    Extractions: Our Badgers O n our first night in our new home, we had a full moon. As I looked out, I saw a shadowy grey shape on the lawn. It did not take long to realise that it was a badger. I have always wanted to live somewhere where wild creatures would be free to visit whenever they pleased. Since that night, I have been putting out scraps of food and making peanut butter sandwiches for them. I read somewhere that badgers like peanut butter and found this to be true. Not only that but foxes like them, too! We now have as many as nine badgers that appear from time to time. We have never seen more than five at any one time but, as we are beginning to recognise them, we know that there are more. Their set is about 500 metres away from us. O ur badgers come right up the steps of the patio to eat any food that has been left out for them. They don't mind the lights but are aware of any movement or noise from inside the lounge. T his is a picture of one of our badgers. It is a particularly grey one. We have one, called Charlie Brown, who has a distinct browny shade.

Contact News Protected sett attacked by badger diggers (23/03/2004) The lengths to which some badger diggers will go to harm badgers has been dramatically illustrated by a recent attack on a specially protected sett in the Wakefield area. One of the greatest threats facing badgers in many parts of Yorkshire is badger digging and baiting. The Wakefield Badger Group has therefore built numerous artificial setts to protect local badgers against such attacks. Various materials have been used to construct the setts, including heavy-duty plastic pipes for the tunnels and breeze-blocks and paving slabs for the chambers. The Badger Group's artificial setts are usually impenetrable, but in mid March the Group found a severely damaged artificial sett in one of the District's favourite countryside spots. The group's Field Officer said: "The diggers have gone to great lengths to break in to the sett. An attempt to penetrate the pipe was abandoned but they eventually smashed their way right into the chamber. The sett is now wide open. We will be repairing the sett as soon as possible because we know from experience that they will be back to have another dig." Although badgers had been using this sett since it's construction it was only in recent months that activity had increased, much to the delight of group members. The matter is now being investigated by the police and a rigorous programme of sett checking has been instigated. A joint operation with Wakefield Council's Countryside Service is being planned to repair and protect the sett.

    Extractions: SEARCH Badgers are found throughout England, Wales and Scotland, but the countryside of Wales and its relatively mild climate suit them particularly well. They particularly favour wooded areas with grassland alongside, and this makes West Wales in particular a very good place to go if you hope to see a badger in the wild. Badgers vary greatly in size, with an adult head and body length of 60 to 90 cm; they weight between 7 and 24 kg. Most of the daytime, badgers remain underground, either in natural crevices or, most commonly, in tunnels, called setts, which they excavate. Several families of badgers may share such a home. A badger sett comprises a complex system of tunnels, often twenty metres long and as deep as three metres below the surface. Where their tunnels are only shallow, they sometimes push rocks up above the surface, and harvesting machinery is sometimes damaged as a result of the rotating blades or drums hitting rocks hidden among the corn. Although badgers eat worms, frogs, birds' eggs, and small mammals and even carrion, they also forage for roots and berries. Because their diet it so varied, badgers do not need to travel great distances when out on their nocturnal feeding forays, and it is rare for them to go more than a few kilometres from their home.

    Extractions: Source:USFWS/Tupper Ansel Blake Scientific Name: Taxidea taxus Family: Mustelidae (Weasel Family) Size: The body of an American badger is approximately 28 inches in length. Adults weigh between 12 and 24 pounds. Description: The American badger has a shaggy coat with silver to grey coloration. The head is darker in color and has a white stripe that may extend down the back. This badger has powerful, short legs and long claws. The bushy tail is relatively short and may have yellow coloring. The legs are black. Diet: The American badger feeds on small mammals including ground squirrels, gophers, rats, mice, and chipmunks. The badger may also eat birds, eggs, reptiles, and invertebrates (such as insects and earthworms). Habitat: The American badger lives in open grassland habitats, shrubby areas, and forests. They require dry, loose soils for burrowing and shelter. In GGNRA, badgers are not frequently encountered. They may inhabit Olema Valley, Tennessee Valley, Bolinas Ridge, and parts of the Marin Headlands. Status: The North American badger is not currently a special status species.

    Extractions: Badgers are easy to identify. They have a greyish body, dark haired legs and underparts and a white head with a dark stripe over the eye on both sides. The average length of an adult badger is 69 - 71 cm., making it one of the larger wild animals in Britain. Badgers are powerfully built with short but very strong limbs and sharp clawed feet. The small head, short neck, long wedge shaped body, and a very short tail make badgers excellent diggers, able to move heavy material in confined spaces. They have poor eyesight as they are nocturnal and most of their time is spent underground in their setts, however their poor eyesight is compensated for by their acute hearing and excellent sense of smell. Badgers are very heavy for their size. Their weight changes frequently depending on the food available in their area, and also on the time of year. On average an adult badger will weigh between 6.5 and 13.9 kilograms. HABITAT

    Extractions: 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.

Employment November 8th 2003 University of California - Davis A UC Davis professor is co-author of a report released in Great Britain that says the controversial practice of killing wild badgers to prevent tuberculosis in cattle apparently does no good and may make matters worse. Rosie Woodroffe, UC Davis assistant professor of conservation biology, is an authority on the biology of the European badger ( Meles meles ). The new report, commissioned by the British Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), is sure to be widely discussed in the UK, particularly by farming interests and badger protectionists. Those groups have battled for 30 years over the role that wild badgers may play as reservoirs and vectors of bovine tuberculosis, which can be transmitted through unpasteurized milk to people. "
