This badger has a silvery back (black and white fur mixed), and the white fur continues onto its scalp. However the face, throat, belly and sides are black.
It could probably make a very handsome long sporran using mainly the back fur.

A honey badger or wolverine FM would be a statement. These 2 are in the lead for animals with the worst attitude. I've watched wolverine steal kills from wolves and bears and then fight them when they try to get it back. Talk about sporting a macho animal with oversized (metaphorical) cojones, it would be like the lion warriors of the Zulu.
