he wasn't chasing them,
he was badgering them
This has to be the top comment!😂😂😂
@@mick2d2 lol
😅😂
Boom!! There it is!! Thx fdent 😂😂😂
ahahahah
Love when the boy says, “They’re evolving!” when it crosses the bridge! 😂
I thought that was the best part of the video...
@@Susweca5569 me too
I love kids 😂
what a line at the right time, very good and very funny
@@angelwings7930nonce.
I had totally forgotten the law strictly prohibits badgers from loitering in broad daylight.
None of the badgers are law-abiding, which is why we end up forgetting that that law even exists.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pesky badgers
Someone throw that thing a lambchop 😊 I've had this happen in the US, one followed me for 1/mile, and I finally started a jog and it got distracted :)
@@PDXDrumr You should have give her some sausage.
That's the calmest menace i have ever seen
That's the part that's menacing. Lol
badger goes out for a stroll,
and everyone "FREAKS OUT"
Badger 1 Humans 0
How often do you see a badger
haha i know right. imagine being scared of rabies
Badger is just enjoying a walk through the park.
I think he was out for his daily troll...😉
Badger was out for food and a small dog like that is easy pray thankfully the dogs are with humans.
“Get across the water!”
“They’re evolving!” 🤣👏
They're evolving 😂😭🤣 had me in stitches
…to further prove his point the badger proceeded to walk on water…
😂😂
😂😂😂
He’s more than a badger, he’s Jesus.
😂😅@@righteousbrother9402
It'll be flying next!
His happy trotting is hilarious
Right I'm over here busting up laughing at that tiny body and legs just bouncing like that.
@@BRev673You should see them galumphing (genuine technical term)!
I was told once that unusual friendliness is a symptom of rabies.
This kid has a better sense of humour than most adults I know.
Back in the 80's one dark morning I was taking my two Staffies for a riverside walk when I heard lots of snuffling and growling I thought they were playing with another dog when I suddenly realised they had been playing with a badger, this lasted for a few minutes then I called them away to go home, the badger stood and watched us walk away, so cute!
You lost me at "back in the 80s"
I wouldn't call that "chasing"...
... to me it's more like he was out for his daily stroll and people happened to be in his way.
(zero fucks given, as the saying goes)
He wants to play with someone, but everyone is avoiding him :(
Thats what I was thinking xD
Ya, definitely was someones pet who had dogs and released it. I've been chased by badgers before from accidentally stumbling across dens and there is nothing calm about it. You run as fast as you can because they are fast and don't mess around. He thinks he is on a walk and looking for treats.
I would have been like
"If you don't have a badge then quit badgering me".....🏃🦡😂
What a Magnificant Creature🙏🏾Thankyou Lord Jesus Christ for your creation ❤
That badger would f- both those dogs up; badgers are part of the weasel family yeah-and them weasels don’t play;
Haha the kid “they’re evolving!” when badger crosses the water
I love how the girl with the French bulldog thinks the badger is in more danger than her dog 😂😂😂😂
It is. Have you never heard of badger baiting. Ie badgers being forced to fight much bigger and more aggressive dogs than a Frenchie.
Badgers can be very vicious when threatened
@@stupidhandlesYou misread the comment you responded to. They were saying that the badger would be more dangerous.
@@stupidhandlesyou need to learn how to read, dawg.
@@stupidhandles, the dogs were not “much bigger” than the badger in badger-baiting. The dogs used were Pit Bulls - actually the breed is the current *working strain* Staffordshire Bull Terrier (which is called the “Irish Staffie”). They (Irish Staffies - not the Kennel Club variants) were and remain badger-baiting and pit dogs par excellence.
Bagders have acid for blood and can puff up 3000 times there body size and have very dangerous claws and 1 tooth at the back of its mouth 10 inches long that can slice through granite. Stone masions use to use them to carve names into head stones years ago.
This has to be the slowest and most nonchalant "chasing" I've ever seen, more like "badger not giving a toss that the dogs are there and making stupid noises"
Yeah, it looks less like chasing and more like the badger is going on its daily stroll!
