Badgers Quote by Tara K. Harper
““Badgers swarm out of the sand; Talk and walk, don't run or stand. Pritaries bite and bite again; Kick and shout and run like wind." Payne checked the small clock again. "Aye," he cut in. "Black Wolf never did get that last verse right. What she should have said was, 'Pritaries like to bite your ass; best to run away real fast.””

![“[Leafpool] waved her tail in greeting as she padded past Cloudtail and Daisy; as she left the clearing she heard Cloudtail meowing, "This time try to pretend I'm a badger and I'm going to eat your kits." "But my kits really like you," Daisy protested.” quote by Erin Hunter](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/837/erin-hunter-787_badgers_leafpool-waved-her-tail-in-greeting-as-s_743869.jpg)
