The Eurasian badger (Meles meles) belongs to the weasel family. At 64 to 88 centimetres from head to rump and 7 to 14 kilograms, it is the family's largest member in central Europe. It lives in mixed woodland and rolling country with hedgerows, digging its sett into a slope. Badgers form clans that share a sett; their diet is mostly earthworms and insects, topped up with berries, acorns and field crops. In cold winters they sleep for long spells in the sett, waking now and then, and the two or three cubs are born there in late winter.
Did you know that a badger sett is handed down through generations? One sett in southern England had 50 chambers and 178 entrances linked by 879 metres of tunnel. A sett near Malchin in northern Germany held bones at least 13,000 years old, a hint at how long such setts stay in use.
