Badgers HabitatA 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.

Badgers habbit in deciduous woods, copses and hedgerows are the most usual location for setts/badger habitats especially if this is near open cultivated land.
