Badgers are the wildlife equivalent of one of those little short squat blokes who can drink 17 pints and then go out and start a proper fight with the entire military occupancy of a visiting ukranian aircraft carrier out on shore leave and still stagger home to cook a quick fry up before waking up bright and breezy the next morning with not a scratch on him.
Badgers were designed by Chuck Norris when he took over god’s job for a few weeks so God could go on holiday….. to give tazmanian devils something to fight.
They are made for brawling. Heavy thick fur, jaws like a tiger, thick heavy bones, extremely low centre of gravity, claws like a lion, hard as eff.
Avoid. I’ve known hunting dogs to be ripped up good and proper when they’ve cornered a badger.
