| So it seems quite certain that a ratel never gets stung, no matter how many nests he may rob. |
| I have already alluded to the Cape ratel doing this on the look-out for bees. |
| It is greyish yellow above and blackish beneath, presenting, as has been remarked, a curious similarity to the ratel. |
| More curious still is the ratel, which belongs to the family of badgers. |
| But if the ratel is odd in appearance, it is odder still in habits. |
