*** About Badgers: Native to broad swathes of North America, Europe, and Asia, badgers are known for their burrowing capability, forming extensive underground networks called setts. These mammals are primarily nocturnal, emerging in the twilight hours to forage for a diet comprised of earthworms, insects, grubs, and the occasional small mammal or fruit. The European badger, which this depiction closely resembles, is particularly noted for its social structure, often living in large, multi-generational groups. Badgers can be fiercely protective of their young, showcasing strong parental instincts which are vividly captured in this artistic rendering.
