Bald as a BADGER.

The phrase bald as badger" now
falling into disuse, arose from the mis-
take of some of the old writer's on
natural history, who mistook the soft
white hair on the forehead of a badg

was made in clubbing the magnificent
wheat-headed eagle (aquilla heliaca)
the bald-headed eagle. The skin Of
the badger is by no means as white as
a badgers head.
