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.
Hazards - With more than 50 named beaches on Kauai, there are a number of significant hazards that can occur unexpectedly. These include large surf, rip currents, longshore currents, rough waters, bayhead/river mouth rip currents and waves of any size. Itâs not the days with the 30-foot monster waves that are statistically most dangerous, but the days with small to moderate surf when conditions do not appear particularly threatening.
