Badger cheats death after falling down drain

Louise Seddon with the badger

A BABY badger narrowly escaped death after falling down a storm drain and getting stuck.

With eight-foot high walls the badger would either have starved or drowned if a passer-by hadn’t heard it struggling to get out.

Seeing that the animal was stuck, they called the Scottish SPCA out to the scene in Cupar, Fife.

But freeing the stubborn four-month-old animal proved to be difficult.
