One of the recurring philosophical questions is:

"Does a falling tree in the forest make a sound when there is no one to hear?"

Which says something about the nature of philosophers, because there is always someone in a forest. It may only be a badger, wondering what that cracking noise was, or a squirrel a bit puzzled by all the scenery going upwards, but someone. At the very least, if it was deep enough in the forest, millions of small gods would have heard it.

Things just happen, one after another. They don't care who knows. But history...ah, history is different. History has to be observed. Otherwise it's not history. It's just...well, things happening one after another.

Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Badgers cause year-long shutdown of railway line in North Rhine-Westphalia

In November 2022, first signs of instability on the railway embankment between Unna and Fröndenberg appeared. Subsequent safety inspections revealed that badgers had dug an extensive network of tunnels several meters underneath the tracks. At least 140 entrances to the badger burrows have been found so far, stretching over a length of 11 km (approx. 7 miles).

Meanwhile, the embankment has deemed to be too unstable to continue train operations due to the activity of the animals. The damage is too extensive to be repaired, so the embankment has to be rebuilt from the scratch. Railway company Deutsche Bahn estimates that planning of the construction works and obtaining the necessary approvals by the authorities will take several years before the actual construction works can begin.

I drew these critters back in 2018, re-posting them here because a lot of people enjoyed them for whatever reasons.

Animal of the Day!

Greater Hog Badger (Arctonyx collaris)

(Photo by Kulpat Saralamba)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Southeastern Asia; Central Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 14 kg; 100 cm; 25 cm tail

Diet- Insects; Small mammals; Fruits; Roots; Worms

Cool Facts- Despite appearances, the greater hog nosed badger is the second largest mustelid and not a pig. Eating practically anything, these badgers spend their days wandering through thick forests and grassland. The greater hog badger uses their sensitive snout to dig through leaf litter in search of delicacies. They are relatively unafraid of people and are often seen waltzing past camera traps without a care in the world. In as few as 15 years, their population has been halved due to illegal poaching and snaring. Conservationists are rushing to put an end to snaring and encourage captive breeding programs.

Rating- 13/10 (Ban snaring worldwide.)
