| Notes: | This page confirms that the Eurasian badger was originally described by Linnaeus in 1758 and named as Ursus meles. It also states that some authorities consider the subspecies Meles meles anakuma to be a full species. At one time the page stated that the Chinese names for this species were gou-huan or huan-zi, but that information is no longer shown. |
