Honey Badgers are widely distributed throughout Africa south of the Sahara, the Arabian Peninsula, Western Asia and the Indian Peninsula.

With large front claws and very thick skin, that prevents a predator from getting a firm grasp on their body, Honey badgers are known to be notoriously aggressive animals, which results in them not having an extensive list of predators. They are opportunistic foragers, having a primarily carnivorous diet, frequently dining on eggs, small rodents, snakes, birds, and frogs. While the majority of the diet is carnivorous, honey badgers also eat fruit, roots, and bulbs. Bee hives are preyed upon because the honey badger also likes to devour the bee larvae and honey inside.
