Anyone else ever seen a live badger?

Seen many on woodland roads on the North Downs in Surrey, plus occasionally have one in my front garden.
A friend works at sanctuary, and through her I've had an opportunity to bottle-feed a baby badger. The cuuuuutest!!!!!!

yes, on the whole more dead ones than live ones sadly over the years, but certainly seen them and not always in remotely wild places either, in fact several in our neighbourhood think theres some living on the heathland near by, but who visit our more urban area gardens at night, though I do wonder if theyre mistaking them for foxes alot of the time, but Ive seen the pictures shared on our local facebook group from one of those Springwatch style trail cams, and it was for sure a badger, so theyre definitely about.

Only when she opened her legs...



... Anyway... I have only seen real badgers as taxidermy specimens or once dead on a railway track in Kent. 😏

Sadly only a few dead ones. Same for hedgehogs in recent years.

Couple of years ago, on a vacation back there, was fortunate to see an otter on the Kennet, virtually in Reading town centre.

I actually saw a beaver last night. Oh err missus.
Swimming in a lake at the end of my garden. (I am currently renting a lakeside Airbnb in Canada)
Not a great photo but it was very dark.

I see them quite often here in Denmark. Always very early in the morning. I once had one run alongside of me for about 200m when I was riding a recumbent trike.
