Answer:

The silver manes of the cheetah kittens and that of honey badger's backside looks similar, and hard for the other predators or enemies to differentiate. So, they are often not approached or attacked.

Step-by-step explanation:

When cheetah kittens are born, they have a silver mane at their backs that resembles that of the honey badgers. This is advantageous for the honey badgers as they are almost every time mistaken for cheetahs. Not only that, honey badgers are also ferocious in their own, no matter their size. But added to that, their resemblance to the baby cheetahs also guarantees them safety from predators and are mostly left alone.
