This requires a little explanation, there are actually two badgers in this image, the baby and mum who is largely hidden as she is digging a new bedroom.
Taken in Kheai community, Botswana.

Ken,

nice action and the pose of the animal is really funny and yes I found the youngster enlightened

Have you tried setups with a bit longer shutter times to get some blurring of the action ?

Without your explanation, I would not have known what all the dirt being kicked up was all about!  The youngster looks darn relaxed with that much work going on.
