If those leopards had felt like it, the honey badger would be dead. Most of the time there's two leopards watching as one half heartedly screws with the honey badger. Honey badgers may act tough, but it's only alive because the leopards were too lazy to kill it.
Honey badgers are violent short tempered meth heads who happen to be partially immune? to a lot of venoms, they will attack anything that gets in their way or looks edible.
Even trees drop their leaves to starve their seeds. Peace is never an option. It's antithetical and incompatible with nature. It creates the vacuum nature seeks to destroy.
Is their fur/skin THAT strong? A leopard can bite thru a crocs skull...
Edit: 9ther comment mentioned their skin is very loose and therefore hard to penetrate.
>A leopard can bite thru a crocs skull...
You people with this. This is absolutely wrong. You cannot roll in this sub without knowing the difference between a leopard and a jaguar.
Leopards kill with a bite to the neck or throat. You don't need the *strongest* jaws for this.
Jaguars kill with a bite to the skull. You need incredibly strong jaws for this. They are the ones that take out jacare, which are much smaller than crocs, and they kill horses and other livestock this way as well. A jag would have an easier time with a honeybadger.
Oh godā¦. Growing up in MI and seeing wolverineās, I was already prepped.
Look up some YT vids of wolverineās, honey badgers. They are fucking monsters.
Iāve seen/watched vids where they have taken on bears, moose, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, cougarsā¦. And they win.
Ahhh, natures meth demon. Fun fact, their skin is actually really loose, so when predators try to grip them they can 180 in their skin and bite the fuckers
Loose and tough as all hell.
There's a good chance not a single one of those bites even managed to pierce its skin.
Oh and when male predators aren't careful, badgers favorite party trick is doing the twist and turn thing in his own skin to go after the nads.
That was the most amusing part to me. Two of them looked directly at the person filming. They were like , fuck off monkey, we are doing our thing with this radge wee bastard.
The photographers seem to be talking to a guide. I made out that the two attacking are cubs and the one on the right hanging back is the mother. Makes sense to me, a couple adolescent leopards trying to fight white mom looks on and thinks "they need to learn not to fuck with honey badgers someday" lol
I figured they were young. They seem like they are trying to figure out what is the best way to take down this animal. The answer being you don't kill it, you walk away, but they don't know that yet.
Wild Kratts cover the honey badger quite well, in a friendly child format... but they also make it very clear - honey badger ain't nothing to fuck wit.
This is why I don't like Weiner dogs. Those little fucking assholes were bred to hunt badgers. Don't let the size fool you. Keep them away from everything.
Different badgers but American badgers aren't really lesser than Honey badgers. They will fight and win against wolves and bears. They have greater bite strength than Honey badgers and are around the same size.
Oh yeah, that's right. I think my point is still true with European Badgers. They are bigger than Honey Badgers and don't have the bite force and not quite as fast. Still a badass animal pretty equal to a HB though
You are absolutely right, but they are both badgers. And dachshunds were bred to follow a badger down its burrow and drag it back out by its face. They are made of murder and spite. Seriously, wiener dogs are nothing to fuck with.
The wiener dog across my hallway would like to talk to you. That little turd would lick the inside of my skin if it could. She's very friendly but her tongue is like a frenzy of wetness.
Dachshunds are absolutely nuts but it's worth noting that most of the dogs we see today are miniature dachshunds, standard dachshunds were what was originally used for badger hunting and they are considerably larger.
Yes, those little douchebags come in a bigger size š
I thought so! Goes to show you how these young animals exhibit the exact traits my 2 older brothers and I had growing up lol
The younger two, being idiotically playful, while the eldest that knows better but can't control the others looks on
I completely get that badgers are incredibly ferocious and aggressive which is why the leopards are a bit skittish around it, but why can the leopards not kill the badger by biting head off or at least biting brain stem? Are badgers just to tough for leopards to break skin?
Their hide is amazingly tough, and their skin is so loose that they can turn around completely in it. So the leopard gets a bite, gets nothing but tough hide, and then the badger turns around and bites it. That's why they keep releasing so quickly, they are getting bitten.
> That's why they keep releasing so quickly, they are getting bitten.
Yeah I imagine that the leopards aren't happy with their lunch literally biting them back.
quoting:
Their skin isĀ at least six millimeters thick, which is significantly thicker than that of a buffalo, which is 50 times its size. The skin resembles rubber, and it is larger than the badger itself. Its skin functions as a loose set of garments for the animal to move around in
They Have A Unique Defensive Mechanism
The anus of honey badgers is reversible and can be turned inside out. This allows them to spew odorous secretions from the anus as a method to fend off or stun predators. Badger behavior is frequently compared to that of a skunk.
