Here are a few facts:
Badgers are said to have been in Britain for over 250,000 years, but scientists argued that there is fossil evidence of this being even longer.
The Badgers name is said to be derived from the French âbĂȘcheurâ, meaning âdiggerâ. Others claim that the name comes from the distinctive striped head which looks like a badge. The Welsh word for badger is âmochyn daearâ, which literally translated means âearth pigâ
Badgers live in their own homes, known as setts, which are burrows underground. These can survive for centuries, housing several generations of badgers, which consist of a series of chambers and tunnels and have several different entrances.
Badgers take pride in their home. They wonât bring food inside the sett & wonât use any part of it as a toilet. Badgers also like to keep their setts clean and will repeatedly change their bedding to prevent the build-up of fleas and lice.
Badgers are usually monogamous; boars typically mate with one female for life, whereas sows have been known to mate with more than one male. Mating lasts for fifteen to sixty minutes, though the pair may briefly copulate for a minute or two when the sow is not in estrus 
Badgers mate at almost any time of the year, but due to an unusual reproductive technique, known as delayed implantation, they have only one litter a year.
Litter size ranges from one to five cubs, with two or three the more common number.

Most cubs are born in early to mid-February and will emerge above ground at around 12 weeks. At 16 weeks, cubs will be displaying most adult social behaviours, including grooming and scent marking.
Badgers have a long history of cruelty and persecution in the UK spanning hundreds of years. To this day badgers remain one of the most persecuted of all species despite having one of the highest levels of protection in law.
Badger baiting involves torturing badgers until death and is a thriving âblood-sportâ across the UK. Lamping for badgers is another favoured pastime, with perpetrators choosing to stalk foraging badgers late at night before unleashing their dogs in terrifying and gruesome combat.
They are also culled in their 1000s because of TB.
A Defra spokesperson said: âBovine TB leads to the slaughter of over 30,000 cattle every year and considerable trauma for farmers as they suffer the loss of highly prized animals and valued herds''

What else can we do to help?
The biggest thing we can all do to help save these beautiful creatures is to go vegan.
We must also create safe havens so that ALL wild species can thrive.
