That would be seal. Know if you really want to upset people a seal shaving brush would go down a treat

As the animals were being loaded into the Ark, Noah was heard to say, "Badgers? We don't neeeed no stiiinking badgers!"
Good thing he changed his mind.

That would be badger: 1 2 3 4 5

There are also red fox, rabbit, otter, pine marten, and no doubt seal too - in fact, anything furry with a face on it.

I believe they keep spanners, conkers and bits of chalk in them.

Well actually, a friend of mine claims to have a fox hair brush, i have yet to see it!

And just to put some oil on the fire: what about a skunk brush?

Oh Yea, White baby seal fur shaving brush's. Made from the youngest white seal pups. Suffocated in a bag, so as not to stain the hair with blood. I love it. I want one. I know, I'm going to hell for even just thinking such a thing.

This post has gotten funny.

Just about any animal when cornered can turn very aggressive. Ever corner a skunk? or even a large rat? Whats different about badgers is they are naturally very aggressive. They don't need much to get them rilled up.

Well in general you are correct, I wanted to say that dodo's would not be any problem. However wikipedia says that even they would bite crap out of you. (Before they were exterminated by the dutch thank you very much!) And they had feathers.

Feather brush? (I'm sorry this is getting out of control!)

For the record feathered brushes seem like a bad idea! Although they use ostrich feathers to remove dust from BMW chassis in the factory (and that is a true story) because they are the softest. Hmmm Anyone with some left-over ostrich feather?

Probably the only animal more ornery than a badger is an African water Buffalo. if one is unhappy with you they will stare at you like someone you owe money to and has come to collect. Once they go after you they never stop or give up. There is a true story of a guy who was chased up a tree by one with just his feet hanging down. Once the critter realized he couldn't knock the tree down he started licking the guys feet until the critters sandpaper like tongue tore his shoes off and his skin and the guy bled until he fell out of the tree and then the critter stomped him to death. That took hours to do.

Yes I heard this story too. Then what happened, they shot it.

And that's the end of the gnus, and here is the weather forecast...
