Could one animal survive a cobra bite, then eat the snake?
The honey badger can. Its skin is about six millimetres thick at the neck, and so loose it can twist around inside it and bite its attacker.
A tiny change in one receptor makes cobra venom harder to lock on, so it can survive bites that would kill most animals — but it is not immune, and a bite can still knock it out for hours.
With claws about four centimetres long, it digs out rodents, scorpions and snakes, and cracks open tortoise shells.
It raids beehives for honey and bee larvae.
