DELVING INTO THE WORLD OF AFRICA’S MOST FEARLESS AND TENACIOUS CARNIVORE

There is an expression in Afrikaans that goes “so taai soos ‘n ratel” – which translates to “as tough as a honey badger”. Across the continent honey badgers have earned the reputation of being tough, even lending their name to an armoured personnel carrier used by the South African Defence Force. This reputation is in part due to its appearance, that stocky frame and those long powerful claws, but really it is the honey badger’s tenacity that sets it apart from the rest. After all, this is a creature who snacks on honey from the notorious African ‘killer bee’ hives and thinks nothing of eating venomous snakes and even taking on lions. Simply put, honey badgers are the Chuck Norris’ of the African bushveld.

You can read the rest and see all the wonderful photos, clicking on the title \O
