RATEL (Mellivora capensis) is supposed to be a type of badger (Honey Badger), but, if you ask me, its size, appearance and behaviour is more like that of its other relative, the Wolverine. It is Africa's, short haired, black and grey wolverine!
Ratel's have killed Pythons and Lions (via castration).
