  • Some animals of our forests are familiar to us, others not quite as much. There is one inhabitant everyone thinks they know - but hardly anyone ever gets to see: The badger. This film follows a female badger and her two youngsters. The large martens are late developers, unsure and on shaky legs. One of them ventures out of the burrow and in doing so is in grave danger...

I've had to euthanize 5 cows who stepped in there holes and snapped a leg in half because of their digging after squirrels and marmots in our fields. Thankfully no horses yet. American badgers are no joke. Kill on sight unless they are in the woods. I also kill mosquitoes that land on me.

      Badgers are actually in the family Mustelidae

    • @indyreno2933
      @indyreno2933 2 месяца назад

      @gwentomologist, not anymore, Mustelidae is now restricted only to the weasels, ferrets, and minks, therefore the family no longer includes the skunks, stink badgers, otters, zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, and martens, which are all now moved to four different families, the skunks and stink badgers both now belong to the family Mephitidae, the fifteen extant species of badger are now lumped together into the family Melidae, the otters are now evaluated into the family Lutridae, and the zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, and martens are all now lumped together into the family Ictonychidae, similarly, Viverridae is now restricted only to the civets, while the feripaka, linsangs, oyans, genets, mongooses, falanoucs, fossa, fanaloka, and vontsiras are all no longer part of Viverridae, the feripaka is considered the only living member of the family Nandiniidae, the linsangs are now considered the only living genus of the family Prionodontidae, the oyans are now considered the only living genus of the family Poianidae, the genets are now considered the only living genus of the family Genettidae, the mongooses are now evaluated into the family Herpestidae, and the falanoucs, fossa, fanaloka, and vontsiras, which all live only in Madagascar are now lumped together into the family Eupleridae, this makes Mustelidae and Viverridae equally the most heavily reduced families of extant carnivorans.

    Although I've not seen them since the last cold snap that we've had recently, I am fortunate that I have a couple of these elusive creatures regularly visiting our garden. It's wonderful to see them up close from my balcony. It's a bit concerning regarding the culls I have heard about.

    • @brittanylyles8285
      @brittanylyles8285 Год назад

      Culling is required for many species since our ancestors killed out most of the natural predators. Why do you think the government gives deer tags and tags for killing badger? Because that's the estimated amount that would have been killed by their natural predators if they still existed.

    • @calibadgerdude6082
      @calibadgerdude6082 9 месяцев назад +1

      Very different creatures. Even American Badgers are quite different than European badgers. Euros are far more social and primarily omnivorous, whereas AB and wolverine are more solitary hunters and primarily carnivorous. As a result, AB and Wolverines are much more aggressive. Euros can be aggressive, but usually it’s a defensive reaction when they’re surprised or startled, they typically won’t go after or approach other animals if they can avoid them. The others will poach prey from other animals and aggressively chase off intruders into their territory. That being said, all badgers and their wolverine kin are very strong, fearsome fighters and are typically very high on nature’s “don’t mess with” list.
