Honey badger (Mellivora capensis<\/i>)<\/span><\/h3>\n
Whilst the previous three on this list gained their food-based names through resemblance, others are given them due to their diet. This is the case for the honey badger, who raids beehives for both larvae and honey to eat. This notoriously tough mammal is not in fact a badger at all. Although members of the same Mustelidae<\/i> family, they are more closely related to weasels. Its tendency to savagely attack other dangerous species, such as poisonous snakes and even lions, when escape is impossible has given it the reputation of \u201cthe world\u2019s most fearless animal\u201d. In reality, it prefers to hide and avoid trouble where possible, and generally only attacks when surprised.<\/p>\n
