BADGER
Taxidea taxus
Description
The Badger is a very robust and stocky animal with a short, bushy tail. It has a comical walk since it has to swagger or waddle because of its short legs and broad body. It has long, shaggy fur with a very distinctive white stripe that extends from its nose to its shoulders. The badger's black feet each have five toes, and the front feet have long, thick claws an inch or more in length. Badgers have small eyes and ears and a slightly pointed nose. Their keen sense of smell is second only to that of members of the dog family. Although they look cute and shy, badgers are ferocious fighters that should not be disturbed. They will growl, snarl and emit an unsavory musk scent if provoked.
Life History
Badgers are fossorial animals, which means they burrow underground. When excavating, badgers use their long, thick front claws to break fresh ground while their back legs kick out the excess dirt. They are known to dig faster than any mammal, including a man with a shovel. Badgers primarily eat small mammals such as ground squirrels, pocket gophers, prairie dogs and cottontail rabbits, but they also will consume birds, invertebrates and carrion. Badgers also eat rattlesnakes and, lucky for them, they are unaffected by the snake's venom unless they are struck on the nose. While hunting burrowing animals, badgers are occasionally out-maneuvered by "wily" coyotes. As badgers dig after rodents, coyotes will wait and snatch the escaping prey above ground, leaving badgers with just a glimpse of what might have been for dinner.

BADGER-WATCH Offer a secluded self-catering holiday amongst badgers, birds, foxes and other wildlife, near the Cotswold's At College Barn Farm, Sibford Gower, Banbury, Oxfordshire The peanut butter sandwich badger The original photograph was taken by Mr. Roberts from our main hide in 1998 Our objective:- We have a conservation project which started in 1987 at College Barn Farm. The project includes planting trees and shrubs as well as encouraging and, as far as possible, protecting and preserving the resident wildlife . We and all of our visitors (wildlife enthusiasts) protect the College Barn Farm badgers by observing the setts daily and the badgers most evenings by floodlight. Our aim is to establish a twelve-acre wildlife area containing as many different varieties of trees and wildlife as possible, with our badger setts and three ponds included within this area. To enable this project to proceed as fast as possible, we have established accommodation and other facilities for our visitors. Any profit from the accommodation is reinvested back into the conservation project. We offer you the opportunity to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing holiday in a secluded, modern mobile home in the heart of the countryside where you can watch nearby badgers by floodlight from a choice of two hides at night. During the day there are many other varieties of wildlife to observe at

AFRICAN SAFARI HABITATS SOUTHERN AFRICA WILD ANIMAL PARKS WILDLIFE SAFARI SEASONS AFRICAN ANIMALS ... HOME HONEY BADGER - Millivora capensis SIZE: Length (with tail) 95 cm, mass 12 kg.
COLOUR: Black, except for the broad, white or silver-grey saddle that runs over the whole of the back from above the eyes to the root of the tail. On either side there is a narrow slightly whiter border which separates the saddle from the black flanks and underparts.
GESTATION PERIOD: 6 months
POTENTIAL LONGEVITY: 24 years
MOST LIKE: Could possibly be confused with the Civet. The honey badger has no blotches, stripes or spots.
HABITAT: Almost every type of terrain except true desert, and from sea level to at least 1 500 m. They are generally solitary, but two or more may move and hunt together. Usually two young are born. It is adept at digging and rooting out prey from underground nests. They have been seen foraging for estivating tortoises, turtles, frogs, fish, and any animals taking advantage of abandoned termite mounds, such as snakes, lizards and mongooses. A Honey Badger cannot pass a hole or cavity without exploring it, using its sense of smell, but also the Aardvark trick of blowing into it and listening for a response. They will also feed upon berries, fruit, carrion, and have been observed scaling trees to raid the nests of vultures.

Badger
Taxidea taxus Description - This stout, shaggy animal is the largest of the weasel family with only the wolverine exceeding it's size . Its coat is a grizzled grey to brown with a white stripe from upturned snout to shoulder. The tail is short, bushy and yellowish; the cheeks white with dark patches; the ears small and the feet dark with large foreclaws. The male is larger than the female weighing usually 7-25 pounds. Distribution - The badger prefers open plains, farmlands and the edges of woods. They range throughout southeast British Columbia and a studfy in 1990 concluded that only 300-1000 badgers likely occurred. Biology - 2-5 blind young are born in March or April. They feed on squirrels, pocket gophers, rats and mice which they usually capture by digging out their burrows. They also eat birds, invertebrates, and carrion and are fond of rattlesnake; they are apparently unharmed by the venom unless the snake strikes its nose. A very ferocious animal, the badger has few enemies. Its hair is used to make the best quality paintbrushes, and the coarse bristles were formerly used in shaving brushes. Forest succession and encroachment into grasslands is reducing the habitat of the badger, an animal vital in controlling rodent populations.

