Animal facts-Badger

In this post I'll be discussing the badger. Anyone out there who's a Wisconsin Badger football fan? I'm one. Oh great, now I'm going to get bad comments from Ohio St. Buckeye fans or Michigan St. Spartan fans. By the way, Badgers won the 2011 Big Ten Championship game - at Sparty fans. I guess I got off on a tangent... we're not talking about sports but about facts on amazing animals. So here's some facts about badgers.

 

Badgers live in all the continents except Antarctica and Australia. Badgers can live up to 2 years. Badgers are mammals and are omnivores. They can have up to five babies. They are shy and live in groups up to 5. When together it is called a crete or clan. There are estimated to be 28,000 badgers in the United Kingdom, for those who live in the UK. I thought you might want to know that. They are closely related to the otter, marten and weasel. They have a strong sense of smell. The cubs are born in February. They have big claws. Badgers are less active in the winter. They eat worms, insects and other small animals. There are 8 species of badgers. They are white and black.

Here's a picture of a badger for you who live in Australia. I found this picture on tolweb.org.





Very interesting video. You'll enjoy it! The video is brought to you by oasishdchannel. Make sure you watch all of it. It starts out showing how deadly the snake is.
