My Friend: the Badger

There is a small family of badgers near me: Mr. and Mrs. Badger. You only see them very rarely, actually never. The Hoomans have only been able to get very few pictures of them on wildlife cameras in the forest years ago, and the rarest of all pictures show both of them at the same time.

A while ago, Joey went into the forest with his dog at two in the morning, just before they went to work. And suddenly you hear something growling. It sounded like “David”, who growls every now and then when he wants something. But it wasn’t David this time. Instead, a badger darted between the two of them, hid somewhere a few meters away in the bushes and continued to growl. The two of them left him alone.

A few days ago, it was the first time in many, many years that they had a badger on the property. And this time they not only saw his funny walk and wobbly bottom from behind, but also finally his pretty face.
