Africa's most fearless creature!!
One of the rare occasions we all enjoy is seeing honey badger. Scuffling about it gave our volunteers a brief sighting of one of Africa's most fearless creatures. What a privilege!...
The honey badger (Mellivora capensis) is a tenacious small carnivore that has a reputation for being pound for pound, Africa's most fearless animal despite its small size. It is even listed as the "most fearless animal in the world" in the 2002 Guinness Book of Records. Tales of their fondness for honey and the foraging association between the Greater Honey guide (Indicator indicator) and honey badgers have reached almost legendary proportions. Despite all of these stories honey badgers are still relatively unknown and seldom seen.
