In the Shadows
(2010)
Subject: Badger Dimensions (inches): 24 x 20 Medium: Oil on linen Description: The Badger emerges from his sett as dusk falls. His diet is varied; he eats fruits, seeds, eggs, frogs and rodents. He also feasts on earthworms; if the conditions are correct he can eat as many as 20,000 earthworms in just one year! He keeps his nose close to the ground foraging through the undergrowth. A Badger does not have great eyesight or hearing so depends much on his sense of smell. Did you know a Badger's sense of smell is thought to be 700 times better than a human!
Badger: Species of least concern Lifespan: up to 14 years Interesting fact: A badger is the fastest digging animal on the planet!
