Greeting Card – Honey Badger

R35.00R50.00

Honey Badger – Mellivora capensis 

SKU: N/A Category:

Also known as a “Ratel”, this legendarily ferocious creature is mostly nocturnal and will eat pretty much anything. They have incredibly powerful jaws that can chomp down with enough force to break the shell of a tortoise.

Ratel, meaning “honeycomb” in Dutch is also the Afrikaans word for a rattle – when threatened, the honey badger can omit a loud rattling noise, serving as a warning to potential threats. Honey badgers have exceptionally tough skin, at least 6 millimeters thick, which to put into perspective, is thicker than a Buffalo- an animal more than 50 times its size! Interestingly enough, they do also appear to have some immunity to snake venoms.

The Honey Badger has a lifespan of 7-8 years in the wild.
