Fantastic animals, shame they're so scarce in zoos around the world.

I believe only 4 AZA zoos keep Honey Badgers; Fort Wayne, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park, and Naples Zoo, if I'm correct. I think SDZ is phasing them out though.
The non-AZA Tanganyika Wildlife Park also hold this species.

I just saw a very active one at the San Diego Zoo. Do they really have one at the Safari Park? I haven't seen it - must be behind the scenes? I can't imagine that it would make a very good education animal.

Look kids, it's a honey badger! Who wants to pet it? Oh, it's nice and softAUGHHHHHHHHHH!
 
The 2009 addition of the African Journey complex greatly expanded the zoo, and rather than the typical Meerkats and Warthogs there are these rare species displayed (along with many others): Honey Badger, Spotted Hyena, Banded Mongoose, Verreaux’s Eagle Owl, Sitatunga, White-Bearded Wildebeest and Bat-Eared Fox.

I thought they had one at SDWAP, but I might be wrong. Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo used to have them, but their badgers were sent to Naples Zoo.
 
The Honey Badgers from the Wild Animal Park (1,2) are now living at Cologne.
