Lonely badger cub returned home

[@TenerifeHorseRescue]

Badgers are the coolest! Who agrees??

[@GiacomodellaSvezia]

Simon deserves at least some kind of knighthood for his noble heart. I don't care if it's an official one, he has my highest esteem already.

[@Lucywildlifeaid]

Totally agree :)

[@beth12svist]

According to Wikipedia, he is Simon Cowell, MBE. So not quite up to that rank officially, but almost. :-)

[@mikshinee87]

All those fake heroes Captain America, Spiderman,Superman, have nothing on him and his daily mission for several decades.

[@paolagrando5079]

He already got a badge or two 😸

[@pollyg562]

Thanks!

Their happy chatting in the end sounded so cute :-) Probably it meant something like "Mommy, mommy, I've met the giants!"

[@lilyd1010]

Ahahaha! Good one, for sure!! LOLOL

[@kaykinomoto6209]

"An upside down badger" Hahaha!! I just love how Simon always has something funny to say even when he's struggling in a very narrow enclosure! Crossing my fingers that he's found his mom!

[@lilyd1010]

Hi Kay, I think ur right about Simon. It's in his blood to be a rascally comedian.

[@kaykinomoto6209]

@@lilyd1010 Hahaha exactly!

[@deborahcarroll2172]

I miss you, Simon. Your videos always entertained and informed.❤

A Simon in his natural habitat, collecting badgers..... Seriously, love what you all do for wildlife, you're amazing. I've been watching since I was small, to 37 💗🌄❤️

Little badger seemed to know what he was looking for once he got out of the carrier. I am hopeful that he’s found his family.

[@neovo903]

The little grumbles as you get him out

[@charlotted6247]

Sounds as if he is saying, I'm home. Simon found me and rescued me. Thank you God for Simon. He is one of the best men God ever put here. Big or small, Simon loves them all. Listening to him talk to the animals is priceless ❤❤❤❤❤

[@vojaro5669]

I love your approach, just hope he did make it happily back to his mom. Glad the the nice neighbors were going to keep an eye out for him too. You are so good at dealing with the wildlife in any situation. I’ve always felt that so much of wildlife has been given a raw deal in this world, as humans have a tendency to take over everything and call it their own. The world should belong to all animals too, and humans should respect that and share. Thank you once again for your kindness and expertise.

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

Uk had a huge badger cull that was very unfair

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you very much for your support!

[@erkheth]

@@WindTurbineSyndrome yes, it's so sad! I live in Holland. My husband talked with his work mates about this, they all live on and around farm land. They've never heard of any of the excuses the English made up for this....

[@avacat8852]

nice rescue of this lovely badger!! so cute!! Thank u so much!!!

[@TimeTheory2099]

Thanks Wildlife Aid teams 👍

[@NeoRipshaft]

Always happy to see a happy badger =D

[@animemusicluver1]

"bite me, then I'll have a grip on ya" "he's got a fat tummy, which is cool" "Badge wadge" Simon's commentary is the *best* 12/10 quotes to quote

[@erkheth]

I just read '"he's got a fat tummy, which is cool", just as Simon said it!

[@skiersobolski]

Simon is a synonym of compassion.

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

Thank you for all you do to help distressed wildlife

[@liliaaaaaaaa]

Awesome little badger cub, fab to see him finding his way home chatting to mum & dad as he got in late... 😁✌

[@davidamato768]

Your voice is so calming. That calmness obviously translates to the animals.

[@audreyheather]

Aww, Simon & a Bagder, His Favorite Cute lil Critter 💙🐾 Beautiful Rescue as Always 😊

[@lesleywild8706]

Imagine being a badger and looking out of the den to find Simon peering down at you! Its parents are probably saying - now look what a fine mess you've got us into!

[@amandah2866]

Aww, he was so cute!! I'm glad he was healthy and went happily home.

[@annegriswold2116]

From how the badger reacted and the sounds coming from the opening, I think its safe to say the little one found their Mommy again. Its great to hear the neighbors were going to keep an eye out as well to make sure the little one found their family.

[@ChesireHeart]

That little baby is so cute!!! I love european badgers so much!

[@slyaspie4934]

What a handsome chap he is, and the badger cute as well 😉

Thank you so much for all you do for the badgers and other wildlife. You do deserve a knighthood Simon, so sorry to hear of your own health, good luck

I just noticed that every time I see a new WAF video pop up, I whisper, "Ohhhh!" in satisfaction and anticipation. Yep, I'm an addict.

[@gailbroekhuizen7290]

Great job Simon, as always!!!! 🦡❤️

[@michi24580]

nice rescue. at this age they aren't so dangerous. but when they're grown up it's a whole different story

[@troidesproject9631]

Badger is one of the smartest animal. They commitment is strong. Always happy to see it back in the wild.

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Happy badger and a happy Simon... know he loves the badger rescues, but more critically he mentioned going home for dinner... and we all know that means cherry lattice pies!

Well done Simon, I lost my family years ago. Not a nice feeling!!!. Thanks. Adrian

[@elf885]

Thank you very much for this marvelous job!! 🙏

[@baronjutter]

What interesting stonework around that home.

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

Imagine you're a child and you fall down a hole, and the next thing you know a hundred foot tall giant comes crashing through the trees and grabs you by the collar, hauling you up and out, then lifts your shirt to check the size of your belly as you struggle in his fist. He pops you into a sack and lets you loose on your driveway, watching you as you scuttle in the front door. As you excitedly try to tell your parents what happened, an eye the size of a sewer grate appears in the window and spies on you.

[@LadyMcBite]

That sound horrifing xD

[@wildlifeaid]

Haha that's brilliant!

[@Undomaranel]

Ya know, I had nightmares not dissimilar to that description as a child. Not sure how I feel right now 😆

Aww nice video and a brave Simon to let the badger cub go, even though he loves them so much :) Feisty little chap was chatting away in the sett - lovely to hear :)

[@dorian4534]

Fierce badger. Very mighty. Not scared of anything. Much bigger than scary human. Grr.

[@chattykathy5313]

Simon is St Francis of Assisi's successor in my opinion. I love Badgers and I feed them every night with special biscuits. Their foraging areas are being lost by building for humans in my area and we parishioners are getting a petition up to stop it. I help out when I can feeding these beautiful creatures. Well done all at WAF Bless you all. x

[@angelapinnock3793]

So satisfying to watch 😌 🦝🦝🦝 How much more so when you're there in the flesh and experience the release, smells, sights, sounds and a happy animal back with its family👌 🤗🤩

I'm amazed how close they are within human proximity. I always thought badgers typically were very shy animals that you could only (hope to) find deep within woods.
