Lion finds newborn honey badger - Full video and commentary

[@StefanDosSantos]

Imagine a honey badger raised by lions?! Might just be the scariest thing ever😆

[@leonbadenhorst]

Haha, or the other honey badgers might just think it was raised to be weak

[@ValerieCosens-43]

Some of y'all really think you could hear a TINY bone snap THAT far away from where the guy was filming?? Then yall will believe ANYTHING 😂

[@Robodie]

Tell me you know nothing about audio recording without telling me you know nothing about audio recording. Also use your eyes. You can see the lion raise his lip, start lightly (at first) clenching down, then harder and you can literally see the baby's body jerk sharply as his back breaks. Or could be sternum. But his little body definitely breaks in that lions teeth. BTW my phone can hear my heartbeat when it's sitting next to me on the couch. Yours can too. And that's nothing compared to even a halfway decent cardioid mic.

[@urmomsbf-sx2ys]

​@@Robodie i'm not 100% sure, but i think the raising of the lion's lip when the newborn was in its mouth was also flehmen response, not him biting down

[@ValerieCosens-43]

@@Robodie tell me YOU know nothing about NOTHING 😂 the original video creator made another video EXACTLY about this. And said there is NO way the camera could pick up that sound from as far away as the camera was. So you look straight GOOFY right now! You still have time to delete your comment 😂😂

[@ValerieCosens-43]

@@Robodie tell us why you mad 😂

[@ValerieCosens-43]

@@urmomsbf-sx2ys exactly! Thank you! Like I said to this "genius" in my other comment. The video creator HIMSELF said that's NOT a bone breaking. There is NO way his camera could have picked up that sound, THAT far away.

[@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome]

Thanks for the transparency. I don't know why people wouldn't believe the original video!❤❤

[@ipecac5514]

Thanks for posting more of this footage and giving us a little insight into the whole situation. Those are some majestic beast 🦁

[@leonbadenhorst]

It's a pleasure. Yes they are, amazing experience to have them so close! I'm glad you have gained more insight.

[@Stephen_Brooks]

I saw the short and came here. You didn't have to make this video, but thank you for doing so. 👍

[@leonbadenhorst]

Thanks, many people asked to see more and so many were confused, this clears up many questions and confusion

[@cheyennetapiasmith9056]

Me too❤

[@MeganKugs]

Thank you for clearing up so many questions and thank you for the incredible video. What gorgeous pictures you took! I’m looking forward to watching your other videos.

[@leonbadenhorst]

Glad it was helpful! It really is a strange sighting and that's what makes nature so fascinating, albeit cruel sometimes. Thank you very much! Cannot wait to share more.

[@scarlettkhan9667]

Love the way you included the funny and weird comments that’s such a great idea.

[@leonbadenhorst]

Haha, I just had to.

[@DGTubbs]

LION 1: "I wouldn't, bro. I just sniffed it and it smells terrible." LION 2: "Oh Gawd!" [sniffs again] "Puhh! Your right, that's foul! Imma put it in the grass." LION 1: "OOOOHHHH, you nasty bro!" LION 3: 🤢 "I just threw up in my mouth." 😂

[@leonbadenhorst]

😆

[@Slitzr]

The lion was super gentle with it when it could've easily just crunched down on it or crushed it with its paws. Reminds me of my house cats when they had babies - they would be so gentle when holding them or moving the babies.

[@leonbadenhorst]

Yes really amazing!

It's part of the mercy Allaah put in His creation

[@segunsegbenu5681]

Thanks a lot for this clarification. Someone said that was a lioness, someone said the lion ate the pup, I am happy that you vindicated me and especially vindicated the lion too 👍

[@leonbadenhorst]

@segunsegbenu5681 yes there were lots of confusion and questions. Happy this cleared up this for you!

[@Ezra_skywalker]

The only answer that makes sense to me is that the lion genuinely just didnt wanna hurt it and just moved it outta the way to not disturb the baby or herself basically the the lions just didnt feel ill intent in that moment also shows that lions aren't seriel killers they just do it for food or to protect themselves

[@boxcutter4]

Keep believing that fairytale

[@TheLakeMorgan]

@boxcutter4 The lion did probably moved it. They eat lots of animals and could have eaten it, but they seemed to gentle with the pup.

[@DrowZy_Dragon]

Homie put it in the grass like he wasn't trying to catch any smoke from momma badger 💀.

[@reaper215]

Actually, a Honey Badger raised by Lions might actually chill it out some.

[@leonbadenhorst]

@reaper215 haha, yes it will be a balanced individual

[@1977sallysue]

Thank you for such footage and clarification, the lions and lionesses are absolutely beautiful ❤I’m so glad to hear they didn’t eat the badger , it definitely didn’t look like they did in the video either , that lioness was so gentle with it , is was so beautiful to see thank you ❤❤

[@leonbadenhorst]

@1977sallysue thank you very much, yes it wasn't clear what happened, but unfortunately, the likelihood of the little honey badger surviving is very low.

[@AjayTheBlaze]

It was probably confused, since it was not running and the chase instinct was not triggered

[@barti560]

Lion's are gorgeous beasts though..

[@leonbadenhorst]

Absolutely!

[@MK_75]

Looks like my dog trying to figure out if he can eat something or not.

[@rebexxa]

Yeah, the most curious lion of the bunch just trying to decide whether it’s worth killing it to eat because it stinks.

[@paladinminipedro707]

that is a very strange sighting.

[@leonbadenhorst]

Yes, not something that is seen everyday

[@MeganKugs]

To all the “the lion snapped its spine at the end people” if you watch the full video he explains that he was much too far away for the mic to pick up a sound like that and that it was every him or the camera that made the sound. Do y’all really think this video isn’t zoomed in? Or that he had a boom mic hanging over the lions? I’m not saying he didn’t kill the baby, he might’ve, he might not have. The point is simply that the sound isn’t what you think it is. Also it likely would’ve been mercy had the lion killed it because unless it’s mother comes back quickly and by some miracle the baby isn’t already dehydrated beyond saving, it was out by itself for at least the hour the creator spent with the lions and for some amount of time before he came across them, it would die a slow death instead. It’s sad but it’s nature and it’s important to respect that.

[@traimonroe]

Awwwww! I KNEW he didn’t eat that baby! I watched alot of lion vids and they can be very gentle!! They’re nothing like the bas tard, don’t K their prey hyenas!

[@blooky102]

Lions eat lion cubs if they are not related to them to be able to mate with the female that had the cub, so if that was a lion cub the lion would have ate it and many predators have a hunting response to things running away from them so if something doesn't run that is curious to the lions so they investigate.

[@blooky102]

Although its quite likely the honey badger was eaten still or simply moved away to not smell up the area that they were resting at.

[@joshuamaravilla3439]

I don't think you know what you're talking about

[@FoxNote8]

Can no one tell the tooth if the lion went into the baby badger? You can hear a faint pop when the baby raises quickly, then goes limp when in the mouth. Probably killed it on accident when relocating it, as they have a similar smell to skunks supposedly.

[@jayp8321]

Ya I heard the pop I’m pretty sure the lion just wanted a snack

[@DRAGBOTMARVEL]

5:43 He said that his camera wouldn’t pick up a sound from 20 or 65 feet away.

[@CripWalkingGothKids]

Wrong

[@CripWalkingGothKids]

I can tell you're a 5 year old due to your incapability to understand that a "pop" noise doesn't happen like animal is a balloon or even if it did make a sound the camera is zoomed in and is way further away from where it seems to be😂 "can u not understand that??"😂😂😂😂

[@Ericktepepa]

@@DRAGBOTMARVELI’m pretty sure the people that keep repeating this comment have not watched the video. He literally explained it and they keep exposing themselves. He said the lion had no blood when he came back. Not showing anything. And baby’s move when picked up it’s what they do

[@whiterabbit8754]

They rule the roads. 😅

[@bsivoljr]

Pretty sure they were waiting for mom to return so they’d have a larger meal lol

[@InspireIgnite94]

That's what I was thinking

[@katelynlajune9907]

Darn , I was hoping it was concerned because it was a baby despite it being good

[@789Jasmine]

They are waiting for mum, the big bite😢
