Honey Badgers are widely distributed throughout Africa south of the Sahara, the Arabian Peninsula, Western Asia and the Indian Peninsula. Characterized by having a stocky body, they usually have a body length of 60 to 70 cm and a mass ranging from 8 to 12 kg. In general the lower half of the body is a dark black, with an upper mantle that is either gray or bright white. This species is also known as the ‘ratel’, an Afrikaans word for ‘rattle’, as it is known to make a rattle-like cry
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 carnivorous and opportunistic foragers, feeding on eggs, small rodents, snakes, birds, and frogs, but they can also eat fruit, roots, bulbs, and the bee larvae and honey inside bee hives.
Trivia
- Honey Badgers associate with birds of the species Greater Honeyguide. Honeyguides will lead them to hidden insect hives which they can break open and feed on, while the bird gains access to the previously inaccessible supply of wax and larvae.
- The Guinness Book of World Records named them the most fearless animal in the world.
- It is likely that the Honey Badger also has resistance to snake venom, although the exact physiological mechanism has not been demonstrated.
