Honey Badger

The honey badger is a member of the weasel family with a broad head, powerful forelimbs and loose, tough skin. It searches above and below ground for food, digging into burrows or insect nests and sometimes opening bee nests. Most individuals spend much of their time alone, although mothers remain with dependent young. Its vigorous defensive behavior is well known, but it also relies on shelter, scent and avoiding danger.
