On Wednesday, Polish animal rescue shelter Dzika Ostoja wrote on their Facebook that police had discovered a drunk badger by a beachside who was then placed in their care for the duration of her presumably awful two-day hangover.
The authorities allegedly reported that the badger had stolen seven beers from nearby beach-goers, the caps of which she evidently bit through to be able to drink them.
Please take a moment to let that sink in — not one, two, or even three beers. This badger was on such a mission to get loaded that she drank seven alcoholic beverages. Considering the fact that badgers rarely grow to weigh more than 20 pounds, that is a significant amount of alcohol to be in the system such a very small creature. "Mrs. Badger," as she's been labeled by the animal rescue center, will remain in the care of the shelter until she's overcome her mighty hangover, at which point she'll be released back into the wild.
"As of today, Wandzia still under the light 'influence' but begins to eat-lying down, but it is progress [sic]," they posted on Wednesday.
Mrs. Badger certainly gives that headline-catching raccoon from a few months back a run for his money.
