Honey badgers were named the bravest animal in the world by the Genius Book of World Records. These animals will stand up to everything, even the most fiercest snake of the animal kingdom, the black mamba. One honey badger was caught killing a puff adder. It bit the snake`s head and passed out because of the small amount of venom. Seconds later the honey badger woke up and finished eating the dead snake. These badgers live in the plains of the African savanna and will eat snakes and you guessed it, honey. Their hunting technique entailed getting honey out of a bee hive. First they will find a honeyguide. (A bird that helps people or animals find honey) The honeyguide will locate the hive. When they are at the hive the honey badger goes inside the nest and tries to scare the bees away. If that plan backfires the honey badger, or should I say relative of the skunk, sprays a liquid that smells just like skunk spray. That drives the bees away from their hive for the honeyguide and honey badger. That just shows how fierce these predators are.
