Honey Badger
The honey badger, widely distributed in the South, is notorious for its strength, ferocity and toughness. It is known to savagely and fearlessly attack almost any other species when escape is impossible, reportedly even repelling much larger predators such as lion and hyena. Bee stings, porcupine quills, and animal bites rarely penetrate their skin.

It accesses a large part of its food by digging it out of burrows. It favours honey and often searches for beehives. It is also feeds on insects, frogs, tortoises, turtles, geckos, lizards, rodents, snakes (including kobras and black mambas!), birds and eggs. It also eats berries, roots and bulbs. When foraging for vegetables, it lifts stones or tears bark from trees. Some individuals have even been observed to chase away lion cubs from kills. It devours all parts of its prey, including skin, hair, feathers, flesh and bones, holding their food down with their forepaws. It feeds on a wide range of vertebrates and seems to subsist primarily on small vertebrates.
