Secret World Wildlife Rescue, a wildlife rehabilitation centre in South West England, is busy taking care of spring’s first badger cubs. The four rescued cubs were all found orphaned or abandoned, but they’re in good hands now. The first cub was named Hovis, after a UK brand of flour and bread, because the six-week old cub was about the size of a loaf of bread. Since they usually go with a theme for naming badger cubs, the following rescues have been named Pannini, Warby, 50/50 and Nimble — via ZooBorns