It was more like he was "" badgering"them a bit.
"not giving a toss" I like it.
It was after food, someone has been feeding it, it found something in the undergrowth and then was off.
@@Rebelconformist82 hahahaha 😂 I like daft jokes like that ......
The badger isn't "chasing" the people or the dogs, he's just following them. He/she was maybe a rescue badger and so very used to people.
That’s a cool theory. I wouldn’t want to test it. Badgers have a powerful bite
How dare you assume the badgers gender! Shame on you! 🌚
Hoping it turns out well, badgers being nocturnal something may be wrong.
Yeah my thoughts also. Seemed like it wanted to be friends.
@@maxbacon4828As with foxes, badgers are mainly nocturnal, but not exclusively. If they need to find food, whether because it's scarce or they have babies to feed, they will come out in daylight.
How extraordinary! I've never seen a badger in daylight
UA-cam can make you see them even at dawn or 24/7. 😂
I've seen them in the twilight hours, but yeah. This is very strange. So friendly too. There's quite a few where I live and they run off at the sight of humans.
Really? Have them on a regular basis where we live. Years ago a neighbour rescued one and it lived in his back garden in a pen. It must have been a dog in his previous life as he had a daily walk on a lead , better behaved than most dogs and enjoyed a night out in the local pub with a pint of beer. 🙏
@@ThEhObBiT1959 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A pint of Badger, I trust!@@ThEhObBiT1959
"They're evolving!" was a great joke from that one kid
Brilliant😂
Badger goes for a walk and everyone is trying to escape 😭😔... no aggression at all.
exactly
except they carry communicable diseases
''Barry'' was clearly in control as he would have been growling and screaming when angry.
He was just 'sussing'' out the intruders to his turf.
They have a really deep growl and a high pitched scream when they get annoyed.
And he was just trotting along, as they have a very fast turn of speed when they need it.
He looked quite young as well as the older the European Badger gets the darker grey their fur gets.
Very clever chaps, and really are fascinating when you study what they can do and the ways they go about it.
I could sit for hours watching nature especially Badgers and foxes, just stunning creatures.
...No, they're not.
We run a nightly Food to Go service for a very large clientele of foxes & badgers in the country park where we live. Peanut butter sandwiches are the most popular nosh. And yes, they are indeed beautiful, interesting, intelligent, resourceful & resilient beasties.
Yes they are !@@alexg1778
Some years ago one summer I was sat in my front room with the window open when I heard a trip trapping sound outside. It got louder and louder, and after maybe 20 seconds a badger trotted by in broad daylight down the middle of our suburban street. After maybe another 20 or 30 seconds he rounded a corner and disappeared from sight. No dog walkers were out. Just a badger doing its thing. I still live in the same house and often look out the front window in hope of seeing him again. Sadly, as of yet, to no avail.
Put some bird seed and bird nuts out you will see the badger again. Mine eventually came in the house after I had been feeding for a year or do - just yo have a little mooch and find the sack of nuts .even sat on the sill of the French window couple if times ...
But if I put food out on a cat fish they pinched the fishes and took them into the woods up the way. 🐾🐾
Wow!
I don't understand how dogs visually recognize even the strangest breeds as their own species, but they instantly know that a fox or a jackal on sight
Dogs have poor eyesight, they mainly rely on their olfactory sense to distinguish animals (in this case the badger doesn’t smell like a dog).
@@mr.curlystache8132 true, but it's crazy how they can spot a chihuaha from like a hundred meters away lol
@@Dmdm_dmThey smell the insanity of chihuahua coming.
@@mr.curlystache8132Newsflash Einstein you're wrong. Speak English next time you try to sound smart.
@@mr.curlystache8132dogs don’t have poor eyesight 😂
Is the badger ok? I don’t think it’s usual to see them in daylight. I wonder if it’s sick.
Maybe just very annoyed :D
Rabies onset?