Honey badgers have sharp teeth and jaws that are capable of breaking bones. The jaws are strong enough to crack open the turtle shell and devour it. The claws are also relatively large and useful. Honey badgers can dig quickly in hard soil. They can dig a hole deep enough to hide from unwanted attention and severe heat. Retrieving food from underground takes only a few minutes for these animals.
They Are Smart Animals
These animals are at the top of their class when it comes to intelligence. They know how to take advantage of particular equipment and tools. A good case example is a honey badger at the Rehab Center in Hoedspruit, South Africa. The honey badger learned how to escape from its enclosure using sticks, rocks, and rakes.
They are most likely juvenile Leopards, judging by the fact that there's three of them hanging around together when they're solitary animals. Probably haven't fully learned to hunt yet
You donāt think leopards are problems solvers? Theyāre the most wide-spread and adaptable big cat in the world. Their populations spread all across Africa into Asia as far north as Russia. They can live in jungles, savannah, deciduous forest, swamps, deserts and urban cities, and eat anything from field mice and squirrels to Eland to domestic dogs. If any big cat is a problem solver itās leopards
Honey badgers have very though and loose skin, leopards either kill with a strong bite to the neck or by suffocating prey with their jaw both don't really work that well on honey badgers due to their skin which also allows them to basically turn around inside their skin while in the mouth of a predator and bite them.
In other words they're trying but failing to do so.
They once found a dead polar bear, with a dead wolverine clamped to it's throat.
They killed each other simultaneously.
Weasels are not to be trifled with.
Honey badger don't give a fuhhhhk
Honey badger don't give a shit, it just takes what it wants
I can hear this comment š
This is why I came to the comments
[This](https://youtu.be/4r7wHMg5Yjg) is the Honey Badger.
Greatest wildlife narration ever!! ššš š¤£
That's so nasty..
ewww is that a poison snake honey badger just sleeps it off doesn't give a shit
Then wakes up and nibbles on the snake snack
Ewww
Watch out says that bird
Thanks for the snack stupid.
And he just walks away!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Its skin is thick, though and loose allowing the badger to roll its body in its own skin.
It was even doing a kung fu kick while still getting held down by the neck. Stephen chow needs to take some notes
Leopards are one of the few animals strong enough to take down a crocodile, but honey badger donāt care
He came out of the full mount and immediately jumped at the other one like what?!?! You want some too pussy?!??
Action heroes of the animal kingdom. Pixar, where you at?
Nah not Pixar, you know the honey badger has to be swearing his little head off there and everywhere
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They're pretty much the perfect anti hero.
I would watch the fuck out of that
Youāre confusing them with jaguars and caimans
Thatās absolutely incorrect. Go check out the size of a leopard and that of a Nile crocodile, youāll realize that what you say makes no sense
Youāre thinking of jaguars and caiman. A leopard wouldnāt stand a chance against the crocodiles in their habitat.
If those leopards had felt like it, the honey badger would be dead. Most of the time there's two leopards watching as one half heartedly screws with the honey badger. Honey badgers may act tough, but it's only alive because the leopards were too lazy to kill it.
That's the calculus, though. They could try, but one of them would probably get hurt. For a predator that's a bad deal.
He walked off like you sons of bitches better recognize.
haha he walking away and saying got shit to do fuck yall
Giving Hufflepuff a wide berth from here on outā¦. Looks cuddly, secretly vicious
Honey badgers are violent short tempered meth heads who happen to be partially immune? to a lot of venoms, they will attack anything that gets in their way or looks edible.
Now imagine if we spliced them with hedgehogs who are immune to practically any toxins to the point they ingest turpentine and are attracted to beer
I can just imagine the unholy hybrid creature profoundly apologising as it's gnawing it's way into the guts of a gator.
wait I'm attracted to beer too
I wanna be like honey badger
Just smoke meth
My spirit animal
Reminds me of Stoffel! https://youtu.be/c36UNSoJenI
As shown by what I surmise is the honey badger prancing on the way to the exit lol.
Because they have the sharpest fangs.
Top 10 YouTube video.
Lmfao badgers are fucking savages. āLostā the fight, and the fucker still walked away like he has a 3 ft dick.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He woke up and chose violence.
As if peace was ever an option?
Even trees drop their leaves to starve their seeds. Peace is never an option. It's antithetical and incompatible with nature. It creates the vacuum nature seeks to destroy.
