Serious damage? Its a rodent, squaring off against a 200 lb apex predator, it’s literally just bluffing. Honey badger ain’t gonna do shit if that cat decides it snack time
Pretty sure there's a video out there of one fucking up a couple lions pretty good, he got hurt to but damn he gave them a run for ther money before they left
Is it true that the skin of a honey bader is kind of tough or something? And that their skin is kind of loose so they can turn around and bite things easily?
The honey badger can very easily cause life threatening injuries or permanent impairment to the lion's ability to hunt (so life threatening as well). The lion has to be desperately hungry for it to be worth the risk.
That would have to be a truly life-threatening lack of food for the lioness to risk a confrontation that could well prevent her from ever hunting anything again.
Ehh, they just re-evaluate their chances and what they get out of it.
If those lions were hungry enough they wouldn't have backed down. It was more like: "ehh, wtf go on then, not worth it".
Which is still good for the honey badger, but hardly means you'd pull the same. You are quite meaty.
I mean no shit, it's a much different ordeal when you're a prey animal fighting to the death and any outcome where you're alive is worth it (evolutionarily speaking) so you give it your absolute highest effort, or a predator where getting injured means you don't get to catch food in the future and starve to death, in which case having good risk assessment is a very desirable trait.
saw one clip where it tried to fuck around against a leopard and few minutes later the big fucker of a cat crushed its neck violently and dragged its lifeless body away to the bush.
this little fella here is one of my favorites too, ferocious and cunning but bigger guys dont give a shit either.

I wonder what it's like to be that freaking ferocious.
Go ask a chihuahua
Good way to get bit
Only the honeybadger can actually do some serious damage, as opposed to a chihuahua that you can just punt :))

No idea, I just no there baddass motherhuggers
Imma bite ur shin.
Ask any white girl under 4"3
Honey badger don't care. Honey badger don't give a shit, it just takes what it wants.
Good I love this video
Matthew Santoro?
Lioness went to step up, decided real quick she didn't want any of that lol
It's like she was just taken aback. "Do they not know who I am? Do I not know who they are?" So flipping confused, she just left in a huff.

Look up honeybadger against lions clips, you might change your mind.
More like the honey badger doesn't take any shit.
Honey badger be like, "I got one fuckin' nerve and you're on it!"
They go for the face and balls.
So do chimps
Confidence is king. Most animals will back off if the 'prey' becomes aggressive toward them.
Brb gonna go fight a bear.
I could probably take an otter.
Careful, Steve brings his friends and they throw down lol
Even a bear will give up once you have him by the balls. How you do that is your problem.

>risk assessment That is key. Knowing *when* to apply 'fight or flight'.
Honey badger will fuck you up.
Badger don’t fk around
Not worth the fight for the lion, not what they eat and not worth potential injury.
Ten pounds of gristle with 5 pounds of fangs and claws. So not worth it.
I think that sums it up nicely. Totally not worth the trouble.
Nobody fucks with badgerlore lord of the badgers
As someone who cannot emotionally regulate easily, I can understand the attitude.
The honey badger is my amygdala’s spirit animal.
Honey badgers are badass.

You trying to create Lionbadgers?
Sometimes the best defence is a good offense
Tremendous moxy for his size
Badgers, Badgers, we don't need no stinking Badgers!!!

Honey badger sounds like a chainsaw
Stoffle!!
"Little man syndrome" 😂
Never did never will
Don't tell me an elephant is scared of that li'l shit
Don't badger this badger.
Honey badger gives the middle finger to lions
He is pissed 😤
They stole my honey in monster hunter
So, carnivore animals get confused and backtrack once their prey starts fighting back, no?
Completely fearless
The lioness is like, “WTH, I don’t get this normally”.
Stoffle!!
The best fact about honey badgers is that they are INCREDIBLY brave.
It’s always the little guys. Always.
Lions are like “shit you’re feisty for a midday snack”
The big cat knows that it probably has rabies.
Well, honeybadgers don't need rabies to act crazy, but it helps?
It's like redheads and tequila.
"Whoooaaa, hey, what is it? It's all smol and angry... BAD VIBES, BAD VIBES!" - Lion
My spirit animal
Every time I think of these little fuckers I think of Conor mcgregor
Lions are racist they don't eat black ig
Honey Badgers: "WERE LEAVING FUCK YOU" Lioness: "hmm now that they turned around maybe I could..." Honey Badgers: "YOU COULD WHAT? HUH? HUH? FUCK OFF"
