European badgers have very strong dentition and they are able to eat some big bones. <br />Since a long time in UK, struggles between hunters and pro-animals concerning foxes and badgers are tough. Often, English hunters describe them as dangerous animals that must be destroyed. It's an attempt to save hunt as a requirement. <br />In France, badgers hunters have an other point of view : badger is a very interesting game, we are allowed to hunt them with dogs but we have to be careful with population. Some hunt without killing.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_435L6nbOw&feature=player_embeddedBlaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578524019808180030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-89516684107181898192013-03-06T08:21:24.309-05:002013-03-06T08:21:24.309-05:00Badger will eat baby bunnies, but they are a bit s...Badger will eat baby bunnies, but they are a bit slow for adults. The point is that the European badger is mostly eating worms, bulbs, hedgehogs, roadkill and baby bunnies, not sheep or deer or even adult rabbits. In the UK, where the wolf and bear were wiped out long ago, and there are no other larger predators, they have elevated the slight mouse-eating fox to fill the archetype of the wolf, and the badger to that of the bear. In the U.S., where we have so many coyotes, bears, wolves, alligators, bobcats, and mountain lions, such inflation is humorous. The American badger, which is not related to the European animal, is a 100 percent meat eater -- mostly rats, ground squirrels, prairie dogs and mice. The European badger has been described as "among the least carnivorous members of the order Carnivora". >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_badger#DietPBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-13538337279328439302013-03-06T03:15:46.576-05:002013-03-06T03:15:46.576-05:00The great fierce badger of European folklore...

But you are a bit wrong concerning his disinterest for rabbit. If the european badger meal was just worms, beetles and beetle larvae, badger wouldn't armed with such set of teeth.<br />A french badger fan.Blaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578524019808180030noreply@blogger.com
