A Woodland Badger Preparing Its Underground Den
Badgers build extensive underground burrows known as setts, often excavated beneath rocky ledges in woodland areas. These nocturnal mammals maintain their underground shelters by clearing dirt from entrance tunnels with digging tools like a shovel. A rocky ledge overhead provides natural shelter and stability above the burrow entrance.
How Badgers Build and Maintain Setts
Badgers inherit setts from previous generations, continuously digging new tunnels and chambers that can span decades of use. Their sharp claws and strong forelimbs are specialized for digging deep into rocky or compacted forest soil. Badgers regularly replace dry grass and moss bedding inside their sleeping dens to stay warm and clean.
