Thankfully coyotes don’t live in Scotland. 😄 Nor do wallabies, except for on an island in a loch not too far from here that is home to around 60 wild wallabies! I have no experience of what the mating call of a wallaby is - any help here Aussie Peas? 😉

Raccoons can get very noisy and sound like they are having a big fight! They got in our attic one year and would wake us up in the middle of the night. I told my husband "That's not squirrels!"
Luckily we were able to get them out before they had babies.
Two years ago raccoons raised their babies in our next door neighbours' crawl space. They said they were very noisy!

We had something, maybe a coyote, get into a nest of baby foxes behind our house. The screaming was unbearable!!!

Badger orgy for the win! I always laugh at this meme, but now I am thinking differently about British badgers.  This explains a lot. I am thinking why would anyone WANT a badger near them. I have only seen the American badger, and they are tough ombres that I want NOTHING to do with! We had one bend open the bars of a live trap and release itself! One got ran over by our house (wasn't smushed up) , and my DH said let's go look at it "You will never get to see one this close up"... he picked it up with his shovel to get a closer look and the TICKS that started releasing off that thing were horrifying! He tossed it in the ditch as fast as he could. Lordy! Even he was skeeved out by that one. There had to be hundreds of ticks releasing off. |

That American badger looks terrifying! I've never seen or heard a badger in real life but I live in hopes of being invited round for a custard cream soon. hmmm....a badger inviting a human for custard is not something I EVER thought I'd read! Thank you for making me LOL!  Last night was definitely a badger party. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find vodka bottles, beer cans and condoms if I jumped the fence into the gully. 😉 OMG, this thread is HILARIOUS! I've never seen a badger or heard ANY stories about them. Once again, the new things I learn on 2peas! |

Thank you for making me LOL!  Ah, I must clarify here scrappintoee, it’s not custard you’re invited for, it’s a custard cream. Which in the UK is a very popular, but plain sweet 'sandwich' biscuit (as in cookie, not scone  ). |

We shoot them here in Oregon. No hunters or trappers license needed. They create a hazard to livestock, damage crop fields and can cause damage to machinery.

It seems they're pretty different creatures, the American and the UK badgers! |

Absolutely! The meme posted earlier sounds spot on and is very amusing. Maybe not so for those dealing with the meth taking, knife carrying side of the badger family. |

Bless them, they might be celebrating rather than be " naughty naughty" which they do at any time of the year  according to this website, it's a fascinating read. I would invest in some ear buds if I were you Most cubs are born in early to mid-February and will emerge above ground at around 12 weeks. LINK |

I will never look at a Badger (American) the same! This is so apt!  As I said, I keep a big space between me and them. I have really only encountered them at a distance - usually across a creek. They like to dig their dens into the creek or river banks around here. The speed at which they can dig is ferocious! When they are running it looks like a high speed road kill moving. They are very squat and wide. I am out in the great wild outdoors every day.. I have seen 2 live badgers and the one dead one - so encounters are rare, but amazing. I keep a spotting scope in my Gator to look for fun critters. It's amazing how they blend in! |
