National Badger Day!
Badgers are a true living symbol of the British countryside. The earliest traces of badgers in the UK are half a million years old, meaning that they once coexisted alongside brown bears and arctic foxes! These elusive and mysterious creatures can be living right around the corner from us, but most of us have never been lucky enough to see one in its natural habitat.
