Wildlife SOS Badgers Images © Wildlife Aid 2004 Injuries Despite their cuddly appearance, badgers are dangerous animals and have a powerful bite. All you can do is call your local rescue centre and keep an eye on it, especially if it starts to crawl away. Do not try to pick it up! Even the smallest badger cub can have a powerful bite, so keep clear from the dangerous end! If you can, cover it with a blanket, contain it in some way and stay there until help arrives. Badger cubs If it is very small, it is possible that the cub may have been orphaned - they do not usually stray far from their sett unless something is wrong. Put down some water and cat food (not a fish variety) if possible - it may be very hungry and desperate for food. If the cub is big enough to have been weaned, there may be nothing to worry about, but please watch to see if a parent comes looking for it for the cub. In either event, call your local rescue centre who will be able to advise you as to the best course of action. Injured cubs Unless very small, even cubs can give a very nasty bite if they feel threatened. Only attempt to pick it up if you can wrap it up in a blanket and put it into a strong cat carrier. Extreme caution and thick gloves will be needed! The best course of action is to wait for an expert to come and collect the cub for you.

Home About Us Appeals News ... Link to Us BADGER FACT SHEET Badgers are members of the mustelid group of carnivores, which include stoats, skunks and otters. Badgers are present on all continents except Antarctica and Australasia. There are nine species of badger. Most species have the characteristic colour pattern of black and white, especially on the head. Despite these similarities, the species are not very closely related and most are included in their own genus. The word badger is thought to originate from the French becheur which can be translated as a digger or gardener - quite apt for a group of animals which spend most of their time digging for worms. All badgers dig burrows, though it is the Eurasian badger which have the most complex and ancient setts. The Eurasian Badger The badger that lives in Britain is the Eurasian badger, Meles meles.

Farmers Restoring Wildlife Habitat - Badgers and Tallgrass Prairie Prepared by Nancy Tilt for the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association March 12, 2002 Doug McGee, a cash crop farmer in Lambton County, is actively involved in tallgrass prairie restoration through the Rural Lambton Stewardship Network (RLSN). McGee, along with his brother, Dave, have dedicated about 10 acres of their own land to prairie restoration, so far, and plan to designate another four this year. They have planted odd corners of fields, strips adjacent to woodlot edges, buffer strips along watercourses and portions of bottomlands. The Ontario Soil and Crop Association is reporting on this as part of an Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) communication initiative about wildlife on the farm. When asked about the motivating force behind his commitment, Doug responds, "I want to put something back into the land that will benefit future generations. Restoring some tallgrass prairie, and the wildlife habitat that goes with it, is one way of doing that." The badger is the mascot for Tallgrass Ontario, a network of organizations and individuals dedicated to prairie restoration. Why the badger? Ron Gould, Species-at-Risk Biologist with the Aylmer MNR office, explains, "The badger is a top predator in the prairie ecosystem. If its population is healthy, then you know the whole ecosystem is healthy. Our southwestern Ontario badger population is in trouble. We estimate it at less than 100. A sustainable population would require about 500 individuals."
