A hungry honey badger ventured inside Tamboti camp in the Kruger National Park to raid a dustbin. Russel, who took the video, was woken up at 3 AM by the persistent fellow and said, “I don’t even know how he opened the tamper-proof dustbin.” Honey badgers are known to raid bins and are considered incredibly intelligent.
This one seems like a fussy eater. Russel explained how he sniffed some bean salad he found in the bin, and deciding it wasn’t his thing, tossed it away. He then continued to scrounge for more food.
He used his long claws to dig through the rubbish in search of food. These claws typically help honey badgers burrow underground with ease. They can also dig themselves out of almost any enclosure or situation, often within minutes.
