Badger Pictures     

Badger pictures are extremely hard to capture because they are nocturnal animals and easily disappear behind long grass during the day.

I have been going on safari for over 20 years now and I was beginning to think that I would never get any to add to my collection.

But one balmy morning in the Kruger National Park I had the incredible good fortune to spot the first honey badger I have ever seen in the wild, running down the road with a baby in it's mouth.

She dropped her baby to challenge me as I came closer with the car and then snatched it up again and charged off into the bush. I only just managed to snap this badger picture in time.

My only regret is that I couldn't get the badger photo from the front.
