The badger, which is the subject of this study, belongs to the Mustelidae family, which constitutes a small group of the order Rodentia (Demirsoy, 1992). Although various studies on the pancreas of the laboratory animals; rat (Bertelli et al., 1994; Bock et al., 1997; De Clercq et al., 1998; Elayat et al., 1995; El-Naggar et al., 1993), mouse (Yukawa et al., 1999), hamster (Takahashi et al., 1977), and the other animals like cat (Bock et al., loc. cit.) dog (Redecker et al., 1992), hyena (Endo et al., 1997) have been well documented, no work on the pancreas of the badgers has been reported in the literature. In this work the badger pancreas was studied macroscopically and by light microscopy.
