Phwah - I wouldn't like to trim the nails on this beastie! Incredibly sharp image, Marietha and I'd be interested to see the type of head and body this foot is attached to. Very good detail. Well done!!

Wicked looking weapons ... well photographed ... from what I've read this is quite a formidable animal in the wild. Thanks for the virtual close-up. Well done.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
Yes, they are indeed. If you remember I've posted a picture of Big Boy the Lion at the Moholohol Rehab Center for Animals. Well, This guy was in a cage next to Big Boy the Lion and decided to enter the King's den by digging a hole in and go and introduce himself. Needless to say, it was no introduction but a fight to death, of so Mr Lion thought. He had the honeybadger by it's throat at one stage, but becuase the skin of the honeybadger is quite loose, Lion couldn't keep a grip and was bitten too. Honeybudger ended up in the "hospital" for two months - drips, operations, stitches - and when recovered was put back in the same cage.. the very same day he digged another hole..and the drama started all over again... the wardens were there to interupt it, and decided to get him another place to stay... FAR away from Big Boy. :) In Afrikaans we have a saying directly translated "as tough as a honeybadger" and after hearing what this guy can do.. I know exactly why we have that saying. Apparently he was with a family, and after wrecking their leather lounge suite, and once was left in a car, caused havoc by ripping a path through the dashboard into the engin and on another occassion through the back seat into the boot... :) so yes.. beware of those claws!

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
Wow Marietha, what a terrific beast.. some courage to take on a lion... reminds me of an animal we have in the states called a wolverine.. they are just a vicious and have claws built for digging also..

Aspire to inspire before you expire.
Amazing tale of what those claws can get the huney badger into. Great shot.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
