Badgers are proper socialites! Unlike many of their mustelid cousins, badgers live in large family groups called clans throughout their life. These usually include a dominant breeding pair and several extended family members. Think of them as the badger version of a bustling countryside commune!

You can't keep a badger from it's favourite food! Sluurp! (Did you know, earthworms are the core of the badger's diet, often by as much as 60%. In a single night, an adult badger may eat well over 200 worms!) 📷Chris - Badger Trust supporter

WALES IS MAKING PROGRESS. DON'T TAKE US BACKWARDS. Bovine TB is falling in Wales without the widespread badger culling seen in England. Wales has taken a different path. Let's keep it that way. KEEP WALES CULL FREE.

Badgers are social creatures and will bond with each other through actions such as grooming, playing or pressing their bottoms onto another badger in order to leave a scent mark on them! Find more facts about badgers on our website: buff.ly/3nb3zdo 📷@tesniward @badger_diaries

The badger can grow up to 1 metre in size and has loosely fitting skin, making it difficult for an antagonist to get a firm grip on the badger in a fight. A thick layer of fat under the skin develops during autumn for the badger to live off fat reserves when going into torpor during winter.
