CURRENT POPULATION TREND: Decreasing Some say honey badgers donβt care, but that reputation is hardly fair. In fact, these medium-size members of the weasel family have super-sized attitudes. Honey badgers, also known as ratels, are related to skunks, otters, ferrets, and other badgers. These voracious omnivores get their name from their fondness for feeding on honey and honeybee larvae. They also eat insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, as well as roots, bulbs, berries, and fruits. Though they hunt for their own food most of the time, theyβll happily steal from other carnivores or scavenge the kills of bigger animals when the opportunity arises. Their prominent, sharp teeth, long foreclaws, and stocky build allow them to easily rip meat from bone. Habitat and range Honey badgers can be found throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and western Asia. They can adapt to a variety of conditions, from warm rain forests to cool mountains. Their home ranges can be as vast as about 193 square miles (500 square kilometers). Honey badger homes Most honey badgers are active throughout the day, though near human settlements they may prefer the cover of darkness. They are often seen alone, though itβs not uncommon to spot mating pairs. Honey badgers mate all year and often have just one cub at a time. Good at turning rock crevices and hollowed trees into shelters, honey badgers will also make homes in the abandoned dens of other animals like porcupines and yellow mongooses. Threats Though honey badgers are widespread and considered abundant, they are hunted or persecuted in certain regions, especially when they come into conflict with farmers and beekeepers. Theyβre also eaten as bushmeat and harvested for the traditional medicine trade; a reputation for bravery and tenacity make honey badgers popular for traditional medicine. Preventing the loss of honey badgers from those areas requires vigilance from local populations. 4 Likes

It lost consciousness for two minutes after being bitten by a snake, paralyzing it. I could not figure out how the Honeybadger stood up again. It got back a live and continued from where it stopped. He at the snake and continued his movement. a fierce creature. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
