📝 Quick summary of key information

Why do badgers dig tunnels?

Badgers are amazing animals that love to dig tunnels. These underground tunnels are like homes for them. They provide a safe shelter from predators and bad weather. Badgers sleep, raise their babies, and store food in them.

Badgers build their tunnels with their strong front paws. They dig the earth and push it behind them. These tunnels can be very long and complicated, with many entrances and rooms. You can often find them in forests, meadows, and even in gardens.

Badgers are nighttime animals, which means they are active at night. They eat earthworms, insects, and small mammals. During the day, they rest in their burrows. Badger burrows are important for the environment because they provide a shelter for other animals like hedgehogs and rabbits.

Why do badgers dig tunnels?

Meeting Oscar the Badger

After learning the secrets of silent hunting with Felix the red fox, Nox and Luma suddenly find themselves surrounded by paw prints and decide to follow the clues of their nighttime friends. It is at this moment that they meet again the young animal named Oscar the Badger, who this time seems very eager to take them to a mysterious place.

Oscar the Badger, all excited, says:
« Come quickly, I want to show you something. »

Nox, curious, asks:
« What are you doing, Oscar the Badger? »

Oscar the Badger, while digging with energy, explains: « I am digging‎ (1) my burrow. It is my shelter. »

Soon after, Oscar the Badger's strong, digging paws come into view. He uses his claws to dig into the ground. Worms, insects, roots, tubers‎ (2), berries, fruits, mushrooms, frogs, lizards, small mammals‎ (3), eggs, snakes, snails, slugs, toads, tadpoles, larvae‎ (4), caterpillars, spiders, centipedes‎ (5), pill bugs, ants, beetles‎ (6), grasshoppers, crickets, locusts, flies, bees, wasps, hornets, gnats, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, bugs, aphids, fleas, ticks, and mites are found, making up part of the badger's food.

Luma, curious about Oscar the Badger's work, asks:
« What is a burrow, Oscar the Badger? »

Oscar the Badger, while still digging, explains:
« It's a long tunnel underground. There are rooms for sleeping, eating, and hiding. »

Oscar the Badger shows them a strange stone he found underground. Could it be a piece of the mysterious secret hidden under the moon?

The Mystery Stone Discovery

Nox and Luma, curious, look at the stone more closely. It glows softly under the moonlight, showing bright patterns that seem to dance.

Nox, curious, asks:
« What is this stone, Oscar the Badger? »

Oscar the Badger, with a mysterious smile, explains:
« It's a magic stone. It has special powers. »

Luma, with her eyes wide open, asks:
« What powers? »

Oscar the Badger, with a mysterious smile, explains:
« It can guide you to hidden places. It can reveal buried secrets. »

Nox and Luma, fascinated, decide to follow Oscar the Badger to learn more about this mysterious stone. They head to Oscar the Badger's burrow, where he thinks the stone might reveal its secrets.

After listening to Oscar the Badger with curiosity, Nox and Luma head back to the path lit by fireflies, intrigued by the strange stone found underground. Their adventure continues as they make their way to the Glowing Cave, hoping to uncover the secrets of the mysterious stone. The night is still young, and new discoveries await them in the depths of the cave.
