TITLE:  THE HONEY BADGER AND THE HONEYGUIDE
DESCRIBTION:  The Honey badger is a fearless little animal found throughout most of Africa. One of the most well know about this animal is its relationship with a small bird called the honeyguide. It is believed that the bird, which likes beeswax and bee larvae, needs the badger to help open bee hives. So it gets the attention of the honey badger by making twittering noises and flying from tree to tree to guide it to a bee hive. Since the honey badger also likes the products of bee hives, it willing follows. When the hive is reached, the bird patiently waits for the honey badger to break open the hive. The badger feeds on the honey and bee larvae and then leaves some for the bird which then flies in and feeds on the remaining larvae and beeswax. The myth goes on to say that if the badger does not leave any food for the bird, the next time it may gets its revenge by leading the badger to a lion or a snake.
