Honey Badgers also known as Ratels are mammals that appear in the Jungle Emperor Leo universe.
Appearance[]
Honey badgers have black or gray fur, with white fur on their head and back. They have short legs, very thick skin, powerful jaws, and sharp teeth and claws.
Physical Characteristics[]
Honey badgers are excellent at digging, and will dig themselves burrows. However, they will also use the dens and tunnels of other animals for shelter. They are omnivores, and will eat anything from fruit to other mammals. As their name implies, they enjoy honey as well. The kits are born in litters of one or two. Honey badgers are known to be quite fearless and aggressive when the situation calls for it, having been known to chase and attack animals much larger then them, such as lions and buffaloes and they will attack even when there is seemingly no reason to do so. But this can sometimes get them killed. Honey badgers are also quite intelligent, as they are one of the few animals known to use tools. They are also gluttonous, eating anything they can fit in their mouths and will gorge themselves to the point of being unable to move well. They have thick loose skin that allows them plenty of wriggle room to get into a position to bite.They also have immunity to venom but its only partial, so they can still die from envenomation if they get enough of it in their system. Like their cousin the skunk they have glands beneath their tails that release a stinky spray which they not only use to defend themselves but also use as a bee repellent.
