we have a very clever badger in Northern Spain perhaps his relatives also did the cave paintings in Northern spain

"Not many know, but northern Spain, particularly Asturias and Cantabria, is home to some of the best examples of Palaeolithic cave art in the world. Theses caves have been inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites because of their importance and date from 35,000 to 11,000 B.C. Here are some of the most magnificent places to view cave art in Northern Spain."


or even those were his wages for doing the paintings   :suicide:

Knowing the Spanish, they probably caught the badger, killed it, ate t, and will now have a fiesta every year in it’s memory!

When I was a stand up comedian, I wanted to tell a joke about a giant badger, but it was too big for my set.