13. Wildlife Protection
Some wildlife trusts run projects to help otters return to our riverbanks,and they may also arrange bat or badger watching events.
http://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/facts/protect.htm
Wildlife Protection
A great many international conventions, European directives and national laws attempt to protect species of animals and plants, but the degree of protection varies considerably. For instance, laboratory animals are protected from being kept in unsuitable conditions, but not from cruel experiments. On the other hand, it can be illegal to keep certain animals (otters or badgers for example), even if they are dead. Some of the most important of the many Acts of Parliament which refer to animals are: Protection of Animals Act 1911 Protects captive animals from various forms of abuse, and protects wild animals temporarily held in captivity. The RSPCA often uses the Act to prosecute people guilty of cruelty. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES, 1975) This convention makes unregulated trade in certain species unlawful, whether the animals are alive or dead. Tigers, whales, rhinos and pandas are among the animals protected. Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Provides the strongest protection of any British legislation. Species listed in Schedule 5 of the Act are protected from disturbance, injury, intentional destruction or sale. Other provisions outlaw certain methods of taking or killing listed species. This Act amended and strengthened earlier legislation, and is brought up to date regularly to ensure the most endangered animals are on the schedule.

CARING FOR BADGERS

CLINICAL ASSESSMENT
A full history of the badger should be taken on admission and should include details of the badger's movement and behaviour during capture. It is always important to find out the exact location that the badger was found since this would be where the badger would need to be re-released to. Following this, a complete clinical assessment of the animal should occur, paying special attention to the animal's general condition (evidence of chronic disease?), mouth (tooth wear and jaw alignment?), limbs (underworn claws are an indication of failure to dig and live normally) and senses (vision being of particular importance). Examination will only be easy in very young cubs or comatose and moribund animals and therefore it may be necessary in other cases to administer some form of chemical restraint, ideally using either Atipamezole, Diazepam, Propofol or Thiopental or a combination of Ketamine and Medetomidine or Ketamine, Medetomidine and Butorphanol. It is important to think about the possibility of rehabilitation throughout the assessment in terms of for example, whether the animal is at the end of its natural lifespan, whether the injuries would compromise the badger's life in the wild, whether adequate recovery and rehabilitation facilities are available and whether a suitable release site is known.

CARING FOR BADGERS
A step forward - caring for badgers in veterinary practice, an article by Tamsin Joiner Morgan, BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), VN
HABITAT
The Eurasian badger (Meles meles) is the largest and most numerous of Britain's carnivores with a population of about 250,000 (Hart-Davis, 2002). Whilst these mustelids are generally found in the more rural areas of this country, they are very adaptable to suburban areas and therefore populations are seen in most large cities. Badger territories can vary immensely ranging from 30ha to 300ha, the group and territory sizes being largely determined by the quality and distribution of food respectively (Mullineaux, 2003). As a result of this, the death rate can be high in youngsters and therefore it is not common for badgers to reach more than ten years of age in the wild. Badgers live in setts which comprise of a network of underground tunnels and chambers, with up to ten or more entrances. Whilst each badger social group usually has one main sett within its territory, there may also be a variety of additional setts. In these cases, there will be well marked paths between the different sett and main feeding areas and latrines. The badger setts are normally built on well drained soil and have very large entrances of between 30-60cm in diameter (which enables them to be differentiated from those dwellings of foxes and rabbits).

Badgers and their setts are protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 , which makes it illegal to kill, injure or take badgers or to interfere with a badger sett. Interference with a sett includes blocking tunnels or damaging the sett in any way. There is, however, provision within the legislation to allow action to be taken under a licence from the Defra if the problem cannot be resolved by alternative means. The Wildlife Administration Unit administers licence applications for the following purposes:

Badger (Taxidea taxus) The handsome and somewhat portly badger is one of the largest members of the weasel family. It is widespread and common in North America, as long as there is suitable Habitat. Badgers live in open forested areas, or rangeland. In British Columbia, these habitats have been seriously reduced in the era of European settlement, and as a result the Badger is a rare mammal in this province. Fewer than 1,000 Badgers remain here, and they are restricted to the Okanagan Valley, north to Kamloops, and the East Kootenay region.
Badgers spend much of their lives in burrows, which they dig with powerful forepaws and long claws. A female's maternity burrow complex is likely to include a split main tunnel, so two animals can pass, separate chambers for disposal of faeces, and a grass-lined bedding chamber. Badger litters average about two young, and are usually born in April. Like some other weasels, the Badger's reproductive system delays the implantation of the eggs in the uterus.
