Details
The white-necked weasel (scientific name Poecilogale albinucha) is a small carnivore. It is smaller than the honey badger. The important thing is that it has a white neck, which is very similar to the "white hair" of the honey badger. In addition, the back of the white-necked weasel is also covered with white hair from head to tail. The difference is that the "silver cloak" of the white-necked weasel is not pure, but has a few black hairs. Because the heads of mustelids look very similar, coupled with its impure "silver cloak", the white-necked weasel has become the animal that looks closest to the honey badger.
