Rare blonde badger spotted in Essex

An extremely rare blonde badger has been spotted in the Essex countryside.

Darren Tansley from the Essex Wildlife Trust says the difference in colour is the result of a rare genetic mutation, and the chances of seeing a badger without its black stripes is around 1 in 10,000.
