The leading honey badger that triggered the camera was followed by another one that passed the camera 6 s later, and then by four in a tight bunch after a further 4 s, and a single one 16 s behind the leader. No others appeared until the camera triggered again when a single badger ran past 40 s after the start of the first video, followed by another after 7 s and another after a further 8 s. Ten honey badgers passed the camera in 55 s, all going in the same direction.
