Facts About Badgers
Badgers are nocturnal – that means they sleep during the day and come out at night!
This means that they give birth to live young called cubs.
An adult badger can be 65-80cm long and between 8-12kg in weight.
Badgers can’t see very well, even though they are most active in the dark.
Badgers are omnivorous – they will eat lots of different foods, but their favourite meal is earthworms!
A badger’s home is called a sett. The sett is an underground home made up of tunnels and cosy bed chambers.
