Kiddo and I came across this den while exploring our property in Junction, TX and wondered what made such a place. Obviously, I wasn't planning on just sticking my hand in there and rummaging around, so I bring it to the expertise of the board.

Anyone know what kind of animal made this den?

Diameter around 10 inches.

Yep, saw same hole in Riviera, saw the Badger. Look for other holes, there will be more than one.

Could be a skunk

I used to see these things all the time as a kid and had no idea what they were. We were just told they were coyote holes. I never thought much more about it. Would be curious what actually makes them.

Armadillos make burrows like that.

This, we had holes like this all over our property and I've never seen a badger, most likely just Dillo's digging holes all over your place.. If you chase a dillo they will run into their holes … kind of like meerkats houses, they are everywhere

put a flat set a few inches in front and you'll more than likely find out

Too small
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

We'v got a bunch of similar holes in Duval Co.

I figured they were from skunks or badgers. Larger holes maybe yotes. We've seen only one dillo on the property in four years. Might be high time to put a game cam over one of them.

I've got armadillos and I've got holes like that.

No badgers in my hard that I've seen.
