Three badger cubs, thought to be only weeks old, have been rescued after being found on the side of a village road.
A driver spotted them on the 7 April in South Petherton in Somerset, while the body of what was believed to be the cubs' mother was spotted further down the road.
The cubs were handed over to be cared for at Secret World Wildlife Rescue near Highbridge and named Dr Pepper, Pepsi and Sprite.
When they arrived at the rescue centre, they were malnourished and covered in fleas, with Secret World staff adding it was a "miracle" the cubs survived so long.
