A Badger Exploring the Woodland Floor

On a sloped woodland floor, a striped badger leaves its burrow beneath the roots of an old oak tree. Fallen oak leaves and scattered acorns cover the ground across the forest slope.

Underground Life of Woodland Badgers

European badgers dig extensive underground tunnel systems called setts, which can feature dozens of entrances used by several generations. Their strong claws allow them to excavate deep burrows near tree roots where soil remains stable.
