Hundreds of badgers living beneath our feet

. Credit: .

If you live in and around London chances are the only time you've seen a badger is dead by the side of the road.

But you don't have to stray far from the city centre to find an active set, if you know where to look.

To find them, all that's needed is a little bait and it turns out badgers love peanuts.

In fact they're the UK's largest carnivore, even bigger than foxes.

Foxes have over the years have got more used to urban life and badgers are more shy.>Whilst they're more common in the countryside Dave has seen badgers as centrally as Kew, Lewisham and Greenwich.

What we do know is there's probably one underground closer to your home than you think.
