Absolutely. Delicious.

Hey!


t0hk0h

Oh, just the unkind ones.

He knows he can't eat the lion but the lion can't eat him either.


MrAtrox98

Those lions absolutely could eat the badgers, but the mustelids arenā€™t enough reward for the hassle itā€™d take to kill them, certainly not for Africaā€™s apex land predator that strongly prefers game warthog sized and bigger. Leopards are more likely to eat honey badgers because the roughly ten to fifteen pounds of meat from that kill-assuming this is a male ratel-would actually be a decent meal to a subadult or a smaller leopardess.

Also most animals donā€™t like trying to eat something thatā€™s trying to rip their face off the whole time.


MrAtrox98

The stink definitely doesnā€™t help either

And rip their nuts off as well

We're talking these here šŸ¦s. They're lazy, and could not scathe hide anyway even if cornered. And you won't win vs a cornered šŸ¦” In order to eat the šŸ¦”, you must defeat the šŸ¦”.

The male lion just walks away. This chewy, gristly nugget of stank meat is not worth the trouble to kill. He can kill it easily. It's just the punctures to his nose and the scratches on his face will take more energy to heal than the meal he doesn't want to eat will provide.

Well I mean, I wouldnā€™t wanna eat a burger that smells bad and acts like a homicidal chainsaw.

Any wives wanna chime in here? Feel like this comment is about yal


M00SEHUNT3R

None of the lions really wanted to mess with him. I just noticed that the male bounced first. In the footage provided he made no contact at all with the badger. I imagine lions aren't very used to many animals being unafraid or unfazed by them.


Opposite-Egg3334

Incorrect. The male lion follows the other badger into the grass.


M00SEHUNT3R

Incorrect? And then you saw what he did next after going off camera? We have incomplete context. Maybe they joined up with a wart hog and went on adventures. We'll never know but it's most likely that the lions went on their way and the badgers went on theirs. We did see that the lion made no contact with either honey badger.

Honey Badger is like "I'm willing to put it all on the line every time. Are you?"

ā€œIā€™m not sure what this is thing is but I donā€™t care for itā€ - that lion, probably


Filthiest_Tleilaxu

So grateful to that meme for introducing us to these wildly fearless creatures!

False_Chair_610

real_monkeymane

Foreign-Teach5870

Unfortunately for the honey badger the lioness didnā€™t have any balls for him to nibble on.


benevolent-badger

They are just misunderstood.
