The St. Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in London cares for orphaned baby animals, such as this baby badger. All the animals have either lost or been abandoned by their mother and are being hand-reared and cared for before their release.

Thanks for all the wondrous and glorious pics, you guys. I'm especially enamoured of the prairie dogs and the red panda baby. Too cute.

@tsarstepan,

Better not try with this animal, tsar, especially if you're in the woods.

@Roberta,

I live next door to a beagle I rarely see but can hear. I like her barking (name is Bibi). For me it's a dog connection...

@tsarstepan,

I love that curiosity..

@Letty,

I've never seen one of those, that I remember, at a zoo, much less in the wild.
I'm not often in the wild, in contrast to many at a2k and several close friends.
Long may wildlife corridors live, but I'd rather the wild stay wild in the first place.

Tsar, have we ever talked about Ring of Bright Water?
I plotzed about it at the time I saw it, but who knows what I would think now.

tsar, I think that Beagle looks contrite. Did something wrong and is being yelled at. It's an eye of the beholder thing.

Letty, I wouldn't mess with a wolverine in the woods, on the plains, ANYWHERE. They are fearsome and tenacious.

Thanks for the glorious pictures, Izzie. I don't know one flower from another (with a few exceptions), but they all look beautiful to me.
