The cats are young, the honey badger was clement and generous.

We're missing the start, but I choose to believe that the honey badger casually walked to these leopards and started bullying them.

- Think you can take me down, do you?
- That depends. How long can you hold your breath and still fight back?
- Watch this.

I can imagine the shear amount of vulgarity that badger is chucking out to those three cats, and I wouldn't be surprised if it started the fight too for just because.

And you got these fucking claws and these fangs, man! And you're looking at your claws and you're looking at your fangs. And you're thinking to yourself, you don't know what to do, man. "I don't know how to kill the honey badger." With *this* you don't know how to kill the honey badger, do you know what I mean?

Fun video by Casual Geographic about honey badgers, and, of course, some side information. I say fun, but some of that side information is cursed knowledge. Nature is brutal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWfeFrLl6LM

The honey badger clearly outnumbered the kitties 1 to 3.

The video I’ve seen in which the honey badger was a loser was against a bull elephant.

Honestly, I would call that one more of a tie.
AvsFreak
Yeah, but that's like a man taking on a mountain. And the mountain just curb stomps your ass.

The Badger could have ran off several times. He chose to stay and fuck up some adolescent cheetah ass..!!

Their skin is so loose, when something bites them, they just grab skin and the honey badger can still twist and turn to get out. They are formidable.

ty i was wondering how they were failing to just rip its neck open

Honey badger skin/fur is so thick, rubbery, and tough that it just... doesn't.
Generally speaking, the few animals that do prey on honey badgers usually end up killing them through asphyxiation or blunt force. They gotta work real hard to get through the skin afterwards.
The skin is so famously tough that hunting/safari websites recommend not using arrows or spears for hunting Honey Badgers because they just... don't really work.

wow! i always figured they were hard to kill just because of how much they were willing to throw down to survive but this is fascinating!

Makes me think of Wombats. AI summary (it is pretty much identical to what I was told by wildpark staff when I got to lift one of those super heavy fuggers... and saves me typing it out): If a predator follows them into the burrow, the wombat uses powerful hind legs to shunts its backside upwards with immense force, crushing the predator's head or choking it. They are known to use their heavily armoured, cartilage-based backsides to pin or crush threats, sometimes described as twerking to death.

omg i think i love them
