You are Carbon in an Animal on Land

As carbon in the honey badger some may say, “this is as good as it gets,” put up against any competitor you’re sure to win all bets.

Honey Badgers are omnivores which means they eat both plant and animal material. When a Badger eats any form of plant material the carbon absorbed through photosynthesis is then integrated into the badgers life cycle -- used as energy or turned in badger body parts.

The first animals appeared around 900 million years ago.

Choose DECOMPOSITION. When the badger dies, carbon is transported into the soil as its flesh, blood, and bones break apart into smaller and smaller and smaller pieces. Some of the carbon stored in the badger's body is also used as energy by the microorganisms that help it decompose.

The adventurous life of a Honey Badger doesn’t last forever.  Break it, break it down, mic check, yo yo, yo and explore amazing forms of carbon for the next several thousands year. Can you dig the SOIL?

The process by which the complex organic molecules are broken down to simpler forms.

C6H12O6 = 2C2H5OH + 2C02

Sugar = Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide

Choose RESPIRATION. As a carbon atom in sugar, you'll be burned up in the badger's muscle then join 2 oxygen atoms and travel back to the lungs. The badger will breathe you out into the atmosphere. Job well done.

A wild leopard has followed the trail of honey and the tears of your prey. It's time for fight or flight. Honey Badgers can only live through so many fights - come soar free and drift into the ATMOSPHERE!

The process by which living things burn sugar to release energy.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Sugar+ Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
