Animals NativeTo Estonia

The Eurasian Badger is a very uniqueanimal. The young are called a “kit,” thefemales are called a “sow” and the malesare called a “boar”. A group of badgers arecalled a “colony” or “clans”.

They live in large underground cata-combs called “setts”. Badgers inherit settsfrom their parents, who in turn inheritedthem from their parents, and so on. It isbelieved that some setts are centuries old!The setts consist of interlocking tunnelswith nest chambers, toilets and several en-trances. They live in social groups under-ground and continually expand the setts.The Eurasian badger makes it's home inforests or other areas with woody cover. While the badger may live in a for-est it does most of it’s nocturnal foraging out in the open fields.

Eruasian Badgers are grey in color with a black underside and legs. Theirface and neck are white with a black stripe on each side. Their body lengthis 22-35 inches with a tail length of 5 to 8 inches. They weigh between 22-26pounds.

The badger is an omnivore (eats both plants and animals). They mainly feedon earth worms, insects, frogs, birds, lizards, small mammals, fruit, eggs andcarrion.

The CommonCrane is the onlyspecies of cranesin Estonia. It is alarge grey bird thathas black patchesof skin withoutfeathers and somered patches on theback of the head.There is a whiteband on bothsides of it’s headand neck. The billis greenish brownand it’s legs areblack.

When the Com-mon Crane flies, itstretches it’s neck

forward. It also never lands in trees! Cranes feed on plants, berries, stalks, small animals,

frogs, snakes, insects and more. They migrate to NorthAfrica during the winter. Cranes fly in a triangle for-mation. The length of their wingspan is about eightfeet. They return to their familiar nesting places in thespring.

The crane makes it’s nest in open dry land. It lines asmall cavity with straws. They do this in the open be-cause it’s warmer for the young and easier to see dan-ger. The female hatches the eggs after about a month.When the young begin to fly, they look for food togetherwith their parents, but continue to spend nights in thenest.

The Eurasian Otter is a soli-tary creature and is territorial.They den in a riverbank, in aburrow called a ‘holt’ and aremost active at night. Theyhave a slim, mustelid (weasellike) body, with a thick tail thatis fleshy and muscular. Allfour of their feet are webbedand their nostrils and ears canbe closed when it’s in thewater. The otter’s fur is shortand dense, so it keeps theskin dry by trapping a layer of air around the body. The otter is an excellentswimmer and diver.

It feeds on fish, frogs, water birds, voles and other water creatures. Theyare very playful animals and enjoy sliding down a muddy bank!
