Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Cold Moons is a 1987 novel by Aeron Clement about somewhat anthropomorphic badgers in the British wilderness.One early spring morning, a duo of badgers bask in the idealistic splendor of their glades. After eleven years living together in Yellow Copse, Bamber and his mate Dainty have just had what is likely their last litter of nestlings. Their peaceful existence is suddenly ruined when humans arrive and spread poison throughout the area. With badgers dropping dead within moments, Bamber attempts to flee with his family. His mate and cubs don't make it, but Bamber does. With that, he flees for the unknown in an attempt to save as many badgers as he can.After Bamber delivers his message, it switches to the badgers of the Cilgwyn forest, a large and advanced community of several hundred badgers, as they try to escape doom.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The book is based on actual events that occured in 1970s and 1980s Great Britain: There was an outbreak of tuberculosis amongst cows (and to a lesser extent, other mammals including humans). Badgers were considered the cause, though there was little-to-no evidence that they were. This led to a mass genocide of badgers that pushed them to the edge of extinction in Great Britain.

All Animals Are Domesticated: After being hit by a train, Rowley takes to humans easily. He lets them pick him up and hand-feed him food. The slightly older yearling Titan, however, won't let humans touch him.

comment
Animal Naming Conventions: Some badgers have descriptive names, such as Oatear and Greyears, or nature-related names, such as Buckwheat and Corntop. However, there's an Aerith and Bob element as not all characters have this (for example, the former Cadre leader was named "Jason" and Buckwheat has a son named "Beaufort").
