Yes indeed, and also extremely tough: A friend of mine ran over one with a much heavier car and caraven, doing around 90Km/h. As can be expected he damaged the car, and barely held it on the road. When he went to have a look at the badger, it growled, bared its teeth and walked off into the forest. I expect it died later, but still... 85Kg! :mg: What on earth are badgers eating on that island???? Steroids? Ours weigh in at half as much, max...

haha Claes, badgers here scare the life out of me, they are enormous, we've got a set in the woods behind our house and they make a hell of a racket when they're mating, it really winds my dog up who wants to go and play. Although my dog isnt small, theres no way I'd let him out, they'd rip him to shreds.
We had a baby badger wander into the back garden a few years back. It was about the size of a jack russel! We really weren't sure what to do with it, I had major paranoia that if we took it in to make sure it was alright a gang of p****ed badgers would come and tie me and the wife up and torture us for kidnapping their cub. In the end i put some biscuits outside the back gate and waited till it wandered back into the woods.

That would about meet the 85K, right?
Since I never trafficked, I always have to double check my conversion when it comes to kilos. Anyway, at 13 stone 5, 187 pounds, or 85 kilograms, I suppose that would probably be pretty darn close for Bucky the Badger, big ol' mascot head included. Except for a grizzly bear, I can't think of anything that would scare me more than a 187lb badger. The ones I've encountered in Michigan couldn't have been more than 50lbs and that was scary enough, thank you.

Funny thing about badgers, :topic: back in the day, I married a city boy. One day while out mending fences we came across a badger burrow. I told him what it was and why he should stay clear of it. He didn't. I've never seen a grown man run so fast, or scream so loud. :lmao: hmm, I got a really big kick out of it, could that be part of the reason that we are not together anymore?:notme:

I mentioned this thread to one of my Michigan buddies and he laughingly told me that an enormous Michigan badger only goes about 25lbs. I suppose everything looks twice as big when you are scared out of your wits. That gives me an idea...I'm going home, get starkers, sneak up behind my wife....

Steel, I was going to ask if you were literally mending fences or figuratively mending fences :tg: . But then...

Well, you kinda answered my question.:D

Further animal encounters:

Yesterday I ran my bike over a Grass snake (I'm glad it did not get tangled in the wheels), but it seemed no worse for wear and slithered away in a hurry.

Then one of our production engineers told me that she had done the same thing with a viper...

...and finally a gang of escaped calves put a halt to all train traffic close to our central station. They completely ignored the blaring horn of the train. I suppose they just decided to show the driver who was boss...

Busy day... :lol:
