A couple of honey badgers fending off a pride of lions
Honey badger attack anything. Honey badger eat anything. Once there was a nice and gentle honey badger. But now he is eaten because Africa is a tough neighborhood to grow up in. Only angry honey badger remains. That's evolution bitch.
Trust me, I'm a honey badger
Bonus honey badger. Also very smart and sneaky
HoneyBadgersAreBadAsses
Look how I am protected from this bus without roof. Lions will never be able to climb her… graawwwlllffff graawll

Imagine being a fuckin lioness. You bite a zebra, it dies. You bite an antelope, it dies. You bite a honey badger.. It is now pissed off.
tkm2
They are now a humility of lions

I do not think a lion would attack an adult honey badger. Their whole body weight is just teeth, claws and sinew.
guiltyalias
I am fascinated at how well they protect each other. Honey Badgers take no shit either. Amazing creatures.
RatBits
This! I didn't expect the immense loyalty being demonstrated here. Honey badgers have got each other's backs, apparently!

Honey badger don't give a shit, it just takes.

Why did I read that as horny badgers
TieflingDelivery
Yes, I was looking for this comment
akasakacali
I'm less shocked by the bravery of the honey badgers than by the bravery of the people filming a pride of lions on the hunt from an open car
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
It’s pretty common on game drives in Africa. As long as ppl don’t stand up the cats identify the vehicle as one big thing. No interest in it
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
Stand up however, and you’re potentially lunch.
RaccoonInMyPants
Don't mess with honey badgers. Saw a nat doc about em, they can take scorpion sting to face and shrug it off. Also saw them eating live cow
canadianreserve
I saw one take a .223 to the face! So crazy! It died instantly though.
RaccoonInMyPants
I guess you found their one weakness
Larirari
Baby cheetas are born looking like honey badgers, an adaptation to help them not get eaten since nothing fucks with honey badgers.

Honey badgers are the number one cause of first death in all the video games Ive played, followed by accidentally jumping off a mountain...
TheSlightlyConfused
Read the title as “A couple of horny badgers fending off a pride of lions”. Slightly disappointed. Still interesting though.
metroid2
No lions you can't play with us right now. We fucking. Come back later.

tred1975
One of them got badly injured
SansAandAnguS
Maybe not. Their skin is very tough as they prey on snakes. Also the lion cubs seem to be taunting/playing.
QueefWind
I thought that. The small of the two. Looked like he/she was beaten up by the way it behaved.
2fligh2high
Go badgers! Fight for your family you fearsome furry fuckers!
cazzegiare
^ Found the cheese head.
bigblindguy
Man has a point: the young lions are playing but that badger gets badly hurt, and his friend charges the lions to save the hurt badger: 1/2
bigblindguy
2/2 Everyone say Badgers dont give a shit, but right there you saw concern for their partner, not many animals would do that for a friend.
RackhamTheRed
These look more like cubs trying to play with the badgers
ligmabolz
It's hard to tell if they're trying to play or just curious
DrArsMoriendi
Yeah they're cubs, you can see mom on the left. She also pulls aside the cub who bites the badger.

I was the 70th upvote, I'm sorry.
Saholinsnake
It's ok, but who was the one downvote....
LowTinaTurner
I'll guess a grammar Nazi who thought a period was needed in place of a comma after "cubs". Or an OCD guy who cant stand 0 downvotes. ?
fbutt09
It’s more curiosity than hunger. If they were hungry, they would have had their meal.
DrArsMoriendi
Not from a badger
bigblindguy
Probably not: mom knows that badgers cannot 1v1 her, but it's about risk VS reward: honey badger comes with very high risk of being cut 1/2
bigblindguy
2/3 and/or bit for a relatively small reward: no antibiotics on the savannah, not worth the risk of getting mauled by the badger, as you get
bigblindguy
3/3 a snack NOW but die of septic shock next week. Lions are not Megaminds but they are not stupid, badger is not worth hunting.
Anonanimal3000
Cats understand antibiotics? Fuck.
StevieMcSteveface
They're also pro-vax.
Targe0
The story of the second video is from a docu piece about how that particular honey-badger is an escape artist. They had to remove most ->
Targe0
Of the stones, sticks and other decorative features in his enclosure because he would use them to escape. He once was paired with a ->
Targe0
Female H.B and he used her as a step stool to escape. A cleaner once left a rake in the pen and it was all he needed to get out.
Rifneno
As a big animal nerd, most of the animals you hear hyped are exaggerated. Hippos're cowards against anything that can fight back, ostriches
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
You ever been to Africa mate? I’d be careful with that attitude.
Rifneno
are more dangerous than cassowaries, ect. Only two animals live up to their hype: honey badgers, and orcas.
bigblindguy
Orcas have bad hype? Pretty sure they are just the largest pack predators and therefor to be respected, as pack predators are smart.
metroid2
Haha ya orcas feast on shark livers. They don't bother with the rest of the shark. It just bleeds to death. I saw a news thing on that.
Curii
Ok, what the fuck can fight back against a hippo?
ThoughtfulTortuga
You know, armoured tanks, fighter jets...
bigblindguy
Elephants are pretty much like Plato. No one argues with them. If enough hyena/lion surround a hippo, it will retreat to water: I don't 1/2
bigblindguy
2/2 think a mature healthy hippo would be in life threatening danger from these, but why get bit and scratched? Just get back in the hottub.
SegyeJibae
a lion pride or a clan of hyena or or crocodiles, they could never win one on one but many vs one would have higher chance of killing.
bigblindguy
Crocodiles dont cooperate tho. Hippo rule the waters they live in, and can only be displaced from it by large bull elephants who are MAD.
Potatopeelerkind
It's usually a bad idea to fight anything (except to reproduce), even if you'll definitely win. Infections kill, even from little wounds.
SegyeJibae
sometimes during desperate times, for food and survival, even dying so that the rest could eat is an option.

