at 343mm, 1/3200 f/9.0, ISO 800, hand held. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa. Specie: Mellivora capensis

Non è infrequente vedere l' “honey badger” (tasso del miele o ratele) aggirarsi nei campi dei safari, soprattutto la sera, per frugare nell'immondizia, riuscendo anche ad aprire pesanti bidoni a prova di furto. Molto intelligente, aggressivo, combattivo, non teme nessuno ed è bene starne alla larga. Si nutre di piccoli mammiferi, di uova, di rettili, di insetti, che stana con una frenetica opera di scavo nella quale cambia continuamente e improvvisamente direzione, cosa che rende molto difficile fotografarlo. In zone aride come il Kgalagadi, parte sud del Kalahari, si assiste a un' interessante simbiosi tra l' honey badger e il Goshawk (Astore cantante pallido), che si tiene nei paraggi dello scavo pronto, molto opportunisticamente, a sfilargli qualsiasi preda che riuscisse a fuggire alle sue lunghe e acuminatissime unghie. Pronto anche a fare un rapido balzo indietro, just in case…

Compared to the previous one that I have just commented on, here the difference is made by the captured moment, truly fabulous. The combination of the two specimens is beautiful, both in terms of shape, colors and pose. Excellent photo too, congratulations again Susy.
