*** About Badgers in Alberta: The badger, a robust and solitary mammal, thrives across various regions of Alberta. Known for their digging prowess, badgers create extensive underground burrows that serve as homes and hunting posts. These nocturnal animals are primarily carnivorous, with diets that include rodents, small mammals, and occasionally insects. Badgers play a crucial role in their ecosystems, influencing soil health and prey populations. Despite their fierce nature and capability for burrow construction, badgers maintain a low profile in the wild, making sightings a notable event for wildlife enthusiasts.
