I have seen ginger badgers before. I had a very similar encounter with a badger at about 700m altitude in the bowl at the top of the Allt Ruadh, Glen Feshie, when we disturbed a badger at close range and it bolted, then did not stop. Pretty ungainly in deep heather. The two idiots on mountain bikes weren't doing any better...
Is the muntjac on it’s holidays in Scotland?
If you check this map from the UK mammal org. You’ll see there are indeed reported pockets of muntjac in Scotland……
However, it’s also widely believed amongst certain demographics that this is down to mis-identification, false reporting or even practical jokers dropping off carcasses at roadsides as a bit of a wheeze.

Some people are right jokers.
Oh how they must have laughed!
Well I saw a muntjac 2 actually on the m6 on Thursday maybe hutch hiking.
Legs too short, I am going with ginger badger as it couldn't be a wolverine. Just the weirdest thing. I have been mooching about the Highlands and wild camping for a long time and have never seen anything like it.

Yeah seems very unlikely that there’d be no sightings until those small pockets, I have heard they’re appearing further north but certainly not Scotland.

Nah, that would be a rabbit, surely?
stretched rabbit?
Lots of flat rabbits on the m6.
The deer where around again today so it's not those in Scotland.

Aware this is now old but just stopped in at Cross keys in Ettrickbridge and by the first is a stuffed white/ginger badger...
I'm hoping it is stuffed as I'm not planning on sharing any food or drink with it.
