Canis lupus hominis

From Brehm’s Life of Animals (1896):

The Ratel, or Honey Badger (Mellivora capensis), attains a length of Described. twenty-eight inches, ten of this forming the proportionately long tail. The hair is long and wiry; forehead, back of head and neck, back, shoulders and tail are ashy gray, while the snout, cheeks, ears, throat, breast, underpart and legs are grayish black, the line of demarcation between the two colors being very distinct. Usually a light gray stripe separates the coloring of the back from that of the under surface of the body, distinguishing the African Ratel from its Indian cousin [the Indian subspecies of the honey badger]. The Ratel lives in in subterranean, which it excavates for itself with incredible dexterity. It is so slow and clumsy that it could never escape its enemies, were it not for this ability to bury itself, at least in soft ground, digging a burrow so quickly as to hide before its antagonist has had time to attack it. Its habits are nocturnal and it seldom sallies forth in the daytime. On our hunting trip to the Bogos country we saw the Ratel twice, both times in the evening, before sunset. At night it prowls around slowly, at its own will, preying on small mammals, especially Mice, or birds, Tortoises, Snails and worms; digging out roots or tubers, and looking for fruit. One preference determines its whole mode of life and gives it a distinguishing name: it is passionately fond of honey and, therefore, is a zealous hunter of Bees. In the treeless regions of Africa, Bees settle in all kinds of deserted holes in the ground, just like the Humble-bees and Wasps. Such a nest is the most welcome thing a Ratel can find, and when discovered the creature proceeds to destroy it with marked satisfaction. The Bees defend themselves as well as they can, seeking to wound the enemy with their stings, but its hairy, thick hide is an excellent shield, for it lies more loosely on the subcutaneous layer of fat than that of any other animal. The Ratel is said to be really able to turn around in its skin. Bees are utterly powerless before such an enemy, which greedily digs around in their abode and feasts on its contents.

The Ratel is not only fond of honey, but also looks for more substantial food. Carmichael says that owners of poultry-yards regard it as one of the most destructive creatures to be found. In Algoa Bay several peasants were once quarreling over some eggs, which Hens had laid outside of their coops, when a Ratel put an end to the contention by killing all the Hens—there were about thirty of them — in a single night, and carrying three away to its den (pg. 172-173).

So essentially, the honey badger takes what it wants.
