Caption
"Despite its small size, the nocturnal ratel is one of the most aggressive and ferocious of all animals. It attacks venomous snakes as well as mammals several times larger than itself."
The honey badger or ratel (Mellivora capensis) is the only species in the mustelid subfamily Mellivorinae and its only genus Mellivora. It is native to Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Despite its name, the honey badger does not closely resemble other badger species; instead, it bears more anatomical similarities to weasels.
