Badgers commonly feed on mice, woodrats, kangaroo rats, ground squirrels and pocket gophers. They also will eat fish, snakes and lizards. Badgers enlarge and dig out burrows in pursuit of prey . Badgers have been observed to plug accessory entrances to burrow systems, presumably to trap prey within the burrow. They also dig into a burrow from the "back entrance" and then lurk in the main entrance, capturing prey as it enters the burrow. The badger is an aggressive animal and has few natural enemies.

Badger Status: British Columbia Red List Badger Taxidea taxus Weight: 6-14 kg; length: 65-90 cm. Badgers are one of the largest members of the weasel family. Stout, shaggy animals with distinctive black and white facial markings and a short tail. Black fur around the eyes and on the side of the snout, and a triangular black patch, surrounded by white fur on the side of the face; grey to brown body fur with lighter undersides. Maximum lifespan is approximately 14 years. Habitat map not available. Special Significance The Badger is at risk in British Columbia because the amount of suitable habitat is small and has been adversely affected by human activity. Key areas of low elevation grasslands and open pine or fir forests have been lost. The small British Columbia population is vulnerable to regional and provincial extirpation. This burrowing mammal may play an important role controlling rodents that cause pasture or cropland damage. The continued survival of Badger populations in British Columbia requires establishment of protected areas, responsible stewardship of ranges used for cattle grazing, appropriate forest management practices, a reduction in the use of rodenticides and an increased understanding of this interesting animal. Distribution In British Columbia, Badgers occur in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, Thompson River, Nicola Valley, and East Kootenay areas; a few Badgers have been noted in the South Cariboo, West Kootenay and eastern Chilcotin. Elevational range within British Columbia is 400 to 1500 metres, and occasionally up to 2400 metres.

Home Watching Wildlife Scotland's Unique Areas Scotland's Wildlife/Species ... Wildcat Adder The adder is Scotland's only poisonous snake but is scarcely dangerous if not aggravated. Adders are identifiable by a dark zig-zag on their backs, but females can be distinguished by their greater length, duller colouring and orange eyes. Adders are often spotted around large stones and boulders, and on open stretches of moorland in summer. They can be hard to spot, given their tendency to avoid humans rather than attack where possible. Top of Page Badger Found in greater numbers in the Lowlands than in the north and west, the badger is a large and instantly recognisable member of the weasel family. A secretive and nocturnal animal, with a distinctive black and white-striped face, the badger breeds in winter and gives birth to cubs in the shelter of its sett in February. In spring and summer, the possibility exists in many localities to join organised sett watches, and to enjoy the quirky behaviour of badger families foraging for food. Top of Page Daubenton's Bat This is a small species of bat, identifiable by its pinkish-brown face and large, furry feet, designed to grab prey from the surface of the water. The bats' preferred habitat is woodland, often close to the water, where colonies can sometimes hold several thousand individuals. In summer they roost here or in house attics while from September to April they hibernate in humid caves, tunnels and cellars. Their diet consists of small flying insects such as mosquitoes, gnats and moths.

BADGER: mighty burrower needs to keep its head down again POWERFULLY built, yet shy and elusive, the badger is an animal which sparks almost as much controversy and debate in the countryside as the fox. Strong claws, big forearms, and a muscular, streamlined body mean the badger is perfectly designed for digging and living unseen underground. Its tendency to exist in large family groups has also added to its ability to thrive despite the urbanisation of much of the country. Badger baiting - where victims are often maimed even before dogs are let at them for 'entertainment' - has long been a scourge. But conservationists have been fighting back and most counties now have groups dedicated to protecting badgers, backed up by police and the RSPCA. Unfortunately, badgers are under threat again from official quarters. Renewed fears about tuberculosis being spread from badgers to cattle recently sounded the death knell for up to 20,000 twilight foraging 'brocks'. Protesters, many of whom think badgers are innocent of the TB charge, are appalled that renewed slaughter of these handsome, hardy creatures has become a feature again of the British countryside.

