Description
European Badger

Although such a familiar species, few people have actually seen this elusive nocturnal mammal in its natural habitat. During the day badgers are inactive, and rest in their setts, complex systems of underground tunnels with nests of dry grass, straw and dead leaves , which are passed on from generation to generation. In certain conditions they may forage during the day, for example during hot summers when food is in short supply. Although they do not hibernate, they do spend a lot of time in the sett during cold spells in winter.