@@erickrueger2869there’s no rabies in the Uk.
It’s more than likely orphaned and is seeking out company. It looks quite young
Badgers are mostly nocturnal, but not entirely
Maybe it’s trying to ask for help and everyone’s just running away lol
😂😂😂 the badger seem confused like why everyone running away from me 😂😂
Doing no harm. Just curious. Beautiful animals xxx
I was definitely rooting for the badger.
Why?
Badgers are cute, I know I have a family living at the far end of my garden and I fed them nightly and often by hand. As for them being aggressive, forget it as they are timid, unless of course you provoke them or corner them so they can't run away which is their preferred action.
@@bluewave2024 I bet you would have wet yourself first.
😂😂😂😂😂 same. Stupid Pathetic lost people 😂😂
@@bluewave2024 Badger would of smoked your dog.
Wow. Really cool to see a badger in broad daylight
It could be sick, Badgers carry TB in the UK.
It's got rabies. Cheers!
@@Fuckyoutubethenazis I was just kidding. BTW, make sure to keep the rabies out -- it's *very* nasty.
@@groaningmole4338 there is no rabies in the uk
@@danniledger3603Yes, we've established that.
That badger wanted a family!
He was walking like the dogs were!
He thought he was a part of the domesticated "park scene"
man!
If that badger was mad everyone and animals would have known it,LOL.❤
No the badger it chasing them away from a near by set (burrow) most likely
Wonderful creature
Its not being aggressive. It had multiple opportunities to aytack.
Looks a young line male (Boar) been chucked out the Sett by the dominant Boar (father).
A young male on its own totally lost in the big wide world and confused !
Amazing considering how rare it is to see a badger.
My neighbour, Mr. Brock owns 2 of them...
Depends where you live. I live in the city of Bath, England and we get them hanging out in our garden...
They’re not “rare”. I see them in the nature channel all the time!
Loads here in the West Country.
@@coreyjennings4910 I must be blind then. I live in the west country, and I've seen foxes, deer, hedgehogs and shrews. But never a Badger.
Not exactly chasing them. Was just out for a wee stroll 😊
That’s a youngster who probably recently lost its mum they do that quite commonly, I’ve had them follow me round for ages
It looks like I based my comment on yours, but I hadn’t seen yours until after I’d put mine up. Anyway - I do agree with you. I don’t know badgers but it seems like the most likely explanation.
The kid with the high pitch voice who annunciates like an adult and shouts "advice": that kid needs to be put in movies, hes hilarious!
Typical British person, able to actually speak English properly…often sounds exceptional to Americans
@@chir0pterI always find it hilarious how a common English accent can sound posh and well spoken by Americans. 😂
Enunciates*.
That badger looked like it was following them, not chasing them. It didn’t look at all aggressive
Can remember me and my partner had moved to a certain town.. and I had met a guy who became my mate . He would sometimes leave my house at night and he would always tell me about how there was a badger in the way . He kept going on about it and I never seen any badgers around I began to think he was making it up😂. I will never forget it.. walking home one night I walk into my street and a huuuge badger.. alot bigger than the one in the video was just staring at me standing still. I stood and stared back.. I kept my eye on that thing and only glanced over at a 6ft fence thinking I'm going over that fucker if that thing comes near me😂.. I was all good though the badger spared me. What a laugh I had with my pal😅
Are you light in the loafers?
@@LucicPower nah man I have a beautiful girlfriend .
He's not chasing after; he is tagging along, and no one wants him.
🤣
He’s a juvenile trying to play, he’s probably been around humans a lot and probably been hand fed so isn’t timid.
Pretty extraordinary behaviour, although the badger clearly wasnt 'chasing' anything.
Just putting his thing down ....probably had enough of the barking , decided to take the dogs up on it
Seems to me that he clearly was.
following in curiosity is not chasing. @@Vingul
@@folkq I get your point.
@@folkq Probably got used to people throwing it food to get rid of it.
Hope the badger is fine. Badgers usually only get out in the day when desperate for food.