That was awesome!
MinBlick
The intelligence of the escapes blows my mind. Stoked to see him in the gif there :)
LuciusNeedful
Stoffel is marvelous.
MinBlick
Like the BEST furry hooligan ever. Made it his mission to fuck with the Lions AFTER being mauled.
nothingtodoandalldaytodoit
Passengers are so lucky the cats didn't decide that the only way to save face was to slaughter all witnesses of their cowardice.
jery007
They look like cubs tbh
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
This type of open vehicle is common in African game drives (safaris, as they’re called by Americans). The animals leave the vehicles alone -
nothingtodoandalldaytodoit
Makes sense. On a side note, your comment sounds like something written by some lion, trying to downplay safari violence.
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
..provided no person stands up and identifies themselves as lunch to the cats. Otherwise the cats view the vehicle as one large thing they
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
..have no interest in. I know this, because I grew up in Africa and have been on thousands of game drives like this.
Dracalia
Those humans have some balls too. Or missing braincells.
whatpassesforclever
Tranq dart machine guns?
Lorithias
I was that close to lion, they don't really care about as long as you stay in car. In "tourist" road you are a part of landscape.
IzzetAltinmese
As long as you are in the vehicle, lions ignore you completely.
Agouti
Nope, in my experience they are one of the few animals that look at YOU, at your face in the back, not at the vehicle. Them and elephants.
Merkava250
Shit no, I'm worried about the badgers seeing an escape route and hijacking the ride
thisisanoriginalusernameithink
You’ve not had the privilege of visiting a game farm in Africa have you?
Dracalia
I haven’t no! Ain’t got that kinda money rn?
IncognitoPanda
It's safe as long as you're in a vehicle
vigilantej
the guides are armed I assure you
HenryLongfellowIII
They're not particularly concerned about lions iirc.
HenryLongfellowIII
When there was a leopard nearby they were concerned.
bigblindguy
You have a better way to die planned out? I would take Eaten by Lions over "Died between the time they wipe his arse for him and souptime"
Abrahamn
BlueWater321
I mean soup is good
SemiLucidUser
Number one sounds like a great way to die, when you state it like that.
bigblindguy
I hate to be in the way. I couldn't take having people care for me. I don't judge, but I stop at car wrecks and run towards the screaming:
bigblindguy
I won't ever risk anyone else's life but I don't have an end goal, I can't think of a good final chapter, I'm not wanting for anything.
toxcrusadr
I plan to get drilled through the head by a shooting star.
SemiLucidUser
Why whom?
LupusLilium
If finally at the end of my rope, I plan on packing a 1-2 weeks worth of food and water, and a buckler and spear.Then wandering off into the
LupusLilium
wilderness to find a bear. Gonna challenge that bear. Why? Because fuck bears.Also if I die, I die. But if I win? I'll be the guy who killed
LupusLilium
a bear with a goddamn spear. If that's not enough to add a few feet to my rope after killing the bear, I can still just give up out there.
Closetnuzzlepuzzla
I can't believe people were bagging the graphics for Far Cry 6. This looks amazing!

Honey badger don't give a shit!

I would also not want to eat anything that thoroughly pissed off

The pink dildo in the lunch kit is a bit of a distraction.

Honey badger gives a lot of shit to others
HoneyBadgersAreBadAsses
This is why they are my favorite animal on land.
LoudBirb
The Wikipedia article for honey badgers is fucking metal: "The skin is also tough enough to resist several machete blows. The only sure...
LoudBirb
way of killing them quickly is through a blow to the skull with a club or a shot to the head with a gun, as their skin is almost..."
LoudBirb
impervious to arrows and spears."

Honey Badger got no regard for you.

Potatopeelerkind
Looks like honey badger gave a shit about the other honey badger at about 0:10
ZeldaShotFirst
Hey. HEY. HEY YOU SIMBA NALA LOOKING SHIT, GTFO MY BUDDY, GUY
bigblindguy
He do. He gives the most shits. He wants to live, wants his buddy to live, and is willing to counterattack lions and fight them for his 1/2
bigblindguy
2/2 buddy's life. Most animals wouldn't, because they don't give a shit. Honey Badger proactively trying to get his family through hell.
bigblindguy
And for anyone thinking Honey Badger's aint living in hell, you try being the size of a corgi in a wild dog, lion and hyena environment.
vigilantej
it is hell, because the honey badger made it that way poor wild dogs, lions, and hyena they stand no chance ='(
