Badger sett and skull

[nazimundo]

I took these yesterday when I went to check the Badger sett as there has been a lot of timber operations near to it lately.


This is the main entrance to the sett.



I found this old skull in the wood about ten yards from the entrance.

Oh, goodness! Do you think it is a badger skull? Guess it is as it is very flat like a badger head.

A wonder the two halves didn't fall apart when you opened the mouth.

Perhaps you can find the rest of the skeleton.

Those teeth look in much better condition than the tooth I found. (donkey you thought)

Super find and pics, Alfie

Thanks kedi, Heres a link to a site with a photo of a Badger skull along with an explanation of how you find them outside setts.

Thanks for the interesting link, Alfie. Now all I have to do is to finally see a badger in real life! No kidding, I have never seen one.
