I spotted this honey badger on the prowl well after the sun had set on the Kalahari Desert of Botswana. I was forced to use a low shutter speed in the dim light, but he/she stopped just long enough to allow me to capture a portrait. The lack of light, combined with the dry desert conditions, made for an almost monochromatic exposure. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/60th of a second.
Love, love, LOVE this pic! The monochrome feel is perfect. Honey badgers are not to be messed with! (my husband thinks I may have been one in a previous life. lol)

“Honey badger” is just the marketing term for mangy ass skunk.
