Can Badgers Be Dangerous?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Badgers have lived in Britain for at least 250,000 years and the latest surveys show that there a quarter of a million badgers in the UK, distributed across the country. Badgers live in groups of up to 14 adults and dig out and live in a maze of underground tunnels and chambers called setts. Some setts are reported to be over 100 years old and each sett becomes a permanent home for badgers all over the country.
    Badgesr can live up to 14 years, but are likely to be killed by hunting or on roads beore they reach this age.
    Badgers can be quite aggressive to humans, but they are not naturally aggressive animals and their aggression is only stemed from a few of predators. Badger are now considered a protected species - The Protection of Badgers Act 1992 legistates that it is an offence to kill, injure or take a badger, or to damage a sett.
