BioThe ratel has a massive head with a thick skull of compacted bone covered with muscles. The neck and shoulders are well-developed and the strong forelegs are armed with massive claws adapted for digging and excavating. The hind legs are clawless and have less flexibility and power.
The ratel has very thick, loose skin that is difficult to grasp. The skin around the throat is so thick that it is said to defy the bite of a dog or a leopard. The lower part of the ratel's body is black, the upper part white, a striking pattern that extends onto the tail. There are regional color variations-in some, the white mantle runs from nape to tail; in others it only extends from the head to the neck. The white is sometimes washed with gray, buff or brown.
