The honey badger-also known as ratal- is part of the Mustelidae family. Honey badgers are not anything to do with badgers, they are only called honey badgers because in frenchâ¦, badger means the word dig, honey badgers are very extreme when it comes to claws and teeth. Claws are used for digging and also breaking into a bee hives, that's where the name HONEY comes from.
Rip current. A rip current, often referred to simply as a rip, or by the misnomer rip tide, is a specific kind of water current which can occur near beaches with breaking waves. However, a rip can often be hard to see and absent from breaking waves, and only recognised by a ripple on the top of the water that heads out to sea.
Signs of a rip include: discoloured, brown water (caused by sand being stirred up from the seabed), foam on the water's surface and debris floating out to sea. If youâre caught in a rip, the RNLIâs advice is: 1  Stay calm. 2  If you can stand, wade. 3  Donât swim.
