Unlike the gruff, moody character in The Wind in the Willows , badgers are gregarious animals – cubs in particular are wonderfully playful. Dusk is the best time to catch a glimpse of their tomfoolery. As nocturnal animals that live underground, badgers can be elusive – this might explain why they feature so frequently in folklore. All sorts of strange things were once thought about the badger, for instance it was believed that they had shorter legs on one side than the other, caused by walking on sloping hillsides! They have been variously portrayed as lucky or unlucky, and some superstitions allude to badger hair as a protection against witchcraft.
These days the badger, or to use its old Celtic name, the brock, is the largest land-dwelling carnivore in the British Isles. Its favourite food seems to be earthworms – of which it can eat up to 200 in a night!
