	Ratel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ratel (Mellivora capensis), also known as the Honey Badger, is a member of the Mustelidae family.
		Ratels have such a great appetite for ravaging beehives that there have been cases of dead ratels being found, stung to death within the hives they were trying to eat.
		The ratel is among the fiercest hunters of the desert, with prey including earthworms, termites, scorpions, porcupines, hares, and even larger prey such as tortoises, crocodiles up to one metre in size, and snakes (including venomous species).

	The weasel family: ratel
		A ratel, also known as a "Honey Badger," is a member of the weasel family that makes its home in the forested regions of Asia and Africa.
		Young ratels are born in burrows lined with leaves or grass, and stay with the mother until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
		Well known for their love of honey, ratels are often led to bees' nests by a variety of birds known as "honey guides." About a dozen different species of birds work in conjunction with the ratel in a unique array of behaviours.

	Honey Badger
		The basis of the partnership is the Honeyguide’s craving for wax and the Ratel’s fondness for bee larvae and honey.
		The Ratel supposedly uses its protruding anal glands to fumigate bees and other biting insects before attacking their nests, in the same way a human will use smoke to subdue bees before harvesting honey.
		Ratels have been observed killing mambas, dragging them out of holes and devouring them with complete unconcern, perhaps a benefit of their thick, impervious skin.

	Ratel IFV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ratel is the basic Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) of the South African National Defence Force's mechanized infantry battalions, and is named after an African animal known in English as the Honey Badger, which has a reputation as a ferocious fighter.
		The Ratel was the first wheeled IFV to enter military service, and is generally regarded as an influential design; a number of other countries have since produced vehicles similar to the Ratel, including the Sibmas from Belgium --which is all but a direct copy-- and a number of South American designs.
		The Ratel's ground clearance and cross-country performance are very good--certainly adequate for the generally rolling and arid terrain it usually operates in-- and the vehicle has a ride which SADF crews often compare favourably to civilian cars.
