## Summary

</div>
The Tayra is the Caldari bulk transport. Compared with the other factions' bulk transports, the Tayra has a strong tank (although all bulk transports are fragile) and a good base cargohold size. However, once you have trained higher levels of the respective Hauler skill, and considering the Tayra's limited number of low slots, the other bulk transports start to outperform the Tayra in terms of pure cargo capacity.

## Notes

</div>
Visually, the Tayra seems to share the chassis and propulsion unit with the Badger, with a much larger cargo hold that extends forward. They also share the same launcher and turret hardpoints. Its variant, the Bustard, seems to have additional components to the rear, as well as a different painting scheme, perhaps to house the necessary modules for cloaking.

Tayras are thin, sinuous, weasel-like animals found in central and south America. The Tayra is a species within the Mustelidae family, making it a fairly close relative of the Badger.

Before the Odyssey 1.1 (summer 2013) patch, the Tayra was known as the "Badger Mark II".
