Description

The European Badger, Meles meles, is a stoutly built animal with a black, white, and brown coat, a stocky body, small black eyes, and a short tail. It is also known as the Eurasian badger; they are native to almost all of Europe and some parts of Western Asia. While classified as eating a carnivorous diet, the European badger also consumes a large variety of plant and animal foods including earthworms, insects, small mammals, carrion, cereals, and tubers. European badgers share their burrows with other mammal species like rabbits, red foxes, and raccoon dogs.
