what are badger young called?

Answer 1

cubs

February is the peak month of the badger's (Meles meles) main mating season, but badgers may in fact mate at almost any time of the year. Badger cubs however are nearly always born in or around February. This is made possible by an unusual feature of the badger's reproductive system called delayed implantation. Once the badger's eggs are fertilized they develop into tiny balls of cells called a blastocysts. These remain suspended in the womb or uterus until something causes them to implant onto the wall of the uterus, when they continue their development normally. No matter when the eggs were fertilized, implantation nearly always occurs in late December or early January. After a further 6 - 7 weeks of 'normal' gestation, most births then occur from late January to early March, with the majority in the first half of February.

Badger litter sizes range from 1 to 5, with litters of 2 or 3 being most frequent. The system of delayed implantation maximises the badger's chances of being successfully mated, and ensures that the cubs are born at the best time of year: after being suckled below ground for eight weeks, they start emerging from the sett in April or early May, which gives them all of spring, summer and autumn to feed, grow, and put on sufficient fat reserves to see them through their first winter.

The male is called a boar, the female a sow, and the young are called cubs. The collective noun for a group of badgers is a cete.
There are a number of old English names for the badger, including: Brock, Pate, Grey, Bawson, and Badget (Norfolk dialect)

Of these names, brock (derived from the Celtic broc) is perhaps the most well known, living on in numerous place names across Britain including Brockhampton, Brockhall, Brockton, and Broxbourne. The other old English names have largely fallen into disuse. Meles is the Latin for badger. The species was at first classified as a bear - described by Linnaeus in 1758 and named as Ursus meles, but later this was changed to Meles meles.
