This paper offers a well researched written account of the predator prey relationships between the honey badger and one of its prey specie in the family Elapidae, which are venomous snakes. This paper looks to studies done in Africa by Dr. Begg and his colleague’s. They looked at the diet and foraging behavior of the honey badger. Other studies such as the ones done by Danielle Drabeck have looked at the venom resistance of Honey badgers. This paper especially focuses on predator prey interactions of Honey badgers, and its specific adaptation to venom resistance from its prey. Another aspect that will be looked at is the interesting switch of prey species and dietary intake depending on seasonal circumstances in the abundancy of resources
