Zusammenfassung:The badgers of Coney Island are described, along with details of their setts, territories, social groups, latrines, above ground beds, and movements. The badgers are lighter then mainland badgers, and all except one have white noses. The implications of this and other studies on islands for badger management, in particular in relation to a vaccine for tuberculosis, are discussed.
