What do badgers do and why?

English badgers are known by the nickname of 'Brock'.Badgers are nocturnal and rarely seen during the day. They usually leave their setts at dusk or later.

When not active, badgers usually lie up in an extensive system of underground tunnels and nesting chambers, known as a sett Badgers are social animals, living in large groups of adults and young. They take considerable care over their grooming. Scent plays an important part in the social hierarchy too.

Badgers live in 'setts' which are underground homes usually situated in small clearings in woodland or copses. A simple sett is made up of a single tunnel, with a sleeping chamber at the end. However, most setts have several entrance holes, and lots of tunnels which link up with each other. The tunnels also link up with sleeping, breeding and nursery chambers, and small ones used as latrines.Badgers prefer grazed pasture and woodland, which have high numbers of earthworms exposed, and dislike clay soil, which is difficult to dig even with their powerful claws. In urban areas, some badgers scavenge food from bins and gardens. Badgers live in America, Europe and Asia.
