Authorities are needing to cancel services because of the severity of the damage
The Netherlands is experiencing a bad case of burrowing badgers.
The cute, fury critters are tunnelling below railway tracks and are wreaking havoc on train services across the country.
In fact, it’s so getting bad, authorities are being forced to cancel services.
Trains in the north and south are the worst affected, with some lines halted for at least a week.
The route between Den Bosch and Boxtel in the south was closed on Tuesday after the mammals dug under the tracks.
Officials are unsure how long the problem will continue as badgers are a protected species.
The CEO of ProRail, the company that maintains the Dutch rail network, says it is the second time in a week that services have been stopped because of badger activity.
