasforbunnies 01.16.08 at 5:23 am

What, what….
not only Baby Badger and Baby Otter but she says “stay together” and they do…..
I’m deed!

54 ElSass 01.16.08 at 5:24 am

I think you broke my cuteometer.

55 michellemybelle 01.16.08 at 5:26 am

For those peeps wanting to read a great story about badgers, I recommend “Cold Moons” by Aeron Clement (It took me a while to remember the name – I read it a long time ago). It’s similar to Watership Down but about badgers, and has beautiful illustrations.

56 blair 01.16.08 at 5:35 am

badger and dachshund, best of friends – now that there would be like the peace in the middle east, fer yerhe

57 Julia (the one in BC) 01.16.08 at 5:40 am

Yay badgère! Yay ottère!

May floofball mustelid power conquer the world :-)

RE: The Sounds. Ferrets are in the same family as these guys and make very similar sounds. I get to hear this stuff every day. The cutest, though, is when my baby, the 7 month old 3+ lb beasite baby, makes noise in his sleep, it sounds like that. I bet I squee in my sleep.

60 Mad William Flint 01.16.08 at 5:47 am

came here for the “Mushroom!” reference.

left happy :-)

61 Evangeline's Staff in WI 01.16.08 at 6:12 am

You couldn’t possibly know what the combination of THOSE behbehs is to us – but oh YEAH, what they all said. I am SO lovin’ this!!

62 Stacy75 01.16.08 at 6:25 am

@Alex B:

badgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadger

Ohh! snake! It’s a Snake….

63 Kar 01.16.08 at 7:09 am

For what it’s worth,

We don’t need no steenking badgers.

If we can’t have the one, we’ll take the otter.

Ok, sorry. Seriously, WHO THE HECK IS SQUEAKING! They’re so intermingled I can’t tell who’s bleating all lamb-like.

Is it me or is someone sniffing around for a jam sandwich?

64 mike d 01.16.08 at 7:22 am

the schnozzle factor definitely goes to 11 on this one.

65 Hon Glad 01.16.08 at 7:24 am

How Otterly divine.

66 Edward 01.16.08 at 7:47 am

That’s so cute, I actually want to die.

Throw a hedgehog in the mix, and I would simply cease to be.

Fantastic stuff.

67 tesstricks 01.16.08 at 8:27 am

Yeah, my Redwall fantasy here is missing a couple jovial hares.

68 DeciduousFroot 01.16.08 at 8:39 am

Yes please, we can has Mole and Ratty now? For to havings the Wind an Willows? These NEEDS the Moley, an perhaps the Toad. Then they bees completes. Bebbes Wind and Willows!

69 Dude-o-rama 01.16.08 at 11:14 am

@ Alex B: CURSE YOU! Now I’m forced to watch it again T_T

70 Alice Shortcake 01.16.08 at 11:34 am

I have to confess that were this not a family site I would have expected to see some hot otter-on-badger action…

71 Emma 01.16.08 at 11:56 am

Presumably it’s filmed at a wildlife rescue or someplace – there’s no way that (legally) you could have a badger as a pet in the UK. Cute, but vicious!

72 Maerlyn99 01.16.08 at 12:03 pm

OK, first of all, all you other Redwallers beat me to it. Definitely a Salamandastron moment.

Second, did anyone else picture the honeybadger from “The Gods Must Be Crazy 2″? Greatest chase scene in cinematic history. “I thought you were tired.”

73 skippy 01.16.08 at 12:13 pm

It’s Mossflower! I’m sure there are hares there too, you just can’t see them (sneaky buggers, what!)

74 Holy Cuteness 01.16.08 at 1:34 pm

They get along very well! Sooo adorable…

75 Theresa 01.16.08 at 1:35 pm

Wouldn’t you know these redonkulous bebehs are in teeny tiny Engerland. Where else?

78 jen 01.16.08 at 2:44 pm

eeeeeeep!!!!!! too cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute! *splodes*

79 Jack Ruttan 01.16.08 at 3:38 pm

I like “deadly cute.”

Afraid with these guys, if Mr. Toad or Ratty were around, he’d be gobbled up, little spectacles, tiny breeches and all.

80 charliewabba 01.16.08 at 3:41 pm

oh

my

goodness

oh

i might as well just go home now and go back to bed.

