Fascinating. I didn’t include them in my tough list because I have found exactly the opposite - they move like tree sloths. Fall quickly to ANY round, and rely on their defensive mechanisms (quills) to make up for all their lack of nutz or ferocity. [bleep], I’ve curb-stomped a couple of them to death. In the right attire.
Not Tough. Just seriously problematic. Especially with dogs.

Ermine. Prob not much bigger than a Red squirrel and smaller Than a fat gray. But wayyyyy meaner than either. Tough as nails.take that proverbial ‘Nantucket sleigh ride’ on the backs of critters 4x their body weight. Or more. Mean little things.

I must have gotten lucky with the one badger I found it necessary to terminate.
Some thirty years ago, we were in the yard at my Mom's house and spied a big old badger waddling across the adjoining pasture.
Then I see the old deaf retired red heeler cow dog had winded the badger. The dog was too deaf to call him back. But Mom kept a Glenfield model 60 inside the door to her house. I asked Mom to hand me her rifle and I placed one 40 gr hp just behind the badger's ear from 50 yds, about 2 seconds before the dog got there.
One trip to the vet prevented.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Caught a porcupine in the yard that had been eating the bark on one of our apple trees, all I could get my hands on before he got into the sagebrush was about a 5' long fence board. He was kinda hard to kill but I was determined and successful. Had to kill a rattlesnake the same way one day he almost made it to the brush too. That was some of the reasons I bought the NAA 22LR that has been in my front pocket ever since

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
