It's old ancient Gaelic name "Brock" shows how the badger has lived in Britain from very early times.
Badgers are home-loving and live in a set which may be centuries old, with many tunnels and openings.
A badger is very houseproud: from time to time it airs its bedding and it digs its own lavatory well away from the sett.
These are a few of the absorbing facts in Alfred Leutscher's vivid and easy-to-read account of our friend Brock the badger, seldom seen owing to its nocturnal habits, but still quite common. He tells about the badger's home, food and family life, the patience required in badger-watching and adds an interesting section on the badger's cousins.
