Book
Badger
Viewed as fierce, menacing or mysterious, badgers have been both admired and reviled throughout human history. Their global reputation for ferocious self-defence has led to brutalization by hunters and sport-seekers; their association with the mythic underworld has made them symbols of earth-based wisdom and steadfast tradition; their burrowing and predation habits have resulted in widespread persecution as pests or public nuisances. From the iconic European badger to the African honey badger, the hog badger of Southeast Asia and the North American badger, this is the first global cultural history of the animal in over 30 years. Filled with illustrations, Badger considers the lives, lore and imperilled status of badgers across the world.
