An RSPCA officer has labelled helping two badgers trapped on a ladder in a Torfaen canal as "the most bizarre and unusual" day in her 15 years on the frontline.
The animal welfare charity teamed up with firefighters from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service to help two badgers, who had - unfathomably - got stuck between metal steps and the wall, on Pentre Lane over the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal in Cwmbran, Wales.
RSPCA Cymru was called, with rescue officer Sian Burton and inspector David Milborrow rushing to the scene. They enlisted the support of the fire service as they sought to help the trapped badgers. The rescue took place on Friday (5 February).
A large animal rescue team from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended, and abseiled down the canal wall, with their ropes tied to an RSPCA van for security. Inspector Milborrow got hold of one of the badgers using a grasper - while firefighters held nets below him for extra security.
The second badger jumped into the water as the first was rescued - causing "serious concern" for the RSPCA. However, the badger then, amazingly, climbed up the ladder and into reach of the grasper, where he was also pulled to safety.
Both badgers have now come into the care of the RSPCA for a period of rehabilitation before an anticipated return to the wild.
ARO Burton said: "Without doubt, this was the most bizarre and unusual day of my 15 years spent on the frontline for animals. These poor badgers were stuck fast between the ladder and high wall, with no route to escape and the canal waters below them.
"Fortunately, we were able to reach the badgers with a grasper, as firefighters abseiled down the wall and looked to usher the animals towards safety. After we got the first badger, the other fell in the water - which did cause us some serious concern. But he got out of the water - and climbed up the ladder, and we soon grabbed him too.
"Both badgers are a bit rough, and have some cuts - so

Orphaned badger triplets, Secret World Animal Rescue Centre, Britain - 08 Mar 2007
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features ( 648946b )
Orphaned badger triplet cubs are the first of this year's baby animals to come into the Secret World Animal Rescue Center. Their future may well be in doubt with the call for culling of badgers in the South West by farmers worried over the TB crisis which has in some quarters been blamed on the badger population.
Animal Magic - The Work Of Richard Austin
ANIMAL MAGIC - THE WORK OF RICHARD AUSTIN
Richard Austin is known throughout the photography world as one of the best in the business at capturing unique animal images. So far he has released four books showcasing some of his work, including 'Animal Magic' and 'Dogs and Puppies'.
Richard started off as newspaper photographer, but whose brighter pictures began to creep into his work as they became a more popular alternative to the typical "gloom and doom" stories he found himself stuck with.
"I've always been interested in wildlife, ever since I was a kid. My heroes were the Daily Mirror's Arthur Sidey and the Daily Mail's Mike Hollist - they were really good animal photographers. I remember some cracking images that they took and I was always attracted to that."
Although he is perhaps more associated with cute images of piglets in deckchairs or lambs playing with ducklings, plenty of his photography is of animals in the wild in their natural habitats.
However, he is quick to point out the difference between his work and that of a National Geographic photographer for example:
"There's wildlife photography and then there's animal photography," said Richard, "I'm not the kind of photographer that sits down a rabbit hole for three days with a couple of cheese sandwiches and a flask of coffee. I've got to know that something's happening somewhere. The most I'll give it is an hour. And if nothing's happened I'll go and come back again later.
