The Life of Honey Badgers | Predator Mondays | National Geographic Wild UK

Honey badgers have to survive on their own after spending the first 14 months of their lives with their mothers. Their first challenge is tackling the heat while facing threats from bigger predators. There is nothing to fear though as honey badgers are armed with a formidable array of offensive and defensive weapons like claws that never stop growing.

Honey badgers are known for their remarkable toughness and fearless ness. They are so Stoic, so determined, clever and confident to tackle any situation and condition

[@sydhsydh1084]

Imagine if honey badger lives in group instead of being solitary animal

[@---wc2zp]

Imagine a Honey Badger is as big as a Kodiak or Polar Bear, I think the animals (Prey or even Predators) in Africa would go extinct much quicker...lol

[@TheForeheadOfDoom666]

Nah we would need to nuke the place

They would lose their Speed, Agility & flexibility and not be able to go places larger Predators can't access.

[@awonsara849]

the size of average dog would be enough

[@---wc2zp]

@@awonsara849 nah i don't think a dog size honey badger could never defeat a kodiak/grizzly/polar bear or even a siberian tiger though

[@Berengier817]

God Almighty I wanna pet one but it would probably murder me

[@Shadow-bs1iu]

Claws that never stop growing!!

[@gettar82]

“…This tiny rodent is the master of Hide & Seek. Unfortunately Honey Badgers don't play games” XD How to realize a whole documentary just with one-liners :D

[@myinnermagpie]

I think honey badgers and Tasmanian devils would be excellent models for obsessive and aggressive human personality disorders. These traits are adaptive for these animals though.

[@ophirbactrius8285]

Sometimes i felt so sadly for a tiny and vulnerably honey bagder who desperately with starvation seeking for food but sadistically at the same time when facing an apex predators like a pride of lion or a gang of spotted hyena. 😢😢

[@giovannigraglia8887]

A mio giudizio è un animale favoloso, con nessuna paura nel combattere con predatori molto più grandi e potenti. Ha tutta la mia approvazione e stima. Se sono in coppia possono sfidare qualsiasi felino.

[@Bentennyson63]
