Correct. The word doesn't sound like anything four-legged if you ask me. We have them close by, but not actually here, and my garden is thankful for it. Guess it's just a matter of time before they expand the territory.
Our close by ones seem to have got a bit closer this winter but hopefully will return to their sett when the weather gets better. There is a very very old sett about a mile away from the village, and I know they will travel miles for food. Zigs seems to be besotted with badgers
I don't mind a badger One thing puzzles me, the word for badger is so very different all over Europe We've even got 3 different names for them here in the UK, Badger, Brock and Mochun Daer. In Europe they are... Blaireau Tasso, Tejon, Jazbec, Barsuk, Porsuk, Mayra, Asvos, Borz, Greflingur, Apsis, And of course in German - Dachs, which must be pronounced like a declaration of war
Our badgers are adorable creatures The creatures in America that you name after the badger are more like the Tasmanian Devils ....
Great British Tea Party 1 September 2017 ยท Bill Badger and Rupert the Bear - 1st Class stamp design by John Harrold, 1993 Rupert Bear is a children's comic strip character created by the English artist Mary Tourtel and first appearing in the Daily Express newspaper on 8 November 1920. Rupert's initial purpose was to win sales from the rival Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. The comic strip was, and still is, published daily in the Daily Express, with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released. Mary Tourtel started and ended her life in Canterbury Kent UK - a few miles away from our address, although she travelled a lot and spent a huge part of her life in hotels.
