Honey badgers are a species of badger (obviously). They are also known as the Ratel. As they are closely related to skunks, they can also produce the stench known for skunks. The stench is a foul smelling liquid
that is sprayed out of a gland under it's tail. Honey badgers are very tough animals. They are so tough that
even lions are scared of them. They live in Africa, Southwest Asia, and India.

Diet
Honey badgers love bee honey, thus giving them their name. They often go in search of hives to get it.
Once they find a hive, they spray a foul smelling liquid into the hive to fend the bees off. Then they eat
their hard earned treat. Their diet further consists of insects, eggs, snakes, rodents, birds and many
more. They also eat berries, roots and bulbs. Honey badgers hunt rodents such as gerbils by digging
them out of their burrows.
