A badger is recovering at a Polish animal shelter after it was found passed out, drunk, on a beach.
Animal shelter Dzika Ostoja in the Baltic seaside town of Rewal posted a picture of the intoxicated mustelid and joked: "Oh, youth. Oh, summer holidays."
"We found Wandzia drunk, surrounded by seven [empty beer] bottles. There were two more in the bushes, so it's possible Wandzia began partying there. Haha."
The badger was believed to have stolen the grog from fellow beachgoers before removing the beer caps with her teeth, The Guardian reported.
She then slept for two days, the shelter's manager Marzena Bialowolska told AFP.
Wandzia was expected to recover by the end of next week, when she would be released back into the wild.
She is not the first badger to make the news for being under the influence. In 2009, German police were called to a badger that was "drunk as a skunk" from gorging itself on over-ripe, fermented cherries.
