Badger caught on camera burying cow carcass in world first
A badger has been filmed burying a cow by itself in the Grassy Mountains of Utah.
Astonishing footage captured by a camera trap shows the badger excavating a large hole to contain the remains of a calf carcass in behaviour never witnessed before.
Badgers were known to bury caches of food, such as mice and rabbits, and to scavenge meat from dead animals, but no one had thought they would take on a body that was about four times heavier than they were.
