an idea for home defense: 10 of them roaming your yard. :Q

Weaksauce. They just bitch bitch bitch with their whiny little annoying voices. Reminds me of my last gf. When they fight they don't really "fight"... they just pretened to bite each other. Again, much like my last gf.

The honey badger kicks ass and takes names.

less than 24 hours and its like it never got bitten...and bee stings don't stop it either!

Wikipedia says they are unconscious 2-3 hours and then they just wake up, lol. That's so BA.

Devils are tiny and built for scavenging, not much good home defense when you can punt those little buggers, I'd much rather have a good guard/fighting dog which I'd bet could kick the crap out of a devil.

The badassery of the honey badger is how it goes after insane kills like invading an African honey bee nest or taking the bite of a poisonous snake while killing it, sleeping it off, and then waking up to resume its eating/killing spree.

Having powerful jaws so you can make the most out of crushing/eating bones of dead animals found lying around isn't quite as impressive...

Holy crap they're badass.

I bet they take on snakes just to get totally wasted.

badgers are freaking mean. I live in a farming community and more then once I have heard stories about people running these things over with combines, disks, and harrows and the things just kind of shake it off, growl at the tractor and walk away.

Heck, I had one friend that had to shoot a badger 10 times with a 22 straight in the head to drop the thing. They are nuts.

I recently re-watched the Top Gear Africa episode and noticed that the hand-drawn map they used depicted a lion eating a human leg, a hippo eating a human head, and a honey badger eating a set of testicles. Does anyone have a screencap of that? It would be great desktop wallpaper.

A little disappointing... thought for sure there would be a spoon and some poking somewhere in that clip.

The honey badger is among the fiercest hunters of the desert, with prey including earthworms, termites, scorpions, porcupines, hares, and even larger prey such as tortoises, crocodiles up to one metre in size, and snakes (including pythons and venomous species).[2] Its ferocious reputation extends to attacks on animals much larger than itself.

rofl. they should just contract that paragraph and say, "HONEY BADGER PWNS EVERYONE"

Adult honey badgers rarely serve as prey for lions and leopards; their ferocity and thick, loose skin makes it hard to grip or suffocate them and predation difficult. Old, weak honey badgers are more likely to fall prey to leopards, lions, and pythons, but even old honey badgers will defend themselves as vigorously as possible. In one case, shown on an episode of Animal Planet, an old female honey badger that was nearly toothless and had one blind eye was attacked by a leopard. It took the leopard about one hour to kill the honey badger.

Jesus fucking christ.

Pshaw. Those wild Honey Badgers have NOTHING on the domestic ones:

"Honey, take out the trash."

"Honey, are the taxes done yet?"

STOP BADGERING ME!

I :heart: that show.


I knew they were, well...badgers, but I didn't know they were THAT badass. Whomever likened them to a wolverine was dead on! I like how it showed a badger going after a pissed off cobra at the very top of a tree. Balls!

Taking puff adder venom to the face and after a nap continuing the meal...wow...
