A honeymoon? I don't think so

About four feet from nose to tail and standing up to 11 inches at the Withers, the honey Badger or Ratel is not exactly cuddly. Found mostly in Africa and the far East, honey, if not their staple diet, it is certainly a favorite delicacy and a prize for which the creature well-protected happily will a nose sore. Before attacking the hive will use the animal its anal glands in skunks like bees to disinfect beekeepers in the same way use smoke, releasing a suffocating odor that stuns and kills bees before attacking the hive and based on his thick coat to protect it from the stings of the survivors. Often led to the hive honey guide bird, which sticks for the leftovers, the honey Badger will promptly demolish a beehive eating all the honey, wax and larvae in minutes

One of the fiercest hunters, the honey Badger attack and eat almost any insect animal or reptile comes all worms of scorpions, porcupines, turtles, small crocodile odd. Is totally fearless, attacking animals much larger than itself as buffaloes and antelopes which says that before castrate the victim then leave to die from blood loss before dining on the carcass. Also, Lion and Leopard man were attacked on rare occasions and Vulture nests high content of trees that raided for their eggs.

Another favorite dish is the snake, the deadly poisonous cobra and puff adder standing no chance as the honey Badger, although the bite during the fight, simply swell and become paralyzed for a few hours before recovering to resume his meal. They rarely fall prey of pythons, wolves, bears, Lions, tigers or leopards, because in addition to the ferocity of attack their thick loose skin makes them difficult to grasp and are able to twist in their skin to bite their opponent.

Born in dens, the main danger for the cubs is dragged from the burrow and eaten by other passing honey Badgers resulting in only a survival rate of fifty percent. Honey Badgers are not born with climbing skills or killing of snakes, but must be learned, as they are vital for survival. So when the puppies are old enough to leave the den with their mother for a short intensive course of killing that must pass or subsequently die.

In a recent study undertaken by the Scientific American showed that pound for pound the honey badger is more formidable land mammal in the world due to its favourable claw to the relationship between body and aggressive behavioral trends.

That brings us to the conclusion that the word is not necessarily a tenderness.
