Most agressive.

I would choose Ratel.

A shame, as this is a creature I'd love to see in captivity more often. This and as with Stoffel the honey badger's fame, show them to be very difficult to hold in captivity with their escape artist skills. I was shocked when San Diego opened their honey badger exhibit in Africa Rocks as a netted/wire enclosure, unless they were unaware of their escape artist skills. If a concrete pit couldn't hold stoffel in, how on Earth would netting be able to hold them!? I assume this is why they were officially phased out of the exhibit and replaced with fossas?

The walls on Stoffel's exhibit aren't that high. Building an effective enclosure is probably not affordable for them since it's a rescue, and he seems to be a pretty friendly guy who's easy to catch again. Put fencing into the ground and then have it come inward, put mesh/fencing on top of the enclosure and/or use coyote rollers, have door latches be on a solid part where arms can't reach, etc.

Ahh, really good to know that being able to make a good honey badger exhibit is possible. I guess the only inconvenience is that the fencing might make for a less natural display for said animals. I think Living Treasures Wild Park has a pretty good idea with the walls surrounding the exhibit and glass viewing. Just replicate this with a slightly larger exhibit, trees surrounding the walls, grass, and branches or things to climb for enrichment and one could make a great honey badger enclosure.

There’s a good Honey Badger enclosure at Exmoor Zoo here in UK

How do zoos handle chimps once they've grown past this age?

Carefully!

Unfortunately I can't find any good pictures of the exhibit online, only close ups of the honey badgers.

Crab-eating macaques. Very nasty in the wild and captivity!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Chimpanzees here. I remembered Lion Country Safari operates everything for them from far because they can get easily aggressive real quickly, and if they attack, it always would end very badly for both of the victims and them.
