  Bodger a badger botherer?
  1. Spaghetti Hoop February 13, 2015 at 10:27 am
    
    There be bad badger-botherin’ brothers around but not Bodger.

Badgers are 1 down from foxes on the awesome animals scale

Joe the Lion February 13, 2015 at 10:14 am

1. Pine Marten
2. Arctic Fox
3. Wild Boar
4. Badger
5. Fox – who is only really a glorified dog IMHO

The Moa is also a personal favourite of mine – shame you guys ate them all.
1. Don Pidgeoni February 13, 2015 at 10:23 am
  
  Moas are clearly idiots.
  
  1.Foxes
  2.Badgers
  3.Ducks – because ducks are awesome
  
  I need time to think about 4 and 5. This is a very serious list and I won’t be rushed.
  1. Joe the Lion February 13, 2015 at 10:25 am
    
    Moas were just too nice for their own good
    
    They were so evolved and their civilisation had advanced so much that they did not even need to fly any more and you guys just couldn’t help yourselves, could you? You disgust me.
  2. Joe the Lion February 13, 2015 at 10:26 am
    
    I agree with you on ducks by the way but that’s a separate list – birds. Moas – I’m not sure which list they should be on. I also like an oul brent goose so I do.
    1. Don Pidgeoni February 13, 2015 at 10:29 am
      
      Nah, ducks are cool, they are definitely top 5. You are proposing too many lists. Moas should technically be on the top 5 extinct birds list
    2. Joe the Lion February 13, 2015 at 10:31 am
      
      I notice you don’t deny culpability for mass moaslaughter
    3. Don Pidgeoni February 13, 2015 at 10:34 am
      
      Unless I had a time machine how could I? Though I guess I can stand up for all moderate non-Moa eating NZers worldwide if I must

      Moa baby-killer!

      I imagine this is pretty much how an editorial meeting over on Buzzfeed works
2. joe cool February 13, 2015 at 1:00 pm
  
  for shame…you’ve missed out on
  A. The mongoose
  b. The Honey Badger
  
  2 animals that are the absolute bosses of the animal world

…nah…badgers above foxes but below otters and hares…and red squirrels.
1. Don Pidgeoni February 13, 2015 at 10:37 am
  
  Otters! Totally forgot them! Sea or river? I would like to add robins to my list also
Mick Flavin February 13, 2015 at 10:37 am

1: Bush Baby
2: Chinchilla
3: The fish in the Amazon that swims up peeing willies.

Rabies?

Don Pidgeoni February 13, 2015 at 10:24 am

Apparently no rabies in Ireland since the 1900s, so I think we will be fine. TB maybe.
Mani February 13, 2015 at 10:36 am

No thanks, I’m full.

Tannoy February 13, 2015 at 10:17 am

What more evidence do we need that climate change is destroying our planet?! This is so unnatural…

fFs February 13, 2015 at 10:22 am

If you see’em out in daylight hours, it’s pretty sure they’re very sick with TB – call wildlife services
1. joe cool February 13, 2015 at 1:01 pm
  
  Or he just maybe..maybe out for a mid morning stroll?
Mikeyfex February 13, 2015 at 10:24 am

Stop collecting data everyone, we got ourselves a picture of a badger up during the day.

*rapturous applause in control room*
1. Mick Flavin February 13, 2015 at 10:38 am
  
  Haha!

Nibbers February 13, 2015 at 10:57 am

That’s my friend Donal.

joey the lippo February 13, 2015 at 12:34 pm

two things: badgers hibernate and are nocturnal. highly likely this animal is seriously ill.

Celine February 13, 2015 at 12:53 pm

I hope not! I took the pic first thing this morning – sun had just come up. I was reading that they are active at dusk and dawn, which may explain it. He was pottering around the grass, I’m guessing looking for worms, but he was pretty active in any case.

  There’s a word for that. Crepescular. Lovely word. Also applies to cats.
