Natural Predators:
* Red Fox: Especially young badgers, they are a common predator.
* Wild Boar: Can be a threat to badgers, particularly in areas where they overlap.
* Dogs: Domestic dogs can pose a danger to badgers if they are not kept on leashes.
* Large Birds of Prey: Eagles and owls have been known to attack badgers, especially young or injured ones.
Other Threats:
* Humans: Hunting and habitat loss are major threats to badgers.
* Road Traffic: Road accidents are a significant source of mortality for badgers.
It's important to note that badgers are generally well-adapted to avoid predators and have a strong social structure that helps them to protect themselves.
