We do not cull badgers in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. They have been protected here since 1992❤❤❤❤

I've Only Seen a Hand full of Badgers in my 52,,Years,,, Unfortunately I've Seen Anyamount Killed on the Roads,,,Same as The Poor HeadgeHog 😢,,, These WildLife Doc,s are BRILLIANT,, 👍👍👍

Charming as the storytelling is, this footage would be interesting with an alternative soundtrack for adults interested in more detail about these creatures.

Very interesting. Thank you.

Eurasian Badgers are rolly polly cute and cuddly social animals. Our American Badgers here are anti social loners that spit fire and fury making bears and panthrrs back up and run away. I wonder if we could do a badger swap?😂

They are protected where I live as they are the state animal. A juvenile male made his den under my wood pile. And I don't mind.they have to dig deep dens where I live as the Winters here can be brutally cold. So I don't see him until late spring.

Love this documentary so much! The narrator is amazing. Thank you for making this available for free!

I love badgers, they are the cutest lil babes 💕💕💕💕😌😌😌😌 As are the boar piglets !!! So adorable 😌

Absolutely soul destroying that these beautiful creatures are cruelly culled in the UK.

Although I've not seen them since the last cold snap that we've had recently, I am fortunate that I have a couple of these elusive creatures regularly visiting our garden. It's wonderful to see them up close from my balcony. It's a bit concerning regarding the culls I have heard about.

Shame they are culling them in the UK.

Stunning film work and thank you so much for sharing it with us, I have them all around my home and often see them up to 10ft away but never as you have shown them.

What a wonderful video about a lovely, often misunderstood animal! 💕💕💕💕

Such a nice job on this critter lifescape. Thanks.

A very lovely documentary thank you.

Fabulous documentary. At one time, I lived on a hobby farm named Badger Hill.😊

I wish that the commentary had included locations. but the video is impressive and educational.

Wonderful documentary!!!

Everybody knows Badger loves, Mash potatoes!

I wonder what kinda Bigfoot they got around der,lol

A sobering reminder of how many species are now missing from British landscapes. I found the narration too anthropomorphic and sentimental. That very human-centric viewpoint I don't think helps us understand better how to get on with our fellow creatures on this planet.

That badger den is so cute!

European badgers look like they want to serve you tea and crumpets while the American badger looks at you like you owe it money.

Very lovely to watch! Thank you!🐗

I quite liked that.

A wonderful film thank you

Where was this filmed please? I know it’s a ZDF docu, but I’m not sure if this is in Germany.. 🤔

Curious as to the temperament of Europepean badgers, compared to US wolverines; which I thought were same thing?

I wanted to watch this video because it was title “The Life of Badgers”. The name does not represent this video. Only about half of the video is about badgers, the rest is about other animals.

That’s a millipede in the video, not centipede! The ones that are poisonous he is talking about are millipedes

Precious documentary!! Enjoyed so much ❤

How can salamander’s predators be its enemies since it keeps its numbers in control and prevents them from starvation?

Love it 💕 tankiyou ❤

Love it. Cool badgers. Also liked the other animals.

Great show, but, too many ads for me.

🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡!

I can’t wait to see a living one

Very little is covered about badgers

anybody knows where was it shot?

( : my family adores their den : )

cute

Was that a feral cat?

" most animals sleep through the winter " WHAT? This channel makes False knowledge claims; bears hibernate during the winter. There are very few other animals that hibernate during the winter.

I cant watch these animal documentaries anymore without knowing that there was a sound crew who made all the noises that we hear in the video. the animals grunting and the sound of their foot steps, its all fake and its messing with my head. is that really how that sounds like, are the people making the sounds/noises staying true to what nature really sounds like, or are they just making sounds that they think is what we are suppose to hear? like seriously, i ffed myself bad with knowing its all fake. damn me. i wish i can enjoy watching the video without that intrusive thought nagging me. its not real, that is not how any of the animals sound like, that is not what the plant sounds like, everything i hear is fake, how much is what i'm seeing fake? everything too!! omg

Badgers? Badgers??? We don't need no stinkin Badgers!!!

Where is this ?

Not a secret anymore

In Ireland we're injecting 90%of the badgers no culling to prevent TB farmers want to cull them but if they get injected farmers won't want to cull them (TB is devastating for the farmer)🐄🦡🦡🦡🦡🐾🤬👨‍🌾

Female Owls looking for mate after the male created a nest for the female: "Will she accept the hole?" Shouldn't the female be offering "the Hole" up to the Male hoping for HIS acceptance? Lol
