Pound for pound, the American Badger is one of the most ferocious predators in the world. | National Geographic TV

For fans of the CBeebies Bedtime Story, we've created one we hope will be useful to you, as part of #NationalStorytellingWeek. Badger's Parting Gift is a wonderful book our counsellers use, when helping children understand loss and grief. It's a beautiful and subtle way to show that death is a part life, and that those we love will live on in the memories they leave behind. Feel free to use this at any time, as a gentle way to introduce your little ones to a complex subject. | North Devon Hospic

Honey badgers live a life of fearless confrontation. From the very beginning, they endure nature’s harshest lessons, such as painful encounters with scorpions that prepare them for even deadlier threats. Each sting helps build their resistance to venom, strengthening them against more lethal dangers and shaping them into some of the toughest survivors in the wild.
