Ratel, Mellivora capensis Schreber 1776
Who am I?
John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Is that a wolverine?
Posted by: John S. Wilkins | May 13, 2008 12:21 AM
No John, it's a honey badger. This is a wolverine. The former is African, the latter American. Different genus as well.

Wolverines and honey badgers do share something in common, besides any physical characteristics. Attitude. It shows in the picture.
They both have a superiority complex that makes them determined fighters and cunning opponents.
Both animals have inspired legendary tales of ferocity tinged with evil.
