39TDS Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 i have seen four of them over the years but nobody believes me. Well here is a pic. This is roadkill and the second one I have seen, the first one disappeared quick probably for stuffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Sure, I have seen them mate. Some call them strawberry. But iI think the soil colour has something to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 theres a lot of red sandstone in the OPs cheshire Yes but not particularly where this was. I have seen them alongside black and white ones (as most of them are) and I don't think it is anything to do with the soil. Just one of those variations that occur naturally.

lurchers Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've heard there's something to do with the soil where they are but my mate (God rest his sole) seen a white one up here in the northeast a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Soil colours will stain the fur, as it does with earth dogs. You will always get light coloured animal's somewhere along the breeding, its a genetic disorder, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Saw several badger relatives yesterday at the Exotic Animal day....namely, Skunks. Lots of colour variations with skunks....pure white, pure sand, lilac & white, brown & white, traditional black & white..etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 It can't possibly be the soil. If it was the white fur would change colour, not the black fur. As said, it is one of those genetic things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Slightly gruesome I know but I took this shot of a roadkill red badger a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
