With a nickname like “The Badger State,” you’d think Wisconsin would be the badger hot spot of the U.S. I looked forward to someday spotting the state’s namesake animal, and was seriously disappointed when I learned that the badger population is minimal here. The misleading nickname actually refers to mining, a big industry in the state’s early history. Miners popped in and out of holes like badgers. Clever, eh? Not so much. Wisconsin should really be the porcupine state, as their pop. is almost out of control in some areas.

  I didn’t know Wisconsin was the badger state.
  
  But now that I think about it, isn’t the mascot of the University of Wisconsin a badger?

    Yes. “Bucky” is his name.
