The Honey Badger, also known as the Ratel, is distributed throughout most of Africa and parts of Asia. They have been named the most fearless animal in the Guinness Book of World Records for a number of years.
Honey badgers are fierce carnivores with an extremely keen sense of smell. They have a great appetite for beehives. The honey badger is among the fiercest hunters. Its prey includes earthworms, termites, scorpions, porcupines, hares, and even larger prey such as tortoises, crocodiles up to one meters in size, and snakes (including pythons and venomous species). Its ferocious reputation extends to attacks on animals much larger than itself.
This video shows a honey badger bitten by a puff adder. The badger becomes paralyzed for some time. Once its paralysis has subsided, the honey badger continues with its meal and resumes its journey.
