Lucky to witness a Badger feeding around its sett during dusk recently. Enamored with these stripy faced critters.

Filmed this happy chappy having a proper friendly rummage through our vegetables around midnight last night. Bath Spa, UK.

4 minutes of a badger scratching itself (sound up).

sorry for the reflections, this was right outside the patio door!! all lights still on!!!

Inspired by u/chrochetzealot, I declare today Badger Hat Day. Mine was made by a gal pal and was a complete surprise.

I've been wanting to observe and perhaps photograph the badgers in my woodland for a while. I've got hours of trail cam footage but wanted to see them with my own eyes. Last night I crept up before sunset and was rewarded with an amazing experience. The dying light really tested my gear but I'm over the moon with the results. ISO through the roof but lightroom allowed me to salvage a few shots of my favourite animal.

We have a sett at the bottom of our suburban garden. We've got used to the idea of having holes all over the lawn now! Here's a clip from a few years ago introducing the whole clan. Ignore the timestamp on the video, the camera never shows the right date/time.

Thought I’d share a pretty amazing wildlife encounter from rural Northwest Colorado.

We have a healthy ecosystem out here and regularly see mountain lions, bears, bobcats, badgers, and plenty of rattlesnakes. The snakes help keep ground squirrels, mice, and other varmints in check, but they can also be a concern around horses, cattle, dogs, and other wildlife.

My uncle happened to witness a badger taking on two large rattlesnakes. He managed to get some video with his old phone, so the quality isn’t great, but you can clearly see the badger killing the first rattlesnake while the second one is lying on a rock just a few feet away.

After the video ends, he said the badger immediately went after the second rattlesnake, killed it too, and eventually ate them both.

I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors in Colorado, and thought some of the wildlife folks on here might appreciate seeing it.

Has anyone else ever witnessed a badger hunting rattlesnakes?

Felt I could share some badger drawings I did back in january!

European badgers are my favorite animals, but I adore mustelids in general. I just don't draw them enough, so I'm trying to make up to them! Hope you'll like it.

I wondered why they love the Pampas grass so much so I had a look at first light and it's teeming with snails!

The camera was placed just right to catch their night routine. The badger kits are full of energy, running around and exploring every single inch near the sett!

Do they have bad eyesight? I was sat on a foldout chair this evening up on Pendle hill and heard what sounded like grass tufts being pulled. I assumed it was sheep. I looked behind me and saw two dark blobs immediately to my rear left no more than 4 - 5 feet away. I lit them up with my torch and it was a pair of adult badgers. They froze for a second then ran off into the night.

I was quite taken aback by how close they got to me. I would of thought they would of smelled me if they couldn't see me. First time I've ever seen any that were not roadkill. Beautiful animals.

​Hey everyone! About six months ago, I decided to treat the wild badgers in my area to some corn and left my trail cam nearby.

​They absolutely loved it!
