Living Nature Badger

Specimen notes: the stripes are the point, and Living Nature have got them right — a low, broad, night-shaped animal. Britain's largest surviving carnivore, catalogued at last, and rather better behaved than the wild sort.

What the Society noted

Fern

The low, broad, wedge build is right, and so are the face stripes — they run to the nose for a reason, the clearest night-signal in a British wood. You hear a badger long before you see one; this is the closest most of us get.

Wonders of the real world

The real European badger

The badger is the largest land predator in the UK.

An adult badger can eat over 200 earthworms in a night.

Some badger setts are more than 100 years old.
