Feeding of the badger (Meles meles L.) on the territory of the Western Ukraine. I. Dykyy, O. Dyka. Analysis of the feeding of the badger on the territory of the Western Ukraine was made on the basis of recent five-year observations. Such timberlands are of high protective characteristics with various and constant forage base that includes 52 species of animals and 47 species of plants in Western Ukraine. The species can easily change feeding objects due to euryphagy, and trophic factor does not influence substantially on the status and dynamics of population. Key words: badger, feeding, invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, Western Ukraine.
