Badgered To Death

A badger that found fleeting global fame has passed away after drinking itself to death. Wanda, a female from the coastal town of Rewal, was discovered passed out after stealing seven beers from a nearby campsite and getting stuck in. Rescued by a local shelter, her story went viral with international news networks turning the animal into an internet sensation. While she had been expected to make a full recovery, her health took a turn for the worse on Thursday and she was pronounced dead after failing to wake up. It’s not the first time a badger has shown a thirst for booze: in 2009 a badger drunk on fermented cherries bought traffic to a standstill in Germany after collapsing in the middle of the road.