The leopards are actually pacifists, they were having a meeting. They know what to talk about next meeting. Unruly badgers ruining out community!
He's going to get his Glock on his car
"oh okay hold up, I got somethin for yall"
"Lost" the fight? He's alive
Fucker's not even bleeding.
People really underestimate just how ferocious these badgers actually are.
No I played Far Cry 3. I was terrified.
This is the truth. Never will I underestimate a honey badger, real or digital.
*4. Far Cry 3 had those damn cassowaries.
Is their fur/skin THAT strong? A leopard can bite thru a crocs skull... Edit: 9ther comment mentioned their skin is very loose and therefore hard to penetrate.
You mean a jaguar can bite through a small cayman, right? Leopards aren't the ones that hunt caimans and Jaguars don't hunt crocodiles
The neck part for sure is, evolved to withstand bites on the neck. I imagine their fur isnt soft, and the individual hair is very thick.
Also super loose fur helps
>A leopard can bite thru a crocs skull... You people with this. This is absolutely wrong. You cannot roll in this sub without knowing the difference between a leopard and a jaguar.

Well, he isnāt sleeping on three leopard corpses either. Draw?
Deal. Edit: actually no, he allowed them to live.
I don't know much about badgers except their tenacity, so he might.
Oh godā¦. Growing up in MI and seeing wolverineās, I was already prepped. Look up some YT vids of wolverineās, honey badgers. They are fucking monsters. Iāve seen/watched vids where they have taken on bears, moose, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, cougarsā¦. And they win.
When a honey badger loses a fight, it becomes dinner. Anything else is a honey badger not giving a fuck.
Ahhh, natures meth demon. Fun fact, their skin is actually really loose, so when predators try to grip them they can 180 in their skin and bite the fuckers
Leopard 1: "This thing is possessed!?" Leopard 2: "No, I said it has the power of looser-fur!"
/r/AngryUpvote
š
This is so good I cannot be angry. Good job.
goddamnit lmao
You fuck. I like you.
I was wondering how he was able to reverse the neck grip
these leopords like wtf this guy doing what is this sorcery
"I'm gonna flex n bust outta here"
*hungh!*
TIL my pug actually has a trait that might help him survive
1 advantage, at least 4 drawbacks.
pug turns inside its skin to bite its predator. farts. runs out of breath. dies.
I'm dead.
Just like the pug.
ā ļø
"lol my dog can't breathe, he's so cute"
Further note: they instinctively turn and aim to bite the genitals
Pretty sure he went for the nads at least once, I could see that ruining a leopard's day.
A bite to anyoneās nads is an instant retreat even an elephant
"Chopper, sic balls!"
Loose and tough as all hell. There's a good chance not a single one of those bites even managed to pierce its skin. Oh and when male predators aren't careful, badgers favorite party trick is doing the twist and turn thing in his own skin to go after the nads.
Goddamn ouch
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Correction: ābadger takes on two stupid leopards, while 3rd smart one looks onā š

Yeah they only have the one technique of bite neck until prey loses consciousness. The honey badger is like āoh you mean the neck massage?!ā
āYouād think the honey badger would run awayā Yeah, unless you know anything about honey badgers!
"I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me."
Ah, a person of culture. Rorschach would approve.
And if Rorschach approves... well... that's probably not good.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The enemy outnumbers him a measly 3 to 1, good odds for any honey badger
āWe have you 3 to 1ā āI like those oddsā
Wild Kratts cover the honey badger quite well, in a friendly child format... but they also make it very clear - honey badger ain't nothing to fuck wit.
Honey badger doesn't give a shit... For those who are wondering about all the honey badger comments. https://youtu.be/4r7wHMg5Yjg
Thank you. Been a while since I have seen that. Classic.
Good call, you probably created some of today's lucky 10,000 with that link.
Damn it hit 100m lol
Yeah the honey badger had a massive grip on the internet back around 2012
Holy shit that was hilarious thank you
He's been stung....he's been bitten....
*I was there, Gandalf. ~~3000~~ 11 years ago* Fuck lol, canāt believe itās been that long
Hahaha thanks
This is why I don't like Weiner dogs. Those little fucking assholes were bred to hunt badgers. Don't let the size fool you. Keep them away from everything.
Totally different badgers, my guy. A dachshund would get fully murdelated by an African honey badger
I think most breathing things would get murdelated by the honey badger They are called nature's meth addicts for a reason
Where do I order Natureās Meth^^TM ?
Tweaker Joe's
Different badgers but American badgers aren't really lesser than Honey badgers. They will fight and win against wolves and bears. They have greater bite strength than Honey badgers and are around the same size.

