What are the predators of the Eurasian Badger?
Because of their tenacity and durability, Eurasian (or European) Badgers have few predators and competitors. Eurasian Lynx (most likely a competitor), Siberian Tigers, Wolves and bears may pose a threat. But badgers are rarely killed. Red foxes and badgers often face each-other, and will sometimes live alongside in isolated sections of large burrows and tolerate each-other out of commensalism and badgers will sometimes maintain the the shared burrow with cleanliness, while red foxes will provide badgers with scraps. But sometimes, the badgers are like the local bullies. One incident of a red fox and a badger meeting is when a Red Fox is eating scraps from a bowl, only to be bitten on the tail by a Eurasian Badger, and thrashed around like a ragdoll. The red fox ran off later. Eurasian Badgers will also drive vixens out of their dens and destroy litter without eating them. Eurasian Badgers will also live along-side Raccoon Dogs, and badgers are even meaner to them. Raccoon Dogs may extensively use badger setts for shelter. But if they overstay their welcome, badgers could drive them out, injure them or even kill them. There are known cases of badgers and raccoon dogs wintering at the same hole.
