Mellivora capensis
Kruger National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Etosha National Park are among the ten atlas places where the Honey Badger is recorded. Its records concentrate in Kenya, South Africa and Benin, with the atlas holding 148 records across ten countries. This member of the family Mustelidae is also recorded in Namibia and Senegal, with further sightings mapped in the Serengeti and Chobe National Park. The records for Mellivora capensis provide a broad look at where observers have documented this mammal across its range.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Honey Badger as much as where it lives. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
