 Coolness: 145860 | British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.
Word spread among the populace that UK troops had introduced strange man-eating, bear-like beasts into the area to sow panic. But several of the creatures, caught and killed by local farmers, have been identified by experts as honey badgers. The rumours spread because the animals had appeared near the British base at Basra airport. UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area. It is the size of a dog but his head is like a monkey Housewife Suad Hassan "We have been told these are indigenous nocturnal carnivores that don't attack humans unless cornered." The director of Basra's veterinary hospital, Mushtaq Abdul-Mahdi, has inspected several of the animals' corpses. He said: "These appeared before the fall of the regime in 1986. They are known locally as Al-Girta. "Talk that this animal was brought by the British forces is incorrect and unscientific." 'Ate a cow' Dr Ghazi Yaqub Azzam, deputy dean of Basra's veterinary college, speculated that the badgers were being driven towards the city because of flooding in marshland north of Basra. But the assurances did little to convince some members of the public. One housewife, Suad Hassan, 30, claimed she had been attacked by one of the badgers as she slept. "My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer," she said. "It is the size of a dog but his head is like a monkey." Sattar Jabbar, a 50-year-old farmer from Abu Sakhar, north of Basra, claimed he saw one of the badgers eat a cow. "It tore the cow up piece by piece. I tried to shoot it with my gun but it ran away into the orchards," he said.  |

 Coolness: 686250 | Actually, it's not. Badgers eat cobras.
[ www.youtube.com ] They've also been known to steal kills from lions, and not even lions will go to hunt them unless there's absolutely no other animals to hunt.. Badger's skin is so thick it's almost bulletproof (not some large-calibre guns, but like a .22 couldn't kill 'em) |
