What is another word for arctonyx?
Pronunciation: [ˈɑːktənˌɪks] (IPA) 
Arctonyx is a genus of mammals that belongs to the Mustelidae family. There are several synonyms for the word "arctonyx," including the "Asian badger," "hog badger," and "ratel." These animals are found primarily in Asia and are known for their distinctive markings and long, pig-like snouts. The name "ratel" is derived from the Afrikaans word for "honey badger," which is another species in the Mustelidae family. Unlike the honey badger, however, arctonyx animals are primarily herbivores and feed on a variety of plant materials. They are generally solitary creatures and are rarely seen in large groups.
