Badger Erythristic Badgers

Albino Badger - Photo © Copyright 2004 Helen Taylor
Photo: Helen Taylor


Most badgers have a black and white striped face, small white-tipped ears and a grey body. As you can see from the photo, this one, which visits the garden of Helen Taylor in Kent, is different. It has pink or slightly reddish coloured hair. This is known as an "Erythristic" badger.

Erythristic badgers have a slight genetic difference to other badgers. It is sometimes referred to as "rufous".

Some badgers seen in Britain are albino. They have cream or off-white coloured fur.
