The word badger is said to derive from the French ‘bêcheur’ meaning ‘digger’.
Unlike dogs and foxes, badgers have five toes and very powerful, long claws, particularly on the front feet.
Badgers will eat several hundred earthworms every night, but also love insects, bluebell bulbs and elder berries – you can often find these bushes growing near to the setts.
Because they have very thick skin and long claws they are one of the species that can kill and eat hedgehogs!

Hello and Welcome!
My name is Jack, I live in Alberta, Canada and I post photo’s that I have taken along the way. I have added-on a "Bible Quote" to pique the interest of each post. As an ametuer photographer I am fortunate to live in a place and in the middle of two beautiful provinces of Canada, where photo op’s are abundant and the scenery of God's Nature makes you awestruck. A place for which, it is a sin to ever leave home without a camera!
I have named my web site with a "WINDOW " because you get what I see and you are really viewing the wonders of God's beautiful nature! Discover it!
I welcome feedback and questions! Enjoy!
Jack