At last a sensible comment.
1000%. He is very tame and very hungry. You can tell by the prance vs staunch.
Even came into contact with the dog and did NOTHING.
A wild Harley spotting!
I have quite a few badgers and while they are strange animals, I have never seen one do that. I wonder if it’s a young and confused badger just kicked out of the den or something could be wrong with it.
Ja das habe ich mich auch gefragt. Sieht aus als ob er Anschluss sucht, aber so ein Verhalten ist für ein Wildtier ganz und gar ungewöhnlich
Looked like it had been at a rave all night to me.
It's confidence around people makes me think it may have been hand reared and released into the wild or perhaps rehabilitated from injury at a rescue centre.
I saw one in a Town at 3 o’clock in the morning once it came running towards me and my Dog but then veered off to the side and disappeared it didn’t mean any harm most animals won’t hurt you if you give them space.
If I saw that 3 o'clock in the morning with nobody about I would of set the dog on it 😢 true story 😅
Amazed the people are so nonchalant. “I’ll just stroll along with this badger inches away.” Those things can do DAMAGE
Aw how cute 😍
I've never seen a badger alive so this is wonderful to see
Not if you were there in person.
@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv
What an odd thing to say. Yes if I was there in person, it would have made my day
@AJ-yu8qq I wasn't meaning to be disrespectful. And I apologise if I offended you. It's just that I always thought of badgers as peaceful docile creatures. In this situation the badge seemed to feel it needed to assert itself. It wasn't at all put off by the dogs. I did a little more searching and it seems that if they feel threatened they will attack/bite. It looks like here the badger may have felt it had to attack and so it may have seemed scary if one was there in person. However as you were there in person you had a clearer perception that it was harmless.
Update - Duh! I just saw you said if you were there. I'll have to stop responding to things in early hours!
No worries not offended.
Haha yes maybe get some sleep instead 😴
"They're Evolving!" im dead, it was even funnier in British.
“They’re Evolving!”, brilliant, only the boy understands …..
the only one with a sense of humor
First thing that comes to mind seeing a Badger in the daylight, acting strange, is Rabies. But he didnt look aggressive. Still best to stay away in my opinion.
yet my thought exactly , people seem to think that rabies isnt a thing in the UK and it is VERY rare but bats can transmit it and if this badger has somehow come into contact with a dying bat or somthing and got bitten it could have rabies (or the slightly different varient Uk bats have) a british bat expert died of a type of rabies not that long ago after being bitten and not getting it checked.
looked it up its called European Bat Lyssavirus and 0.2 percent of all british bats are carriers.
Dogs go into or near the setts and annoy the badgers - badgers are VERY aggressive animals. They will chase dogs at any time. It's not rabies. We have a big problem in the UK with too many people owning dogs and taking them into nature reserves and parks and upsetting the wildlife.
He's probably hungry. Poor thing. ❤
It seemed to me that the badger was heading towards which ever dogs were nearest, and it certainly wasn’t aggressive.
Is it not possible that the badger is partially sighted and is heading towards other animals of the same approximate size (i.e. the dogs) because he is trying to find its family?
even British Badges look fancy. they look so funny xD
Dog kept looking back like "I don't remember a badger going out on a walk when we first started this."
Badger's not at all phased by the dogs' lurching and barking. He's certainly not the aggressor here in his natural environment. Just beautiful.
He is definitely the aggressor, and a park made by humans is not his natural environment.
@@TransoceanicOutreach
Your comment is total hogwash...! Explaine how a wild Badger supposed to know the difference?
Fairly unusual to see one out in daylight, i have only once seen one of mine before nightfall. I wonder if this one was an escaped tame or domesticated one.
I was thinking that
Or one with rabies ?
@@user-zx7ws7np4o not in Britain, we don't have it here! The advantage of living on an island with strict controls on entry, at least for animals.
Nice. Where I live if you see a nocturnal animal in the daytime, more than likely it has rabies@@chrisstephens6673
That's a rabid Badger, they are nocturnal hunters, stay the fuk away, get a gun and shoot it.
