Around this time each year, deep underground and amongst the comfort of their cosy nests, baby badgers are welcomed into the world by their doting mothers. When born, badgers weigh around 100g and are little more than 12cm long but these babies will grow up to be the fastest digging animals on earth, eating up to 200 earth worms a day. Amazing.

In around five weeks, their eyes will start to open and they will begin to venture out into the big wide world that awaits them, but little do they know of the dangers they may have to face.
