        Learn About Badgers
        A badger sett is a system of tunnels and nesting chambers lined with bedding such as grass, moss and leaves.
        Cubs are normally born in February, and the average number in a litter is three, although the range can be from one to five.
        Badgers are considered omnivorous, although their diet varies so much in different countries they are also sometimes termed ‘local specialists’.
        Badgers live mainly in woods and copses in extensive underground burrow systems called setts.
        Badgers are shy, nocturnal animals that live in underground chambers connected by a network of tunnels known as a sett.
        Did You Know?
        It has been estimated that up to 50,000 badgers may be killed on our roads each year. If safe to do so, it is worth checking what appears to be a dead badger.
        Snares can do serious damage to skin tissue which is not immediately obvious.
        Badger cubs begin to explore above ground in May, sometimes without mum’s permission!
        Try not to cause the animal alarm, but observe from a distance.
