Giraffes use their incredibly long necks and tough, prehensile tongues to expertly remove acacia leaves from their spiky branches. Honey badgers are opportunistic and will chase other predators away from carcasses to eat carrion. They will also destroy beehives with their huge claws to reach honey.
