"It wasn't me." Badger trying not to look drunk. (world waif/Flickr)

A badger in Germany has some explaining to do. After shamelessly stuffing his face with overripe and fermented cherries, the badger got "blind drunk" and staggered around until he passed out in the middle of the road.

A driver saw the inert badger, and assuming it was dead, called the local police to clear the roadway. When police arrived, they were surprised to discover the badger wasn't dead, but drunk!

The animal's stomach had turned the fruit to alcohol and the badger was, to put it crudely, drunk as a skunk... In addition, the badger was suffering from diarrhea studded with cherry stones.

--Police statement, as reported by MSN

When efforts to rouse the badger failed, police used a broomstick to prod him to get up and lumber towards a nearby meadow where fell right back into a drunken slumber. 

No word whether the badger had a hangover the next day, but we're betting yes.
