Honey Badger : Children's Mammal Book

By Bold Kids

There are many interesting Honey Badger Facts! Learn about these animals in this book. They are a great way to learn about the animals that live in our own backyard. Learn about the different habitats that they are found in and discover what they have to offer. This species is widely distributed throughout Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The IUCN Red List has listed the honey badger as Least Concern, which means that it is not considered a threat to human life. One of the most amazing Honey Badger Facts is that they are incredibly intelligent animals that can use tools to their advantage. In one South African rehabilitation center, a badger taught himself how to escape an enclosure by using rocks, sticks, and even a rake! These creatures are related to otters, ferrets, and weasels. You may be surprised to learn that they can also climb trees. Another interesting Honey Badger Facts is that they are the only mellivorous species with nipples. These animals typically give birth to twins and have an anus that can turn inside out to shoot a foul-smelling liquid. Just like skunks, they also spray a foul-smelling liquid when irritated. But unlike skunks, honey badgers do not have a mouthful of teeth!
