I think I might be seeing a badger in and out of my backyard. Its black, kinda big and low to the ground. Never when my dogs are out. I haven't noticed any tracks, but its hard to even see my own through the "puppy prints". I know there are badgers in the city and a lot of rabbit around my house. I saw a black head strike out at a rabbit from a bush the other day. It was at least 300 meters down the road so I didn't see clearly. Also from the shape of the yard and the shape of the house, I need to check 3 windows to see the whole yard. I haven't seen the thing well yet.
I know they can be vicious but I don't have any personal experience with them. How much danger are my dogs in when they are in the yard? One is about 70 lbs and smart, the other is about 9 lbs and dumb. On the other side of my wood pile there is a whole in the fence probably about 1 foot x 1 foot at ground level.
Could it be a badger? How much danger is there? Anything I can do until I can get the fence fixed?
