The honeyguide bird has something of a problem: it wants access to the juicy wax insides of a honeybee nest but lacks the ability to access it directly. It has learned, however, to lead other predators to such nests and then wait for the remains of the spoils. The honey badger (or ratel, shown above) is one such creature with which the bird works in collaboration, but honeyguides have also been known to lead humans to find nests. One native population finds honey three times faster because of these incredible birds.
