My name is Brock. I am a badger. I have small ears and short legs. I have five
toes and long, sharp claws. I use my claws for digging. I like to dig in the soil
and find tasty insects and grubs to eat. Earthworms are my favourite food. I
can eat about 200 earthworms in a day!
I live in a burrow underground. My home is called a sett. I have two baby
sisters. They stay in the burrow because they are too small to leave. My mum
says they can leave the burrow when they are bigger. My baby sisters are
called cubs.