81 charliewabba 01.16.08 at 3:44 pm

I mean, relly – the excess of schnozzle is the LEAST of it.

82 Nancy Liedel - The Goat Rodeo 01.16.08 at 4:20 pm

Adorableness beyond all legal limits!

83 Badger this? 01.16.08 at 4:40 pm

An f’n badger? Wow…

84 liz 01.16.08 at 5:22 pm

babee otter is all like “she tol us to STAY together [pushes down on babbee badger] so STAY dang it” [push push push]!
“oh heck with it! lets go play”

and then she picks them both up! GAHHH! I’m bordering on hating/wanting to stalk or just thievery.
not fair that one should have SO much while others have so very little in the way of wild babbee animals.

85 Xtineebee 01.16.08 at 5:40 pm

OMG!! It’s all badgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadger!, then we also get otterotterotterotterotterotter!

Whee! Will now spend rest of workday chanting badgerotterbadgerotterbadgerotter to m’self.

badgerotterbadgersquee!

86 Melinda 01.16.08 at 5:47 pm

Meg, many people have requested, and I do think they are correct, we need an ‘Unfair” section. Why should that lady be so blessed with all that cute all at once! NOT FAIR!!! I want a baby otter and badger, too. (makes pouty face and stomps feet.)

87 mberkie0 01.16.08 at 5:59 pm

AAA-hem! Do baby otters and badgers eat cheeze?

88 Sprock 01.16.08 at 6:03 pm

This video goes to eleven.

89 Trish 01.16.08 at 6:09 pm

Badger + otter = two heroic lil’ dibbun heroes out of some Redwall book that are off to kick some serious vermin booty with those cute lil’ “beep beep” noises …

Just throw a baby hedge in there and you’ll have your classic dibbun trio, wot!

90 debkakes 01.16.08 at 6:15 pm

Hello? Interspecies Snorgling???

91 liz 01.16.08 at 6:17 pm

Melinda is totally right. [holds up picket sign for "NOT FAIR" category]
I’m not leaving here til we get one.

92 shandrewsca 01.16.08 at 6:21 pm

Baby badgers is all, “get off mah back”, and baby otter is all, “you WILL love me!”

93 Furbabies 01.16.08 at 6:50 pm

Love the “UHF” reference and the Badger/mushroom/snake one too! Those were the first things floating thru my mind
after seeing this vid. Such sweet babies. Want, NOW.

94 hey-h 01.16.08 at 6:52 pm

Callum and his badger! Yes! Thank you, whoeverwrotethat, for the James Herriot reminder…now you make me want to go home and curl up with some nice country vet stories and a hot cup o’ cocoa. Is it quitting time yet?

95 MH 01.16.08 at 7:10 pm

For those that have no idea what the badgerbadgerbadger, mushroom mushroom, and snake references are all about…one of the internet’s first randomly famous videos:

96 ali 01.16.08 at 7:10 pm

Wind in the Willows! W00T!

97 MH 01.16.08 at 7:11 pm
98 Lewen 01.16.08 at 7:14 pm

the weird squeaking is freaking me out!!!!!!!

99 Carla 01.16.08 at 7:28 pm

Fuzzy little snouts with the interspecies snorgling. I think I can die now.

*dies*

100 Rob 01.16.08 at 7:55 pm

Hmm, maybe I should get a badger myself though I am not sure my dachsund Sassy would approve.

101 Rebecca 01.16.08 at 8:09 pm

This is part of the YouTube description of the video:
The otter cub in the video was an orphan that was placed in a group of badger orphans whilst being hand reared. Once the hand rearing had been finished, the group were split up so that the badgers could learn how to do badger things, and the otter could learn how to do otter things!

First, I must start using “whilst” more often. Second, what do you thing “badger and otter things” are?

102 Nici 01.16.08 at 9:24 pm

Awww… It’s like Redwall!
*Wantsa pet ‘em*

103 W 01.16.08 at 10:11 pm

Go Badgers!!! Go Wisconsin!!!

104 Emmerly 01.16.08 at 10:26 pm

I don’t know what otter things are, but I believe badger things include being poked with spoons.

