SON-SN_CLUMSY_BADGER_06
FEATURE - SN_CLUMSY_BADGER_06
This badger has an embarrassing moment as it falls off a tree branch in the middle of the night. The clumsy cub was caught out by a remote trigger camera in a private woodland in Shropshire.
Wildlife photographer Richard Bowler said, “I followed the progress of four rescued badgers as they returned to the wild using a camera trap.”
“The badger struggled to grip with its paws as it attempted to climb onto the trunk. That was its first and only attempt to climb the fallen tree branch.”
“There were no other badgers present prior to the cubs being released which is why this private location was chosen. This is also to protect them from culling and illegal persecution.”
“Before release, the cubs were tested for and vaccinated against bTB to ensure they pose no threat to the farming community.”

As I said when uploading the images I'd only give the location as private Shropshire woodland, to protect the badgers from the cull and illegal persicution.
There were no badgers present prior to releasing the cubs, that is why the location was chosen for the release site. I followed the badgers progress up until early this year.
Jammy dodgers are also a favourite for badgers, but it has to be remembered its not a healthy diet for the badgers, used sparingly it does no harm. Whenever I visited the location I also left some healthy food for them. Peanuts, corn on the cob, dog or cat biscuits, just enough to help them if they were struggling to find food naturally.

Afia, a western lowland gorilla who is 10 months old with her surrogate mother gorilla Romina, now lives with the other gorillas at Bristol Zoo, after being born by caesarian section on 12 February this year.
Orphaned baby gorilla Afia thriving at Bristol Zoo, UK - 20 Dec 2016
Keepers at Bristol Zoo have announced that their 'little miracle' Afia, the young Western lowland gorilla who has been hand-reared since birth, is now fully integrated with the gorilla troop. It's been an eventful journey since the young primate was born 10 months ago by emergency caesarean section and fought for her life before being cared for by keepers to ensure her survival. In that time keepers have given more than 1,570 bottle feeds, changed nearly 1,400 nappies, given 112 piggy back rides, and spent countless sleepless nights caring for her round-the-clock. Now, having reached a huge milestone, Afia is no longer being cared for by keepers but is spending 24-hours a day with her new gorilla family. She can often be seen exploring her new home on Gorilla Island, or clinging onto her new, surrogate mother gorilla, Romina.

Orphaned baby gorilla Afia thriving at Bristol Zoo, UK - 20 Dec 2016
Keepers at Bristol Zoo have announced that their 'little miracle' Afia, the young Western lowland gorilla who has been hand-reared since birth, is now fully integrated with the gorilla troop. It's been an eventful journey since the young primate was born 10 months ago by emergency caesarean section and fought for her life before being cared for by keepers to ensure her survival. In that time keepers have given more than 1,570 bottle feeds, changed nearly 1,400 nappies, given 112 piggy back rides, and spent countless sleepless nights caring for her round-the-clock. Now, having reached a huge milestone, Afia is no longer being cared for by keepers but is spending 24-hours a day with her new gorilla family. She can often be seen exploring her new home on Gorilla Island, or clinging onto her new, surrogate mother gorilla, Romina.

This adorable 3-week-old baby rhino is being nursed back to health after being found wandering alone in the bush in South Africa. He has joined 7-month-old calf Stompie at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, Limpopo. Curly mouthed calf Balu was found wandering in the veld alone during a violent storm. He was weak, thin and confused, the latest victim of rhino attacks reaching unprecedented numbers and escalating. Rhino are popular with poachers for their distinct horns, which are believed to have aphrodisiac properties and represents status in the East, with financial returns outstripping trade in gold, diamonds and cocaine on the black market. After reading the stories, and seeing the horrific photos of carcasses left to rot with a gaping holes where a horn once stood, photographer Michelly Rall decided to check out the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and the work it is doing to protect this endangered species.

An orphan hippo called Douglas has been successfully released back into the wild.
Douglas was just two weeks old and close to death when he was rescued.
He first captured hearts after being featured on ITV1 show 'Paul O'Grady's Animal Orphans', where he was seen making friends with terriers Molly and Coco as he started an ambitious rehabilitation programme at the Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust (CWET) in Zambia.
His carers are delighted that he has now begun his return to the wild in the nearby South Luangwa River - with a pod of wild hippo.
