One of Africa's most ferocious animals, honey badgers have been known to attack lions and buffalo when threatened. They have a powerful bite and loose skin which enables them to wriggle out of any grasp. Honey badgers are terrestrial, quadrupedal animals with a cylindrical body. Their forefeet are long and broad, they have powerful claws that are used for digging and climbing. In contrast, the hind legs have smaller, constrained claws. Honey badgers have an average shoulder height of 10 inches and weigh approximately 26 pounds.
