The honey badger is a mammal in the weasel family, order Carnivores. This species is native to Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Honey badgers are unlike other badgers, instead, bearing many anatomical similarities to weasels.

Adult badgers are 23–28 cm tall at the shoulder with a body length of 55–77 cm, with a tail 12–30 cm long. Males weigh 9–16 kg while females weigh 5–10 kg on average.

Although it is a small animal, honey badgers are at little risk of being hunted in the wild. The reason is that they possess a perfect defense mechanism that combines a thick skin that can withstand the claws of predators and a natural anti-poison ability that protects them from dangerous snakes or insects.

In addition, animals react very violently when provoked, ready to bite or scratch anyone who disturbs or attacks their young. Because of this, honey badgers have an extremely careless, arrogant nature, and are not afraid of any animal.

Although crocodiles with large sharp jaws can be a threat to honey badgers, that does not mean that “Chi Pheo chai Phi” does not dare to prowl near the swamp lord’s area.

In the middle of the road, when he found the body of an immature crocodile, the badger did not hesitate and immediately stole it back to the nest to share the delicious bait with the whole family.
