A Ratel, more commonly known as the honey badger, is a carnivorous species known for its fearless behavior and broad diet, ranging from honey and bee larvae to snakes and small mammals.
Ratels are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, parts of the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, and western Asia. They inhabit a variety of environments from forests to grasslands and even deserts.
In many countries, hunting ratels is illegal or restricted due to their essential role in the ecosystem. It's crucial to check the regulations of the country you're hunting in before considering targeting this species.
While not a traditional game animal, some may seek to hunt ratels as a pest control measure, particularly in areas where they raid beehives or cause problems for farmers.
Despite their small size, Ratels are fearless and can be extremely aggressive when threatened. They've been known to fend off much larger predators and should never be underestimated.
Ratels are primarily nocturnal but can be active during the day, especially in cooler weather. If hunting is permitted, dusk and dawn might be the most active periods.
Ratels are mostly solitary animals, although mothers can be seen with their young.
Ratels are famously known for their love of honey. They have a mutualistic relationship with a bird called the honeyguide which leads them to bee nests. The ratel breaks open the nest, and both animals share the spoils.
Ratel tracks resemble those of a small bear with five toes and claw marks visible. Their gait is plantigrade, meaning they walk with their full foot on the ground.
