Language: English   Ref: w032-08   Back to top
 A detailed account of the hog badger, with information from several sources including my Badger Pages site. Covers range, habitat, description, reproduction, lifespan, behaviour, food habits, predation and conservation. On the basis that the Eurasian badger is known to carry bovine TB, the author of the web page makes the assumption that hog badgers are also likely to carry diseases affecting livestock!