That's one ticked off Badger.
They are very territorial, and can be very aggressive food hunters.
🟦... The badger seems quite laid back and not being territorially aggressive at ALL.
@joshhayl7459 no, not at all, as he continues to follow closely to the dogs and people... lol not territorial at all.
"Get across the water"!! Love her!
He's brave, likes to go for a walk with the dogs.
I wonder if that is a mother protecting her babies?
He's really badgering them!
"Oh! Put your dog on a leash, there's a badger..."😂
Dude just wanted to hang out. Curious. I've seen vicious badgers before, and they're very aggressive, and growl and hiss. This guy just wanted to party. Lol!
Der Dachs war sehr neugierig was in seinem Revier herumrennt ! Schönes Wochenende
Badgers normally have a neutral attitude towards people. They normally don’t view people as any kind of threat to them. I don’t know if rabies is endemic to the UK. However, I would be concerned that an animal acting this way could be rabid.
Rabies is common in bats
Not rabies they’re just fucking mental
@@ironfront9573 false, in the UK rabies is very rare in bats, that said bats are the only species in the UK which does carry rabies
@@richardschiffman6418Anything can carry Rabies. Any mammal.
Yh mb it just starting to b sick and just behaves a lil weird only for now
That badger knows its protected by law and its taking full advantage of it😂
Something looked to be wrong with that badger. Very odd behavior.
Rabies
Badgers are absolutely fearless. They will attack a horse if they feel threatened. Those people, and dogs really didn't appreciate how much danger they would be in if they hadn't acknowledged the badger's dominance.
Other way around - The dog it was following would have killed it in seconds. These english badgers are a joke compared to american same goes with the human population
Are you kidding? The minute the smaller dog attacked the badger, it ran away. He's giving badgers a bad name.
Badgers are powerless against a solid kick to the face, it's simple physics. You kick something that weighs the same as a badger, it flies. If it comes back, just think of it as a self-returning soccer ball and continue until the self-return feature stops working.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper badgers have a bite force that can break your ankle but go off😂 clown
It makes me laugh how people think or it’s only a badger it won’t be able to do anything are used to go lamping in the night time and my dog accidentally came across a badger and we heard scuffle and we ran down and the badger was attacking my dog my dog put up an amazing fight but had half of its face reconstructed after the badger peeled the skin from its face I don’t have any photos on this phone but you could only imagine the damage it has given they are mean lean fighting machines and don’t give a shit about anything or anyone not and animal to be messed with.
He was just on his daily commute to work
‘Badger taking a stroll when noisy dogs and people are in its path.’ 😂
Ive got a good idea guys, why dont we all pretend we are badger experts in comments section, to massage our egos??!!
Animal behaviour is like a Rorschach test
You have to understand that they are virtually blind and just following sense of smell
I've tried but I don't understand. What is going to happen to me?
We don’t have to.
@@Dellvmnyam it's a figurative comment.
@@aaaatttt101 mine too
@@Dellvmnyam not mine. Shortly after writing that I didn't understand several men showed up at my door and demanded that I write an essay about badgers and their sense of smell. Again I admitted that I can't because I don't understand. They said that's it and they threw the cuffs on me and I've been in a small cell since with zero hope of getting out. You really do have to understand.
You don't want to mess with a badger. They may be small, but they are immensely strong, with sharp teeth and claws. They are very territorial. That little one means business, chasing to say, GO AWAY!!! Its probably a young one establishing its territory.
Just NO! That badger is showing no signs of aggression whatsoever.
@@Monkeyspanner69 You are obviously an expert & see this often!. Then i have seen what one can do to a dog when it means business.
@@kevinparker461 I am, I have first hand experience of wild badgers. I cannot comment on the incident you are referring to, because: a) I wasn't there to witness it; b) I haven't seen any footage of it.

