A sow badger grooming in a forest clearing after emerging from the sett. When first emerging each evening most badgers are at their most cautious and will quickly disappear below ground upon hearing or smelling anything out of the ordinary. However, after several minutes they soon settle down and start grooming themselves before moving on to explore and forage the surrounding countryside.
