2. About The Name DAS
   Das means two completely unrelated things in Dutch badger (you may also have alook at these badger photos and videos, or read about Dutch badger wildlife).  
   http://www.cs.vu.nl/das/das-name.html
   
   Extractions: ASCI is an acronym for "Advanced School for Computing and Imaging", a cooperation between a number of Dutch Universities on the said subjects. "Das" means two completely unrelated things in Dutch: badger (you may also have a look at these badger photos and videos , or read about Dutch badger wildlife ). "Badger" is quite in keeping with our tradition of naming projects after black-and-white animals: Orca Panda Albatross MagPIe , and Manta . "Das" also means tie (the thing you wear around your neck if you are pursuing a career). # See also this # inspired artistry Back to the DAS home page This page is maintained by Rutger Hofman .

   Extractions: Badgers (Meles meles) have lived in Britain for at least 250,000 years. The latest surveys show that there are a quarter of a million badgers in the UK, unevenly distributed across the country. The effects of persecution and changing land use mean that they have almost disappeared from some areas. How badgers live Badgers live in groups of up to 14 adults. The badgers dig out and live in a maze of underground tunnels and chambers called a sett. The main sett is occupied all year round and is a permanent home in fact some are thought to be around 100 years old. Around each main sett, there are others that are used sporadically throughout the year, often between January and March when the cubs are born. Badgers like to build their setts into sloping ground in woodlands, especially where the drainage is good and the soil is not too heavy to dig. Badgers are rarely seen during the day, but forage for food at night. Their favourite foods are earthworms, insects, roots, fruits and berries. They may on occasion catch a young rabbit or even a frog. They are powerful animals about the size of a spaniel, and the male (boar), weighing up to 11 kilos, is slightly larger than the female (sow). Threats to badgers Badgers can live for up to 14 years, but are likely to die or be killed before they reach this age. Road traffic kills around 50,000 each year, and although this is a terrible toll, populations in many areas remain high. Intensive agriculture and urbanisation have more serious effects. Badgers are creatures of habit and cannot easily adapt to change. Where they are disturbed by development or people interfering with their setts, they may have problems in adapting, and may be forced to move on.

   American badger The Mammals of Texas Online Edition. Please send comments,suggestions, or questions to Texas Parks and wildlife, 4200 Smith School Rd  
   http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/nature/wild/mammals/badger.htm
   
   Extractions: Taxidea taxus The Badger is a very robust and stocky animal with a short, bushy tail. It has a comical walk since it has to swagger or waddle because of its short legs and broad body. It has long, shaggy fur with a very distinctive white stripe that extends from its nose to its shoulders. The badger's black feet each have five toes, and the front feet have long, thick claws an inch or more in length. Badgers have small eyes and ears and a slightly pointed nose. Their keen sense of smell is second only to that of members of the dog family. Although they look cute and shy, badgers are ferocious fighters that should not be disturbed. They will growl, snarl and emit an unsavory musk scent if provoked. Badgers are fossorial animals, which means they burrow underground. When excavating, badgers use their long, thick front claws to break fresh ground while their back legs kick out the excess dirt. They are known to dig faster than any mammal, including a man with a shovel. Badgers primarily eat small mammals such as ground squirrels, pocket gophers, prairie dogs and cottontail rabbits, but they also will consume birds, invertebrates and carrion. Badgers also eat rattlesnakes and, lucky for them, they are unaffected by the snake's venom unless they are struck on the nose. While hunting burrowing animals, badgers are occasionally out-maneuvered by "wily" coyotes. As badgers dig after rodents, coyotes will wait and snatch the escaping prey above ground, leaving badgers with just a glimpse of what might have been for dinner.

8. The Wildlife Trusts Position On The Badger Cull
   Rather than the present badger cull, the Trust would like to see research funds directedinstead towards finding ways of minimising the Cornwall wildlife Trust.  
   http://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/cornwall/about/maff.htm
   
   Extractions: THE TRUST'S POSITION ON THE BADGER CULL This week the Trust's switchboard has been flooded with telephone calls from people shocked to hear about the recent developments in MAFF's badger-related activities in West Penwith and wanting to know what position the Trust is taking . We hope that the following article will clarify this. The Trust has issued a policy which basically states its opposition to this latest badger experiment, which it regards as being scientifically flawed. At the end of January the Trust issued a press release supporting local farmers but condemning the cull. We will, of course, not be permitting MAFF to kill badgers on any of our nature reserves. Mark Nicholson, our Education and Publicity Officer, stated on Westcountry Television recently: "We are against the cull because we don't think it will work - we don't think it will give us the answer to the problem and so we think it is a waste of money and a waste of badgers." Bovine TB is a problem in many countries throughout the world with various animals being blamed for transmission. Rather than the present badger cull, the Trust would like to see research funds directed instead towards finding ways of minimising the risks of transmission and towards developing a vaccine for cattle. The RSPB and the Woodland Trust have also decided not to give permission for badgers to be killed on their nature reserves.

