They are in the same family as ferrets and hyenas apparently and are one of the very few animals that can actually genuinly lock their jaw! Not just hold on with jaw strength but there jaw bone has some sort of hinge that locks in to the skull.

That is why there are still people walking around with rotting Badger carcasses on the end of one leg. Like a black and white Fame style leg warmer only with teeth and flies.
