Badgers! Released by UK troops in Basra! To kill Iraqi farmers and their cattle! (Or maybe not.)

To me, the most bizarre thing about that report is that at the time of writing, the BBC is illustrating it with a photo of a coatimundi (which is emphatically neither a badger nor from Iraq). (Edit: they've spotted that and put a genuine honey badger there now.)

Were snakes and mushrooms were found nearby?

I think that must be the loudest I've laughed since my office-mate joined us - at any rate, this is the first time she's come over to look at my screen to see what set me off...

I think that is a honey badger. Is it a different picture to earlier? Cool story!

[djm4]

Yes, they've changed it now. Someone probably had a word.

I reported it - obviously, though, I don't know how many other people did!

"We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.