   Extractions: Over the years, many creatures have passed through Derek and Pauline's home. Their work with wildlife has increased alongside their own farm animals and pets. Hand-rearing badgers and foxes, breeding tortoises, the unexpected can be seen - even axolotels! Secret World, with its listed buildings, is one of the oldest farms in the area, dating back to 1675. Family run, with the help of the Kidner's two sons, Daniel and Simon, it demonstrates both modern and traditional methods of farming. Over sixty different breeds of animals can be found here, many unique to Secret World. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the complete freedom of Derek and Pauline Kidner's home. Somerset County Council's Visitor Centre, which offers unusual audio-visual effects and 'hands on' experiences for all ages, explains the farming on the Somerset levels and moors. All part of your farm visit. Whatever the weather, there is plenty to enjoy. See the bees making honey and the mysteries of rhine life in the new insect house. The new Nocturnal House is where night creatures can be seen in natural surroundings. There is a unique observation sett, that was opened by Simon King, where you can watch badger life.

    Extractions: Beaver The Badger The badger is familiar to us all, but few people have actually seen one 'live' in the countryside. A large and powerful animal, the badger is strictly nocturnal and feeds on a wide range of roots, grubs and carrion. The often huge 'setts' where it lives are much easier to find, with their numerous tunnel entrances and mounds of excavated earth. The badger is still widespread throughout Scotland, including in urban areas, but the SWT believes that this very special mammal needs our protection and conservation whenever man's and badger's interests conflict.

    http://hyperion.advanced.org/16645/wildlife/honey_badger.shtml
    
    Extractions: The ratel badger can live in almost any biome, wet or dry and elevations up to 1 mi (1700 m) which are generally the rainforest regions. The ratel badger will eat anything from insects (such as bees, ants and termites) to mammals to fruits and berries. The ratel can also easily dig for food especially the prey which is too difficult for most non-diggers to reach. Activity The ratel badger is considered diurnal and nocturnal and can easily adapt to the region in which it lives. The ratel can become diurnal or nocturnal depending on which is more efficient. In rural areas, for example, the ratel will sleep during the day and then hunt for food all night. Social Systems

    http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/badger.html
    
    Extractions: Badgers measure 520-875mm from head to tail, with the tail making up only 100-155 mm of this length. The body is flattened, and the legs are short and stocky. The fur on the back and flanks of the animal ranges from grayish to reddish. The ventrum is a buffy color. The face of the badger is distinct. The throat and chin are whitish, and the face has black patches. A white dorsal stripe extends back over the head from the nose. In northern populations, this stripe ends near the shoulders. In southern populations, however, it continues over the back to the rump. Badgers are solitary animals. Typical population density is about 5 animals per square kilometer. Males occupy larger home ranges than females (2.4 versus 1.6 square kilometers), but this species is not known to defend an exclusive territory. Badgers are mainly active at night, and tend to be inactive during the winter months. The badger is an excellent digging machine. Their burrows are constructed mainly in the pursuit of prey, but they are also used for sleeping. A typical badger den may be as far a 3 meters below the surface, contain about 10 meters of tunnels, and have an enlarged chamber for sleeping. Badgers use multiple burrows within thier home range, and they may not use the same burrow more than once a month.

    Extractions: The Badger by Brandon, age 9 If you see a skunk but it has big claws, it's probably a badger. It might look like something else because there are seven types. By the time you look back it might be gone. They can dig three feet in the ground per minute and in a pond they're good swimmers. They can dig their own tunnels. Badgers are weird because they can see better in dim light than in bright sunlight. Stay away from the badgers when they sharpen their claws. Badgers eat sweet things, fruits, wild berries, plants and meat. Most badgers live in North America. I got my information from THE BADGER by Carl R. Green and William R. Sanford. Badger by Trevor C., age 8 If you see a striped faced creature and he has sharp claws, it might be a badger. The badger sniffs the air for danger because he has a strong sense of smell. He uses his great sense of smell to protect himself against his enemies. Badgers can smell their enemies. The badger eats rats, rabbits, grasshoppers and plants. The badger lives under the ground. The badger digs really fast to make its burrow. The best time to watch badger is in the evening. The badger has 2 layers of fur. I got my information from THE BADGER by Carl R. Green and William R. Sanford.
