If you've spent any time at this site, you will surely have already noticed the differences in our badger's appearance. There's more of a family resemblence with the foxes and weasels. North American badgers run about 700mm from nose to rump, and usually weigh about 10-15kg. The physical differences are nothing compared to differences in character and behavior. Your badgers dig laberynthine setts, with many chambers, exits, and tunnels.
Many badgers live together in a cete, or community.
Ocasionally, other animals with share a sett for a short time. Ours usually just dig a hole or two, and are very solitary animals. North American badgers range over several kilometers, and don't really steak out territories. Any animal, and I include Man, which pokes a toe into an American badger burrow, has just initiated mortal combat. I have a good friend in the northeast of England who has badgers living in his back yard.
