Honey badgers are solo animals they do not live in packs

When honey badgers come together it is only for mating and that is the extent of their interaction with one another

There are no communities so the roles within communities don't exist

Honey badgers mate no more than once every 14 to 24 months

Honey badgers do not form pairs and are willing to take as many mates as possible

Generally mate in September to December but mating can be a year round activity

The honey badgers have no mating rituals

There are no unique charactaristics of the honey badgers mating

Juveniles reach adult size within eight monts with males becoming bigger than their mothers by 14 months when he becomes independent from his mother

Females reach sexual maturity around 12-16 months while males reach it around three years old

When very young there is a fixed den for the young honey badgers, very quickly the young badgers will exit the den to learn how to survive in the harsh African Savana

Males will leave their mothers at a later time than males do as they reach sexuall maturity much quicker