Won't be long before Mr badger evolves to having a little badger mobile😉🤗🤗
he just wanted to socialize, make friends, play and be fed...
Awe he is looking for friends he has been tamed….. little cuties not being vicious
Badgers are nocturnal. If one is out during the day, it probably has a problem and is likely injured. This should be reported to DWR or equivalent (in my state it's DWR: Division of Wildlife Resources).
Badger is like come on people keep it moving ,l want my peace
"They're evolving!" lol
The little boy and who I take to be his dad saying to stay back seem to be the most sensible ones there, along with the girl who calmly walked away over the stepping stones.
Badger's like "Excuse me.. excuse me .. hellloooo .. whoever owns the gray Honda your lights are on"
He’s wondering why nobody checked in with him just check in bro
I've had two badgers turn up in my garden (Luton) and tear up parts of my new lawn, presumably looking for leather jackets and other prey. Wouldn't have believed it was a badger if it wasn't for the CCTV capturing them.
They dug under the fence and tunneled into my garden. We blocked the entrances which appears to have stopped them.
Might be just digging a latrine. They tend to use the same ones over and over, like ourselves.
@@gearoiddomI don't think they're digging latrines. They've dug under the fences to get into the garden, and I've watched them use their snouts to push into the grass like they're looking for something to eat. It rained a lot recently, so I'm guessing they're looking for worms to surface.
What are “leather jackets” in this context?
@@richardkallio3868crane fly larvae. A nice snack for many, but not you and I 😄
I wouldn’t do it as it’s probably illegal but I’ve heard that a battery powered electric fence around the lawn does the trick. A couple of tingles from that on their snout for 3 or 4 nights on the trot is enough to get them to change their feeding route for several years. Once they stop visiting you can take it down. It really doesn’t hurt them, so I’ve heard, indeed I’ve given myself a couple of shocks by mistake, it’s only about 12V. At one point my lawn was looking worse than the front line in Ukraine, as well as feeding there they also dug themselves a latrine.
Chasing? It's just out for a walk.
I love how he keeps a steady pace untill he reaches grass

@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo Are you suggesting that my comment is incorrect (not "a statement of fact")?
@@G.D71 No, my statement of fact is based on extensive knowledge of the subject, the badger here was raised in captivity, but it would have no trouble killing these dogs.
Badger by name....Badger by nature.😂
Yeah stop Badgering everyone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I dont know about "chase", more like he seems to be asking for cookies
Not many people know, but badgers are really hardcore animals, they may absolutely fight and inflict a ton of damage to larger predators, there is even a clip it fighting off a wolverine, wolverine decided to let it go, probably wasn't too hungry, but still. Badger in fight mode can absolutely have a chance to defeat a dog
strange how the biggest of the badgers is also the most chilled out of them all
Here in the USA, uncharacteristic aggressive or social behavior in wild animals could be considered a possible sign of rabies and warrants extreme caution as well as recommends notification of authorities, but in the UK, rabies is very unlikely. The badger seems habituated to humans and obviously utterly fearless of dogs. I kind of want to pet it, give it a cuddle. It looks like it wants to be friends, a beautiful animal. That French bulldog could have been ripped to pieces in a flash, if that were the badger's intent. That little Frenchie would have been up in my arms, if it were mine an we would have been running away to avoid any regrets later.
I'm extremely concerned that something wasn't right with the badger. Could she/ he have been displaced? Needed support? Worrying 😢
It needed a badger counsellor
Wondering the same thing. Maybe raised by humans and just set free?
@@kathleenjeter I think it’s probably orphaned. It looks quite young, it’s probably following anything that it thinks will take care of it or help it take care of itself
@@xgreenjacket that makes a lot of sense also. Sad isn't it
@@kathleenjeter yes, and nobody seemed to be doing anything proactive about it. But hopefully wildlife rescue got wind of the story and the problem was resolved. Badgers can be a huge problem for the countryside and for farmers these days. But no animal should suffer

That’s a VERY tame badger. Would be able to pat it. It’s looking for a free snack.