News Stories Animal Experiments Badger Cruelty European Livestock ... About Naturewatch Badgers Commons Committee provides robust support for Naturewatch's campaign The Environment Audit Committee published its long-awaited report on October 7, and its conclusions and recommendations are refreshingly direct. They effectively provide a ringing endorsement of the issues raised by Naturewatch in their campaign on badger cruelty. The committee start by saying that wildlife crime has not been adequately defined and call on the Government to re-state its commitment to it. They state: We see this refusal to accept wildlife crime as an issue deserving of committed police resources as especially short-sighted given the many links made between wildlife crime and serious and organised crime. [Rec. 4] Wildlife crime must be classified as recordable by the Home Office so that police forces across England and Wales know that sufficient priority needs to be given to tackling wildlife crime and so that they can allocate the necessary resources to this work. We accept that within this classification system there will probably need to be some form of grading of wildlife crimes to reflect the level of gravity of each crime. [Rec. 5] This is almost exactly what Naturewatch is campaigning for.

The Badger by Brandon, age 9 If you see a skunk but it has big claws, it's probably a badger. It might look like something else because there are seven types. By the time you look back it might be gone. They can dig three feet in the ground per minute and in a pond they're good swimmers. They can dig their own tunnels. Badgers are weird because they can see better in dim light than in bright sunlight. Stay away from the badgers when they sharpen their claws. Badgers eat sweet things, fruits, wild berries, plants and meat. Most badgers live in North America. I got my information from THE BADGER by Carl R. Green and William R. Sanford. Badger by Trevor C., age 8 If you see a striped faced creature and he has sharp claws, it might be a badger. The badger sniffs the air for danger because he has a strong sense of smell. He uses his great sense of smell to protect himself against his enemies. Badgers can smell their enemies. The badger eats rats, rabbits, grasshoppers and plants. The badger lives under the ground. The badger digs really fast to make its burrow. The best time to watch badger is in the evening. The badger has 2 layers of fur. I got my information from THE BADGER by Carl R. Green and William R.

WILDLIFE LAW Badger Crime Although badgers are perceived to be one of Britain's best loved animals, the sad truth is that they have been persecuted by man for centuries. Shy creatures, they avoid contact with people and are seldom seen, living in underground setts and only emerging at night to feed. London and its surrounding countryside has its own badger population so crime against the animal is very much a concern of the Metropolitan Police Service. Because they are nocturnal animals, they are particularly vulnerable to disturbance in their setts during the day. Recent years have seen an upsurge in the old practices of badger digging and baiting. Badger baiting is a crime Badger diggers use dogs and spades to get badgers form their setts. The captured badgers are then attacked by dogs for "sport". Even if the badger survives the attack, it is likely to have suffered severe injuries and will ultimately be killed by the diggers. The dogs often receive serious injuries as well. Badger baiting, like cock fighting, used to be a popular spectator sport. It was made illegal n 1835 but probably never died out in some country areas and has become more common in the last 20 years or so. It is a highly organised contest, usually held away from the sett, sometimes in towns or cities like London. At a baiting event spectators bet on the performance of the dogs against the badger, which is often disabled in some way before the baiting to give the dogs a better chance. In some parts of the country the badger population has been almost destroyed by the activities of diggers and baiters.

Badgers live in social groups in underground setts where they sleep during the day, only emerging in the evening. They are shy creatures which avoid contact with people, but although they are seldom seen, badgers live in many places in the countryside surrounding London. For centuries badgers have been victims of persecution by man, and in the old days, badger baiting was a popular spectator sport. It was made illegal in 1835, but never completely died out and has become more common in the last 20 years or so. Badger diggers use dogs and digging equipment to take badgers from their setts. The captured badgers are then attacked by dogs for "sport" whilst the spectators gamble on the performance of the dogs. Large sums of money are often involved and it is usually the case that those involved in badger baiting are also involved in other serious crime, so the money used is often the proceeds of crime.
