The Northern Hemisphere is home to the golden eagle, or Aquila chrysaetos. It is the eagle species that is most widely distributed. It is a member of the Accipitridae family, like all eagles. They rank among the most well-known raptors in the Northern Hemisphere. These birds have golden-brown feathers on their napes and dark brown bodies. Golden eagles hunt a variety of prey, primarily hares, rabbits, marmots, and other ground squirrels, using their agility, speed, strong feet, and enormous, pointed talons.

Immature badgers are sometimes attacked by large birds of prey like the golden eagle. An adult American badger will prevail if the two of them engage in the quest. A juvenile badger could, however, become the eagle's meal. So, one of the predators of badgers that eat badgers is the golden eagle.

Compared to the golden eagle, an adult American badger is far more resilient and its body can withstand harm. The badger belongs to a family of animals called mustelids, which are tough animals for their size. Golden eagles can badger, but only under specific conditions. One adult badger could be killed by two golden eagles, but it would take two eagles to kill a young badger. This is due to badgers' adaptable forearms, which allow them to defend themselves from above. Additionally, as was already indicated, their thick coats make it challenging for the eagle to puncture them with its claws.

A wolf species in the Canidae family is the timber wolf. North America is the home of this species. Eastern North America has been home to it since the Pleistocene. It appears to be closely related to the red wolf.

Badgers are not typically killed by timber wolves. In circumstances and locations when the other prey animals are scarce, they eat the latter. When badgers go far from their burrows, wolves typically prey on them. This predator (timber wolf) may also kill them at their setts when they are reproducing.

At a sett, Timber-Wolves wait for the badger before striking quickly. In these situations, the badger has no chance to flee and is typically killed. However, this might not always be the case. When an adult badger and a young wolf are involved, the badger might hang in there and not run away.

A young wolf wouldn't attack the badger or risk getting hurt even if it came close to it. Additionally, a severe wound in warm weather might be lethal for the wolf.

The largest land-dwelling member of the Mustelidae family is the wolverine, also known as the glutton, carcajou, or quick hatch. It is a strong carnivore that lives alone. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength that are out of proportion to its size, and it has been shown to be capable of taking down prey that is several times its own size. You might be asking if the wolverine could kill the badger, and if the badger even has the tools to kill a wolverine in this situation.

The arsenal of a wolverine is fearsome, but it is not superior to that of a lion, a leopard, or a hyena. The Wolverine has strong jaws and teeth, but the badger's hide would be extremely difficult for it to penetrate. Hours would pass, and the wolverine would eventually run out of energy to fight the battling badger, which would not let up until it was dead.

Furthermore, although being smaller than wolverine fangs, badger teeth may easily pierce the latter's hide. The wolverine, however, could not be killed by the badger just by biting it. One of the predators of badgers that eat badgers is the wolverine, there's a danger the wolverine will bite the badger's throat and suffocate it. However, given the badger's loose, thick hide, this is quite unlikely. The wolverine would either bleed to death from the badger ripping off its genitalia, or both animals would die from lengthy mutual mutilation.

The cheetah is a big cat that is indigenous to central Iran and Africa. According to estimates, it can run at speeds between 80 and 128 km/h, making it the fastest terrestrial animal. Cheetah activity peaks at dawn and dusk but is constant throughout the day. It likes medium-sized ungulates like impala, springbok, and Thomson's gazelles and feeds on small- to medium-sized prey, most commonly weighing under 40 kg (88 lb). The cheetah normally stalks its victim up to a distance of 60 to 70 meters (200 to 230 feet), then charges at it, trips it while pursuing it, and bites its throat to suffocate it.

A cheetah might kill a badger since they are strong, swift, and have a lethal bite. They may, however, avoid an animal (a badger) that poses a threat to their faces and eyes and isn't fleeing. In addition, a cheetah is more cautious and has weaker jaws.
