I know you were expecting something else.

And yes, that’s an American badger.

It really looks like they are playing. Amazing.

  I think it’s a tame badger, and they are playing together.

I hate it that the person doing the video, and apparently the “owner” of the badger, doesn’t understand the badger is digging a den as a way to try to burrow to safety.

While the “owner” of the badger thinks it is all happy and frolic, the badger tries to dig a den because it is a badger and digging dens is a way to protect itself from non-burrowing carnivores.

Badgers dig as a way to protect themselves from what they consider threatening.

After watching the with the dogs, the cat and the badger played together, they’d be unlikely friends. You know, different species becoming friends.
