Dens The honey badger is well adapted for digging, and excavates burrows of 1 - 3 metres in length, to depths of 0.25 to 1.5 metres; a single tunnel ends in a chamber, which is usually bare. Nursery chambers are lined with grass. Natural shelters, such as rock crevices and holes under tree roots or old termite mounds are used, also used are the dens of other animals such as aardvarks. The honey badger travels over a wide range, rarely occupying the same hole for more than one night (occasionally, a hole has been used for up to 3 consecutive nights). They reuse old badger holes and holes dug by other animals and modified by the badgers for their use. The holes of Cape foxes, bat-eared foxes, yellow mongooses and springhares are also taken over and adapted for use by the honey badger.
