Editing Badger (section)

==Behaviour==
{{expand section|date=August 2016}}
The behaviour of badgers differs by family, but all shelter underground, living in burrows called [[sett]]s, which may be very extensive.  Some are solitary, moving from home to home, while others are known to form clans called cetes.  [[Group size measures|Cete size]] is variable from two to 15.

Badgers can run or [[Gait|gallop]] at {{Convert|25|–|30|km/h|mph|abbr=on|sigfig=2}} for short periods of time. Some species, notably the [[honey badger]], can climb well. In March 2024, scientists released footage of a wild [[Asian badger]] climbing a tree to a height of 2.5 m in South Korea.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Elves-Powell |first1=Joshua |last2=Dobson |first2=Chad R. |last3=Axmacher |first3=Jan C. |last4=Durant |first4=Sarah M. |title=Records of climbing by Asian Badger Meles leucurus in the Republic of Korea |url=https://smallcarnivoreconservation.com/index.php/sccg/article/view/5752/6252 |journal=Small Carnivore Conservation |volume=62 |pages=e62002}}</ref> Badgers are [[Nocturnality|nocturnal]].<ref name="nocturnal">{{cite web| url=http://www.ksr.ku.edu/libres/Mammals_of_Kansas/badger.html| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060814214205/http://www.ksr.ku.edu/libres/Mammals_of_Kansas/badger.html| url-status=dead| archive-date=14 August 2006| title=Badger| work=Kansas University.

In North America, [[coyote]]s sometimes eat badgers and vice versa, but the majority of their interactions seem to be mutual or neutral.<ref>{{cite journal|vauthors=Kiliaan HP, Mamo C, Paquet PC | year=1991| title= A Coyote, ''Canis latrans'', and Badger, ''Taxidea taxus'', interaction near Cypress Hills Provincial Park, Alberta| journal=Canadian Field-Naturalist| volume=105| pages=122–12| doi=10.5962/p.357965| doi-access=free}}</ref>  American badgers and coyotes have been seen hunting together in a cooperative fashion.<ref>{{cite journal| author=Cahalane VH | year=1950| title= Badger-coyote "partnerships"| journal=Journal of Mammalogy| volume=31| issue=3| pages= 354–355| doi = 10.1093/jmammal/31.3.354-a }}</ref>
