Links Badger (Taxidea taxus) The handsome and somewhat portly badger is one of the largest members of the weasel family. It is widespread and common in North America, as long as there is suitable Habitat. Badgers live in open forested areas, or rangeland. In British Columbia, these habitats have been seriously reduced in the era of European settlement, and as a result the Badger is a rare mammal in this province. Fewer than 1,000 Badgers remain here, and they are restricted to the Okanagan Valley, north to Kamloops, and the East Kootenay region. Badgers spend much of their lives in burrows, which they dig with powerful forepaws and long claws. A female's maternity burrow complex is likely to include a split main tunnel, so two animals can pass, separate chambers for disposal of faeces, and a grass-lined bedding chamber. Badger litters average about two young, and are usually born in April. Like some other weasels, the Badger's reproductive system delays the implantation of the eggs in the uterus.

49. Country Reflections Article - Mallard badger mighty burrower needs to keep its head down again Putting allthat aside, it is not difficult to be charmed by a badger. http://www.countryreflections.co.uk/columns/badger.htm

BADGER: mighty burrower needs to keep its head down again POWERFULLY built, yet shy and elusive, the badger is an animal which sparks almost as much controversy and debate in the countryside as the fox. Strong claws, big forearms, and a muscular, streamlined body mean the badger is perfectly designed for digging and living unseen underground. Its tendency to exist in large family groups has also added to its ability to thrive despite the urbanisation of much of the country. Badger baiting - where victims are often maimed even before dogs are let at them for 'entertainment' - has long been a scourge. But conservationists have been fighting back and most counties now have groups dedicated to protecting badgers, backed up by police and the RSPCA. Unfortunately, badgers are under threat again from official quarters. Renewed fears about tuberculosis being spread from badgers to cattle recently sounded the death knell for up to 20,000 twilight foraging 'brocks'. Protesters, many of whom think badgers are innocent of the TB charge, are appalled that renewed slaughter of these handsome, hardy creatures has become a feature again of the British countryside.

The Living Africa: Wildlife - Carnivores - Ratel Or Honey Badger there have not been any true fieldstudies completed on the ratel badger. http//library.advanced.org/thinkquest/tq-entries/16645/wildlife/honey_badger.shtml. http://www.abc.lv/thinkquest/tq-entries/16645/wildlife/honey_badger.shtml

Civet Serval Leopard Lion ... Ratel or Honey Badger Ratel or Honey Badger: Mellivora capensis Characteristics Weight and Height males/females: wt 17.6-32 lb (8-14.5 kg), ht 9-11 in (23-28 cm), hbl 26-30 in (65-75 cm) Tail Relatively short, 7 to 9 in (18-22 cm) long. Color Black with gray or white areas, such as on tail and crown. General Locations The badger can be found in most regions south of the Sahara, except for deserts and lowland rainforest. The ratel badger can be found in most of West Africa, south of Morocco. Habitat The ratel badger can live in almost any biome, wet or dry and elevations up to 1 mi (1700 m) which are generally the rainforest regions. The ratel badger will eat anything from insects (such as bees, ants and termites) to mammals to fruits and berries. The ratel can also easily dig for food especially the prey which is too difficult for most non-diggers to reach. Activity The ratel badger is considered diurnal and nocturnal and can easily adapt to the region in which it lives. The ratel can become diurnal or nocturnal depending on which is more efficient. In rural areas, for example, the ratel will sleep during the day and then hunt for food all night. Social Systems Currently there have not been any true field-studies completed on the ratel badger. However, ratels are generally seen alone and occasionally in duos or trios. Evidence shows that ratels probably form monogamous pairs for mating.

Badger Status: British Columbia Red List Badger Taxidea taxus Weight: 6-14 kg; length: 65-90 cm. Badgers are one of the largest members of the weasel family. Stout, shaggy animals with distinctive black and white facial markings and a short tail. Black fur around the eyes and on the side of the snout, and a triangular black patch, surrounded by white fur on the side of the face; grey to brown body fur with lighter undersides. Maximum lifespan is approximately 14 years. Habitat map not available. Special Significance The Badger is at risk in British Columbia because the amount of suitable habitat is small and has been adversely affected by human activity. Key areas of low elevation grasslands and open pine or fir forests have been lost. The small British Columbia population is vulnerable to regional and provincial extirpation. This burrowing mammal may play an important role controlling rodents that cause pasture or cropland damage. The continued survival of Badger populations in British Columbia requires establishment of protected areas, responsible stewardship of ranges used for cattle grazing, appropriate forest management practices, a reduction in the use of rodenticides and an increased understanding of this interesting animal. Distribution In British Columbia, Badgers occur in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, Thompson River, Nicola Valley, and East Kootenay areas; a few Badgers have been noted in the South Cariboo, West Kootenay and eastern Chilcotin. Elevational range within British Columbia is 400 to 1500 metres, and occasionally up to 2400 metres.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BADGER GROUPS NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BADGER GROUPS News Release For immediate release, Friday 20 April 2001 Strengthened unit to fight wildlife crime in London The National Federation of Badger Groups (NFBG) today (20 April 2001) wholeheartedly welcomed today's announcement that the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit will be stepping up its work to fight wildlife crime in London. “We are delighted that the Unit will continue its vital work in tackling crimes against badgers and other wildlife,” said Dr Elaine King, Conservation Officer for the NFBG. “The NFBG and its member groups benefit from working in close partnership with officers from the Wildlife Crime Unit and value highly their expertise, enthusiasm and commitment.” Dr King continued, “The British public attaches a high value to wildlife and expects the government to fund properly the fight against wildlife crime. Very few police forces employ full time Wildlife Officers and many carry out their wildlife work in their own time, with little or no resources. “It is encouraging that the Metropolitan Police recognizes the importance of tackling wildlife crime and we urge other forces to follow its example.”

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BADGER GROUPS NATIONAL FEDERATION OF BADGER GROUPS News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday 27 November 1998 UK Government accused of breaching international wildlife treaty On Wednesday, 2nd December 1998, the National Federation of Badger Groups (NFBG) will attend the 18th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Bern Convention, in Strasbourg, France. The Bern Convention is Europe's longest-standing wildlife treaty and the NFBG is challenging the legitimacy of the UK Government's plans to cull 20,000 badgers in an experiment to discover whether badgers give bovine TB to cattle. " The Government is failing to meet its international obligations on wildlife protection ", said Dr Elaine King, conservation Officer for the NFBG, " Our legal advisors are confident that the Government's badger culling experiment is a clear breach of Articles 7, 8 and 9 of the Bern Convention.