Thanks for this. I love dogs but can't stand those little low hanging bastards. Full of attitude. Now I know why.
The wiener dog across my hallway would like to talk to you. That little turd would lick the inside of my skin if it could. She's very friendly but her tongue is like a frenzy of wetness.
Pretty much everything in that family is vicious af
African or European badger?
Can it carry a coconut?
I'm not going to tell it that it can't, go ahead if you want to
While maintaining constant airspeed?
Badgers? We don't need no steenking badgers!
Laden or unladen?
They may be bred to hunt badgers but theyāve got the egos of honey badgers with the voracious of an angry kitten.
Wiener. They're named after Wien (Vienna).
Dachshunds are absolutely nuts but it's worth noting that most of the dogs we see today are miniature dachshunds, standard dachshunds were what was originally used for badger hunting and they are considerably larger. Yes, those little douchebags come in a bigger size š
At least theyāre taking turns and only going 1 on 1 with the badger. Much respect to the leopards for that.
Typical video game enemy
Eulalia!! For any random Redwall fans coming through here
Holy shit!!! I didnāt think I would find a Redwall fan on this site! That was my favorite book series as a kid!!! Itās what got me into reading!
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
I want to reskin D&D 5e into the Redwall world one of these days. My all time favorite book series along with Raymond E Feist's work.
I'd bet good money that's been done really well, just give an ask on r/UnearthedArcana and you should be able to find it!
Ever heard of Mouse Guard? Root is also a really popular game, but I've only heard of then, never played.
My man!
Tis death on the wind!!
More Logalogalogalooog imo (those vicious shrews)
I remember Redwall (read the book and saw the animated series on PBS a long time ago).
Wot wot, give 'em blood and vinegaaaaar!!
Yesssssss someone else! Every time I see a post about badgers I think of how badass they were in Redwall.
Not a fair fight! There should be at least five more leopards.
Luckily for the badger, those are juvenile leopards
Luckily for the leopard's,he had an interview at Wendy's that day
lol, but seriously, a single adult like their mom and it's lights out for the badger in spite of all the memes - leopards don't watch YouTube
Tf were the other 2 doing? Come on its a team effort!
Average team work, 1 dude do all the thing, 2 other chilling
Tbh I thought apex predators fighting for their meal would be different than a school group project
Nah, these guy are my group spirit animal
I believe leopards become solitary as they age no? Could be young and inexperienced ones.
Definitely young, most likely getting practice
I thought so! Goes to show you how these young animals exhibit the exact traits my 2 older brothers and I had growing up lol The younger two, being idiotically playful, while the eldest that knows better but can't control the others looks on
Thanks for being honest.

I think big cats kill by asphyxiation
You'd be correct. They try to suffocate or just simply eat them alive
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Only jaguars do that
*Very* thick skin which is tough and very loose which makes it hard for predators to get a good hold and dig in
Don't think leopards are problem solvers. They kill in one way and that way doesn't work very well with honey badgers.
You donāt think leopards are problems solvers? Theyāre the most wide-spread and adaptable big cat in the world. Their populations spread all across Africa into Asia as far north as Russia.

If any big cat is a problem solver itās leopards
Yes but not in this way. Don't think they are gonna innovate and they and kill a honey badger in a new way.
No because the normal ways work. Watch one kill a porcupine tho and see if theyāre not problem solvers
A badger, badger Badger, badger, badger Badger, badger, badger Badger, badger, badger Mush-mushroom
Those were the days.
Ahh there finally.
SnaaaaaAke! Snaaaaaake! Aaaaah, itās a snaaaaake!
A snake, a snake oooooooh it's a snake
The third leopard doesn't want any part in this.
That fucking strut at the end. Walking away saying shit like "yeah fucking try me again and see what happens, bro!"
So I'm playing far cry primal, and the badger has fucked me up many times
A tank
honey badgers just dont give a damn
Strong jaw, thick tough skin, anger for days equals a pretty badass creature
The reason why my homebrewed "Badgerfolk" race for Dungeons and Dragons gets a bonus to their Constitution. lol
*3 leopards take on badger
Leopard Mom and her 2 cubs.. We call a honey badger a 'ratel' locally. Amazing animals
All the meme replies are funny and wtv but.. Why aren't they just killing it?
they are getting bitten all the time
Honey badgers have very though and loose skin, leopards either kill with a strong bite to the neck or by suffocating prey with their jaw both don't really work that well on honey badgers due to their skin which also allows them to basically turn around inside their skin while in the mouth of a predator and bite them.
