The Badger Meles meles is our biggest land predator. It is a member of the Mustelid family, and is related to the Stoat, Weasel and Otter. Adult badgers have no natural predators. The main influences on their survival are competition between themselves and their environment, and human activity; around 50,000 adult badgers are killed each year on the roads, and their alleged implication in the spread of bovine tuberculosis.
