Taping the bastard. I'm at the in laws watching some right old ****. There's no love for the honey badger here and I am not amused.
1 The Honey Badger measures 9ins to 11ins to its shoulder and up to 30ins in length. 2 The Honey Badger is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most fearless creature in the world. 3 Honey Badgers have a very thick rubbery skin which is about a quarter of an inch thick. 4 The skin is so tough that it is impervious to traditionally made arrows and spears and can take a full blow from a machete. 5 The thick skin is loose so when caught by a predator it can wriggle and get its teeth and claws in position to attack the face. 6 Predators know that while they may kill a Honey Badger they are likely to die in the encounter too. 7 Honey Badgers have sharp teeth and very powerful jaws and eats every part of its prey. 8 The tough little beggars are also immune to many stings and venom. They can get bitten by King Cobras and Puff Adders many times with little effect. 9 Not only does it have armoured skin, sharp teeth and claws, immune to poison but it is also very smart. Honey Badgers have been observed using tools to catch prey. They also are smart enough to follow Honeyguide birds to find beehives where they’ll eat the larvae and honey. 10 The Honey Badger can also emit a strong, stifling odour that they use as a form of defence against large predators like lions. 11 Lions and leopards tend to give the Honey Badger a large berth, and they have been seen chasing lions off of a kill taking it for their own. One attack that was observed saw three Honey Badgers chase off seven lions from a kill. 12 Honey Badgers are able to dig quickly into hard earth. Within a few minutes they can dig a hole deep enough to hide themselves. 13 One particularly vicious tactic the animals use on larger prey is to castrate them and then wait for the animal to weaken from bleeding. There you go, all you need to know about Honey Badgers. Number 13 is especially eye opening.
In light of the 'go for the balls' concept there's a much more amusing word for cat you could have used. remember the humour age on this board is about 13.
I have to say, I think they've an undeserved bad reputation. They're just cute, furry little animals please log in to view this image
when I first heard the name honey badger I thought someone was joking but they are evil little ****ers that command respect
Honey Badgers are the ultimate creature, I want one, ****ing beasts. There's a video on YouTube of one taking on a pride of lions, yes of course it gives the lions a ****ing good hiding. And obviously I'm watching this, what else could one possibly wish to watch? It'd even trump all at 9pm on a Monday or 8pm on a Sunday in top gear season.
They're called honey badgers for a reason. Is a very apt name, deceiving, just like the winderful monsters themselves.
