We are going to talk about the Ratel , (Mellivora capensis), also known as honey badger or badger melero, is a species ofcarnivorous mammal it's typical from Afica and India.
Is elongated and robust body. Usually measures about 85 centimeters long and 30centimeters high. An adult male weighs 14 kg, females, meanwhile, do not reach the 9 kg. It has a long head, short legs, toes provided with strong nails well suited fordigging, and a short tail. Their fur is gray on the head, neck, back and tail. The lower parts are nearly black, and between the two areas there is a clear list, almost white.
We talk about the Ratel because it's really strange because he's the unic animal what survive when a viper bite him , Being immune to the bite of the viper makes these unable to defend as the Ratel's favorite food are snakes but can also feed on carrion or other animals.
