Can you or another poster answer this question please?
What is this nickname “Honey Badger?” THANKS!
Congrats to AL for winning the BCS Bowl Championship!
Well after last night he is now the syrup badger. . . LOL
Honey badger (Mellivora capensis), also known as the ratel, is a species of mustelid native to Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. Despite its name, the honey badger does not closely resemble other badger species, instead bearing more anatomical similarities to weasels. It is classed as Least Concern by the IUCN due to its extensive range and general environmental adaptations. It is a primarily carnivorous species, and has few natural predators due to its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities.
They called him that on the bus returning to Baton Rouge after a game. He had no idea what it was. He looked it up and liked it and it stuck.
