Video of Badgers, UK wild badgers at the sett (Meles meles)

[@jamesbensonphillips]

Thanks for the background music. The sound of nature and birds and all was really doing my head in.

[@catlover5654]

With its striking black and white striped head, the badger (Meles meles) is one of our most instantly recognisable mammals. The rest of the stocky body appears grey, and the legs, throat, neck, chest and belly are black. The tail is a whitish colour, but can be darker. Males and females are generally similar in appearance, although females tend to be slightly smaller in size.

Badgers are fantastic animals.

[@piggyoinkoink6352]

Before the fox came and wowed the Internet with "Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho" and "Ringding-dingerding", the memes were ruled by the Badgers. _Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!_

What's with the 80s porn music?

[@dianehuddle3003]

Beautiful!

[@foxandmore]

It looks like a juvenile bagder. Very nice video.

[@DigitalSapient]

Badgers are considered a mystical animal and are tokens of prosperity and wealth. They are also very family oriented.

[@snotmale]

The equivalent of standing at the garden gate taking in the local comings and goings and then then rushing indoors for a cuppa!

[@helensutters6787]

I feed them regley and they had lots of baby's and get them every year been taking pitchers up close x

[@dianehuddle3003]

They are not vicious and the cull is cruel.

[@seafisherman80]

[@brianblueboy4786]

How would you know about 80s porn keep badgers safe

[@markchaplin196]

What do badgers eat during the winter if the ground is frozen or covered in snow?

[@chrisstephens6673]

In my garden they eat peanuts and dog food all year round.

Children

[@mangoswiss]

@marC1484 LOL! Is this a serious question? Go pick one up and find out.

[@FlowersInHisHair]

Hey, not all of us Brits want badgers to be culled, you know!

[@simonjimenez4663]

Yes all of them must be wiped out

[@jacko8603]

badger badger badger badger.. mushromm mushroom

[@PinkShirtz]

Cute

[@PinkShirtz]

English equivalent of a wombat sort of i guess :) they are definitely cool

[@bettybreeze78]

Why would you need to upset one? UK badgers live in close family groups and are shy and secretive. If you were cornered you would surely defend yourself!

[@wertye23]

@mangoswiss did you know that supposaly if you raise a honey badger from a baby it can be a pet? still wouldnt recommend it though. lol

[@mangoswiss]

@marC1484 Just realised that you might not be an adult. Badgers are pretty dangerpus animals. They're very aggressive and have razor sharp teeth and claws. Don't be fooled by their cuddly looks.

[@chrisstephens6673]

Slight correction, they would much rather run away than be aggressive, unless cornered. I feel quite safe hand feeding mine and have even stroked one.

[@dominickelly6259]

243 straight between the eyes, then it becomes a good badger

[@MrKottsson]

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT IT!

[@nialllyons94]

lets go badger baiting!!!!
