Attention needs a tall fence, and a short leash when out on walk. It doesn't need to run free in the park bouncing from one smelly thing to another.

February is cub season for badgers.
Mums with babies only ever go a 500metre distance from their cubs.

If you see a badger newly dead by the roadside please check for lactation (bare area around swollen teats on her underside). *
Her cubs have 24 hours before they leave the set in search of mum, and they will die of hypothermia.

#Oregon #ecologist on state’s efforts to create safe #WildlifeCorridors over busy #roadways

Image: "This undated artist's rendering from the Oregon Department of Transportation shows the design of an overpass crossing for wildlife spanning above four lanes of traffic on I-5, looking southwest. ODOT is expected to begin construction on the crossing in 2028 in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, less than two miles north of the California border."

"The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates 14.5 million wild vertebrate animals are killed on Oregon’s roadways each year. Data shows it’s difficult to control driver behavior with things like road signs and traffic regulations. A more effective way to mitigate animal fatalities is by redirecting the animals themselves.

"#WildlifeCrossings — human-made structures that allow animals to safely pass through habitats near roadways — have been a successful tool in preventing animal-motor fatalities. States like #Montana, #Colorado and #California have over 100 wildlife crossings, while Oregon has only six.

"Rachel Wheat is a spatial ecologist who serves as the wildlife connectivity coordinator for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. She joins us to discuss her work and tactics for improving transportation infrastructure for wildlife in Oregon."