105 Cockatoo 01.16.08 at 10:30 pm

Pleeze, pleeze, we neeeeed a video (WITH sound) of these bebehs sleeping together! Can you imagine the li’l squeaky snores and wheezes? It’d float me away on a floofy cloud of qte!

106 Arachnophile 01.16.08 at 10:30 pm

LOL – you wouldn’t try this with a N.A. badger…

“This is pan-mustelid insanity. Once the World of Weasels cements its internal alliances, WE ARE TOAST.” TOO FUNNY Autumn!

107 Julie 01.16.08 at 11:06 pm

Ok, I always wondered about the badger/mushroom thing, thanks for the link, MH. That’s just gratuitously silly. I henceforth revert to poking badgers with spoons.

108 Electricia 01.16.08 at 11:13 pm

Not only is the cuteness qua cuteness nearly TOO MUCH to handle, my husband and I are known among some of our friends as the badger (him) and the otter (me). One of our friends even drew a picture for our wedding a few months ago of a badger and an otter getting married. (It’s online here!http://www.flickr.com/photos/kirinqueen/1262674001/)

Needless to say, this just about keeeeeeeeled us. Keeled us ded.

109 LesbianNeoCon 01.16.08 at 11:27 pm

Is there a doctor in the house??? I may just pass-out from this XCO (Xtreme Cute Overload!!!). Smelling salts!! Anyone???

110 mandykw 01.17.08 at 12:05 am

I always heard that badgers were mean, I never knew how unbeleefably cute they are! The squeaking killlled me. Badger and otter BFF = overload of the qte

111 charliewabba 01.17.08 at 1:04 am

@Rebecca – I’m not sure, but I think otter things are sort of evil, and involve belly dancing.

112 Rita B 01.17.08 at 2:01 am

I wonder if Badger-ish and Otter-ese are closely related romance languages like Spanish and Portugese…It seems as tho language is no barrier for their love! MWWAAAH!

113 Jennie Mello 01.17.08 at 3:44 am

One warm, spring afternoon, Badger went out for a walk. It was spring, and all the earth was aglow with new life. Badger was feeling especially happy, and he sang his happy little song as he wandered along. Then he met his good friend, Otter.
“Hullo, Otter. How are you this fine day?”
“Very well, thank you, my dear Badg. Shall we go for a romp?” replied Otter.
Then the two friends proceeded to romp around until they were quite spent.

114 Diana 01.17.08 at 5:27 am

Is it just me or is that otter looking to be more than just “friends”?

115 Subhangi 01.17.08 at 6:07 am

Awww, bebeh badgie and otter! Squeee!

116 Catsandbeer.com 01.17.08 at 9:38 am

was the brown one trying to bone the not-brown one?

117 pb 01.17.08 at 1:54 pm

Hmmm. Very cute. Baby badger. Oh wait, what’s this? Baby otter. Badger and otter. Playing together. Squeaking. What was the name of this site again? Cute something. Oh, that’s right. Cute OVERLOAD. Oh yeah.

*headdesk*
*ded*

118 Kimski 01.17.08 at 3:29 pm

This is one happy thread. All the nuffs must have a holiday around this time of year. ;)

119 Triptaphane 01.17.08 at 5:55 pm

I love how the otter’s all “PIGGY BAAACK! Come on. Piggy back. Lezzgo.”

Nearly crushes the badger’s poor spine, too. XD

120 SarahMonster 01.17.08 at 9:56 pm

Someone needs to make this into a children’s book.

121 Mary (the first) 01.18.08 at 12:50 am

I also thought the one was tryign to be be friends “with benefits” with the other one for a second until I realized they are just babehs playing king-of-the-hill or something. whew.

122 Too Many Maureens 01.18.08 at 2:43 am

HA!

The first thing I thought of was, “This schozzle goes to eleven…”

And then I had to see how many others had the same thought! WHEE!

123 Catsquatch 01.18.08 at 5:40 pm

Ok, I see a new catagory.

“Interspecies Baby Siblings Playing”

Badgers and otters dont normally hang together, if ya know what I mean.

This is just too cool.

124 Sammeh!!!! 01.19.08 at 11:26 pm

OMFG!!!!!! That just SO made my day!!!!!! I sporkin LOOOOOVE otters!!! And now i lorve badgers!!!
