Beardo Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Was out and about this morning with the wife when she pointed out a creature that had been hit by the side of the road, it was about the size of a fox but had longer hair, ginger to black. The paws looked like a badgers and leg length looked similar. Couldn't see much of the head, i think it had been hit there. It was on a fairly busy road so i couldn't really have a good look, but will try tomorrow as it's on the way to my shoot and i'll take my camera. Any ideas?

Baldrick Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's a badger. A driver squashed on the village road squashed a 'ginger' badger on Friday. The first time I drove past it I wasn't sure if it was a fox, a stumpy orangoutan or a Norfolk terrier. So I got out an had a look: it was 100% badger. The orangey tint was undercoat.

fo5ter Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Where i live they arent that rare - most of the dead badgers by the road around me are ginger badgers - suppose they might be a bit rarer now though as a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
