	Honey badger (Mellivora capensis): Classification and subspecies
		The honey badger was first described by Schreber in 1776, and named as Viverra capensis, which placed it with the viverrids (the civets and mongooses) [w005-09].
		Chris Wozencraft [w005-10] has suggested that Mellivora should be classified with the stoats, weasels and martens in the sub-family Mustelinae, and not in a sub-family of its own.

		The Asiatic stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included in the Melinae, but recent genetic evidence indicates that these are actually Old World relatives of the skunks (family Mephitidae).
		Typical badgers (Meles, Arctonyx, Taxidea and Mellivora species) are short-legged and heavy-set.
		The lower jaw is articulated to the upper, by means of a transverse condyle firmly locked into a long cavity of the cranium, so that dislocation of the jaw is all but impossible.

	Ratel ( Mellivora capensis ) - Ratel information - Ratel facts - WildAnimalsOnline.com
		The ratel is a dark brown coloured animal with big grey spot all over the back reaching up to the head.
		Mellivora capensis is a terrestrial animal distributed in sub-Saharan region and in some parts of Asia including Nepal, India etc. It feeds on mammals, carrion, snakes, rodents but also insects, roots, fruit and honey.
		Consequently, the ratel protected by its fur destroys the nest and feeds on honey and a honeyguide can easily enjoy eating the wax in the honeycomb.
