Predatory badgers
Thermal imaging cameras have filmed some unusual badger behaviour that Simon King has never seen before. At first, the images look to be showing a badger digging into a sett, but replaying the action slowly reveals that it is actually pulling young rabbit out of a breeding stop. Simon shows a drawing to explain what a breeding stop is - a special type of tunnel used by mother rabbits to hide their kits. Difficult to detect, unless you've got a badger's sensitive nose.
