A comprehensive natural history of one of Britain's favourite
animals The badger has for many years occupied a unique place in
the British consciousness. Despite the fact that most people have
never seen one, the badger has become one of Britain's best-loved
animals. The number of organisations that use the badger as a logo,
the number of websites featuring information about badgers, and the
number of voluntary badger protection societies that exist are
testament to this popularity. In fact, the attitude of most
ordinary people towards badgers is complex and contradictory,
involving a combination of familiarity and ignorance, concern and
indifference. For an increasing number of people, badgers
constitute an important source of interest and pleasure, be it
through watching them in their gardens or in the wild, sharing
badger-related knowledge and experiences with others via the
internet, or defending badgers against threats to their welfare.
For others, on the other hand, badgers are a problem species that
requires active management. In this highly anticipated new study,
Prof Tim Roper explores every aspects of the biology and behaviour
of these fascinating animals. In doing so, he reveals the
complexities of a lifestyle that allows badgers to build
communities in an astonishing variety of habitats, ranging from
pristine forests to city centres. He also reveals the facts behind
the controversy surrounding the badgers' role in transmitting
tuberculosis to cattle, shedding new light on an issue that has
resulted in one of the most extensive wildlife research programmes
ever carried out.
