How big is or was the largest badger ever?
Quite big. Here ya go: The largest land Carnivore found in Britain is the badger (meles meles). The average boar (sows are slightly smaller) is 90cm 3ft long (including a 10cm 4in tail) and weighs 12.3kg 27lb in the early spring and 14.5kg 32lb at the end of the summer when it is in ‘grease’. In December 1952, a boar weighing 27.2kg 60.0lb was killed near Rotherham, S Yorks. http://www.4to40.com/recordbook/index.
