Badgers take considerable care over their grooming and scent plays an important part in the social hierarchy too. Adults set scent on each other and on cubs - in this way a composite smell characteristic of the whole community can create the smell of the group. This smell will be different from that of neighboring groups and helps recognition of friends and strangers.
