Badgers are living in the forests of Europe and western Asia ,
searching to find roots and berries , and also worms and insects.Surprisingly Badgers can run up to 30 kms per hour for short periods
of time and have been known to successfully combat the larger mammals like wolves , coyotes and bears!There have been normal reports over the years against badgers as being particularly aggressive with dogs and even humans!
Badger is able to produce a painful bite , and some badgers are also known to lead to a type more commonly known rabies.The Badgers are found in black and white stripes in western Europe.Badgers are believed to be related to weasels and otters and can grow to almost a meter long ! Badger lives in underground burrows , which often contain a way of tunnels.
It is believed that by digging their burrows , badgers are able to remove tons of soil surfaces !Badger is the common name for any three subfamilies of Badger ,belonging to the family Mustelidae.This is the same family as ferrets mammal, weasels , otters , and several other types of carnivore which means badger is most closely attached to these animals.
There are eight species of badger and these species are divided into three subfamilies, badgers of Europe and Asia, Ratel badger or honey badger and American badger. The Asian stink badger was once before classified as a badger but today badger species is thought to be more closely related to the skunk.
Typical species of badger have short legs and also tend to have a relatively heavy accumulation. The lower jaw is articulated to upper jaw which means it is much difficult to dislocate the jaw badgers . This enables the badger to maintain its control over the prey easily , but limits the movement of badgers jaw opening and closing hinge or sliding from side to side .
