A badger is a black and white animal which can sometimes be the size of a large dog. Badgers are rarely seen by humans They live in underground holes in woods and forests in Europe and many of their homes have been there for centuries. Scientists have even found bones of badgers from 250,000 years ago. They eat insects and small animals, but also young plants and eggs.
The old English word for a badger was ‘brock’ and a few English villages, for example Brockenhurst and Brockley, have taken that name. There are lots of children’s books about badgers. In some stories, badgers are very old and clever, but in others, they’re not nice at all. This is probably because badgers are not very friendly and only come out at night.
