Скачать или смотреть Playful Badger Family Caught on Trail Camera | Social Behaviour in UK Wildlife

Captured on my trail camera at Deadwater Valley Reserve in Bordon, this video reveals a small badger (Meles meles) family thriving in the managed woodland — offering a rare glimpse into their complex social behaviour. Badgers live in structured clans centred around shared setts and stable territories, cooperating in grooming, raising young, and maintaining their underground networks.

The playful interactions shown here are more than just entertaining to watch — they play an essential role in developing communication skills, social confidence, and strong bonds within the group. Moments like this highlight the importance of healthy, protected habitats where wildlife can thrive and express natural behaviours.
