Description
Honey badger skull replica measures 5.5 x 3.0 x 4.0 inches. The Mellivora capensis is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The honey badger is native to three large regions. They live across Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.
These animals are primarily carnivores. They eat a wide variety of prey, including venomous snakes, rodents, and birds. They also hunt and seek out honey. They have very few natural predators because of their thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities.
Females do not have a fixed breeding season. After a gestation of about 50 to 70 days, they give birth to one or two cubs. These young babies remain under the care of their mother for about 12 to 15 months.
This mammal also goes by the name of ratel. It is the only living species left in its specific subfamily. They have a fairly long body with a thick-set, broad back.
Their head and body measure 22 to 30 inches long. They weigh up to 35 pounds. Males are noticeably larger and heavier than females.
They have remarkably loose skin that allows them to twist freely with captured. They also have an anal pouch that can turn completely inside out to spray very foul-smelling liquid for defense and scent marking.
These solitary animals can stay active during any time of the day or night. Adults maintain large home ranges.

Sweet, the honey badger skull replica, just went to get her mail from her mailbox this morning and she keeps getting her ex-boyfriend’s debt collection letters. She is so mad. She never wants to even see his name again. She wrote across the front of the envelope in black Sharpie marker return to sender, recipient is deceased. He drank himself to death.
London Fog, the European badger skull replica, thinks this is hilariously funny.
Pillsberry, the American badger skull replica, told Sweet that it is a great idea and if she ever receives any mail for anyone else in her mailbox she is going to do the same exact thing.
Pewyou, the Palawan stink badger skull replica, thinks it stinks about her even receiving his mail to begin with.
