Man and packs of dogs are the chief predators of badgers in Indiana, but coyotes may take a few young each spring. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS This husky member of the weasel family is specialized for digging. Built close to the ground, they weigh up to 40 pounds and can reach 35 inches in length, including the tail. Their overall color is silver-gray, but they have a distinctive, narrow, white stripe running from the nose over the top of the head. Cheeks are white with a black patch in front of short, erect ears. The fur is short, coarse and not of much value. Badger hair bristles, once used in shaving brushes, have now been replaced by man-made fibers. FAMILY LIFE Badgers mate in the fall, but the young do not start developing within the mother's body until February. During winter, badgers spend long periods underground. In early spring, a litter of two to five young are born in a grass-lined burrow. The young are weaned when they are half-grown. At this time, they begin to venture outside the underground home on hunting trips. In the fall, after the young have learned to hunt for themselves, the family separates and the animals become rather solitary. Their life expectancy in the wild is unknown, but they have lived 13 years in captivity.

42. Badger Badgers are well protected from most predators by a thick hide and generallyunpleasant disposition. LIVING WITH wildlife IN THE FOOTHILLS. http://wildlife.state.co.us/Education/mammalsguide/badger.asp

Personalize this site BADGER W ith their flattened, oval shape, abundant grizzled brownish fur, distinctive white stripe on the forehead (sometimes continuing down the back) and powerful build, badgers are easily identified. They are the "bulldozer" of the weasel family. Large front claws suggest a capable burrower. The face is black with pale marks, the feet are black and the belly is pale. Total length is 28 – 32 inches, the short tail only 4 – 6 inches long. Weights range from 11 to 22 pounds. B B adgers eat mostly burrowing rodents, such as ground squirrels and pocket gophers, which they dig up during evening or early morning. They also eat nestling birds and rabbits, as well as insects. When frozen ground protects burrowing rodents from attack, badgers turn to mice. In especially cold weather they may simply retreat to their burrow to sleep. B adgers mate in late summer. Embryo implantation is delayed until about February. One to four young are born in early spring. They grow quickly and leave their mothers during their first autumn. They first breed first as yearlings. B adgers are well protected from most predators by a thick hide and generally unpleasant disposition. Some are killed for fur, but habitat loss and vehicular accidents probably are greater causes of mortality.

They took MDP and Home Office students through an extensive range of practical and theoretical procedures, with the help of local farmer, Mr Butler who lent us his fields for use as a training area. Scenarios ranged from poisoned birds eggs —used to attract birds of prey, badger setts being gassed by ‘mistake’ for rabbits, to the illegal snaring of foxes. Students needed to identify the problems, bag the evidence and submit reports —taking into account the necessary Health and Safety procedures. Mr Paul Kite, the Chairman of the National Federation of Badger Groups, delivered a passionate lecture on the problems facing the badger and the law protecting them. He has experience of dealing with the MOD Police, particularly Paul Rogers and Paul Glover, APT Colchester, over badger related problems at Fingeringhoe Ranges.

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. Sanford.

Wildlife of Cornwall, from Badgers to Seals Badgers at dusk taken with a 600mm lens a photocollage Badgers and other animals The badger is widespread throughout Cornwall, from exposed cliff tops to wooded valleys, but being largely nocturnal is seldom seen unless you make the effort to do so. Dusk is a good time for badger watching, as they emerge from their days slumber to begin a night foraging for food. In summer you may even be lucky enough to see several families of cubs playing together. The Forestry Commission arrange organised badger watching nights but demand always exceeds supply. Other animals that can be seen in Cornwall include the Red Deer , common in the woods along the county border, and the fox . Scarcer are the weasel and stoat. Making a come back to Cornish Rivers is the Otter, but consider yourself very lucky indeed to see one. A one eyed seal, Newlyn Harbour Seals There is a healthy population of over 1000 Atlantic Grey Seals living around the coast of Cornwall and the isle of Scilly. Pups are born in the Autumn making them vulnerable to the Winter storms. They are often left alone on the beach by their mother when she goes to sea looking for food. Sometimes misguided , but well intentioned humans, seeing the helpless but beautiful furry white pup think its abandoned and try and 'rescue' the poor animal , leaving centres like the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek to rear the animal if they are unable to locate its mother. Apart from well known seal haunts like Seal Island just down the coast from St Ives, you are likely to see the odd animal bobbing up and down, a few yards off shore as they size you up, or porpoising across a bay to reach the next rock headland. Occasionally seals venture into Looe and Newlyn Harbours looking for discarded fish.

Top of page Badger Gates We provide some of the best badger gates available. Made from oak, they exceed the specifications suggested by Defra, and provide a reliable means of allowing badgers to pass through fences, while effectively blocking the passage of rabbits, deer, and other unwanted wildlife. This avoids the problem of badgers digging under fences and allowing other wildlife through, as badgers will always try to continue to use their paths, even when they are blocked. Our gate frames are constructed from 50 x 50 mm green oak, fastened with 100 mm galvanised screws. The gate itself is a solid piece of 200 x 250 mm green oak, swinging freely from hinge-pins which pass through the frame. The frame has pointed 'feet' for easy positioning in the ground. We also supply gates for excluding badgers from their setts (this can only be done under licence, as disturbing a badger sett is an offence under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992).

Home Writing Photo Gallery About Writing Ireland's Wildlife: Badger Writing Homepage Published Work Writing Services Current Projects ... Clients The following article is one of a weekly series on Ireland's wildlife commissioned for the popular national general interest magazine, Ireland's Own. It appeared in the 21 November 2003 issue. Go Back Badger ( Meles meles by Calvin Jones The Badger is the largest Irish member of the mustelid or weasel family and is one of our most distinctive mammals. Its stocky body, short, powerful limbs and striking black-and-white head markings make the badger unmistakeable. Adult badgers are typically 65-80 cm (25-32 inches) long and weigh between 8 and 12 kilos (17 and 27 pound). Badgers are found throughout Ireland, although because they are primarily active at night they are rarely seen. They live in family groups or clans of up to twelve individuals that occupy a large network of underground tunnels and chambers known as a sett. Badgers are clean animals: they regularly change the bedding in their sleeping chambers and have been observed bringing bedding to the surface to "air" before taking it back underground again. At dusk the clan will emerge from the sett to forage over a shared territory of between 125 and 375 acres. They are true omnivores and will eat a huge variety of food including invertebrates, small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, carrion, vegetables, fruit and even cereals. Their favourite food, however, is earthworms, and a badger can devour up to 200 of them in a single night.

60. Sussex Wildlife Trust Policy Statements and will not grant permission to the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food toenter Sussex wildlife Trust owned nature reserves to carry out badger culling http://www.sussexwt.org.uk/badger_tb.htm

Position statement on badger culling and bovine tuberculosis in cattle Badgers are a well-known symbol of the British countryside. They tend to be most common in the sort of countryside that many people find attractive and have public resonance as indicators of a healthy, functioning countryside. It is for this reason that they are the logo of the Wildlife Trusts. There is a suspected link between bovine tuberculosis in cattle and badgers. In spite of the fact that years of culling have not reduced TB this link is still suspected. The Krebs report now proposes a large-scale experiment that aims to establish whether there is any link. In this three types of trial area will be compared, one where no culling takes place, one where culling takes place on request from farmers and one where all badgers are killed. The experiment would run for 5 years. The government has accepted this proposal and a trial has started in the West Country. No trial culls are in operation in East or West Sussex at present, but the SWT has major concerns about the experiment and has adopted the following policy:
