Honey badger

The honey badger is a mustelid. It lives in Africa, in some regions of the Middle East and in the Indian peninsula.
It lives in the savannah and in the forest, where it feeds on every other animal and plant species that can enter its stomach ... even if its absolute favourite is honey, what a surprise!
