European Badger |
Badgers are omnivores. They live underground in a network of tunnels called a set. Sometimes these sets are shared with foxes. They have very special jaws that are almost impossible to dislocate meaning that it can maintain its hold on prey with great tenacity but this limits its jaw movements. The Honey Badger of Africa is a vicious predator that eats venomous snakes as well as honey and porcupines!

European badgers are fond of peanut butter but should not be used to attract them as they may react badly to humans.
