Wild animals in Britain - predators

EmilyGL

The animal in the main photo here is a badger from Scotland. These animals are very easy to recognise because of their black and white striped heads. Badgers live in all sorts of different countryside in Britain from woods to open country and fields. They have a wide diet and eat things from birds' eggs to fruit like plums and pears - if you keep chickens in your garden, you must keep them safe from badgers. Badgers look cute but they are big powerful animals with sharp teeth. Their home is underground, a network of tunnels and burrows called a sett. Badgers keep their home clean and carry away used bedding like dry grass. Baby badgers are called cubs.
 
 
Next we have the fox. This is one of our best known wild animals. The fox traditionally lives in the countryside in both woods and more open country. But the fox has adapted well to towns and urban foxes which scavenge thrown-out food are common. People are more likely now to see them in the town than in the countryside because so many people live in towns and foxes can survive there.
Foxes like to eat rabbits in the wild but they will eat all sorts of other things including voles and little mice. They are most active at dawn and dusk.The fox's home is underground in a den and the little foxes are also called cubs. There are many traditional folk stories about clever foxes.
This is a sentence that contains all the letters of the English alphabet:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
