18. The Badger That Buried a Lawn Flamingo

A suburban gardener in England prided himself on immaculate décor—especially his prized pink plastic flamingo. One dawn he awoke to find the ornament missing, replaced by fresh piles of dirt. Security footage revealed a determined badger dragging the flamingo away and painstakingly burying it like illicit treasure.

Badgers typically stash food, but experts call this “behavioral commentary.” The homeowner unearthed the flamingo two days later, scratched yet triumphant. He’s since mounted it atop a pole out of digging range; the badger still circles nightly, plotting Phase Two.
