Some animals of our forests are familiar to us, others not quite as much. There is one inhabitant everyone thinks they know – but hardly anyone ever gets to see: The badger. This film follows a female badger and her two youngsters. The large martens are late developers, unsure and on shaky legs. One of them ventures out of the burrow and in doing so is in grave danger...

  • We do not cull badgers in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. They have been protected here since 1992❀❀❀❀

    Charming as the storytelling is, this footage would be interesting with an alternative soundtrack for adults interested in more detail about these creatures.

    Fabulous documentary. At one time, I lived on a hobby farm named Badger Hill.😊
  • @jim6161
    They are protected where I live as they are the state animal. A juvenile male made his den under my wood pile. And I don't mind.they have to dig deep dens where I live as the Winters here can be brutally cold. So I don't see him until late spring.
  • Although I've not seen them since the last cold snap that we've had recently, I am fortunate that I have a couple of these elusive creatures regularly visiting our garden. It's wonderful to see them up close from my balcony. It's a bit concerning regarding the culls I have heard about.

    Absolutely soul destroying that these beautiful creatures are cruelly culled in the UK.
