A sett or set is a badger's
den. It usually consists of a network of tunnels and numerous
entrances. The largest setts are spacious enough to accommodate 15 or
more animals with up to 300 metres (980 ft) of tunnels and as many as 40
openings. Such elaborate setts with extensive tunneling take many years
for badgers to complete.[1]
Setts are typically excavated in soil that is well drained and easy to
dig, such as sand, and situated on sloping ground where there is some
cover.
