What do badgers do and why?

Answer 1

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. They emerge cautiously, sniffing and listening for signs of danger. Once they are sure it is safe, they leave to groom, play and forage. 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. Adults set scent on each other and on cubs - the whole community can create the smell of the group. This smell will be different from neighboring groups and helps them in the recognition of friends and strangers A badgers burrow or home is called a sett. == == Badgers live together in large extensive system of underground tunnels or catacombs and nesting chambers called "setts", that are huge tunnel systems, in some cases, actually centuries old. 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. Geographic range - across Europe and Asia, bounded by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans (including Japan) and by the latitudes 60 and 35 degrees (also running south along the Asian Pacific coast through Vietnam). Badgers live in many counties of the UK. They like to live in banks where the soil is loose so that they can easily excavate their homes. North American badgers are found in the western and central United States, northern Mexico and central Canada. They range from the Great Lakes states west to Pacific Coast, and from Canadian Prairie Provinces, south to Mexican Plateau.
