Why Honey Badgers Don't Fear God or Lions (Casual Geographic Reaction)

No; education is supposed to be confusing and inaccessible. I have to shut down his channel.

[@DaSoulmann]

I grew up in the country, we had Cougars, Bears, Skunks Porcupines River Otters etc, which we respected, and learned to avoid... the Badger on the other hand, we feared.. we knew by reputation they are very nasty and unpredictable. I was in the Prairies, hitching a ride along the highway, was around 2am, maybe 3... all lone in the middle of nowhere, I hear click click click, I turn to see what the sound was... it was a full grown Badger. I became a statue, and didn't look at it directly. Once it saw it was all clear, it continued crossing the highway... I didn't move until it was well into the bush on the other side of the road. Yes your out of the ordinary post, really brought back a scary memory... luckily I can laugh about it now.

[@Lmi.N]

I grew with your mom

[@richardmiyoyo2116]

African honey badgers,cougars and bears are not found in the same geography..i reckon. For one....Africa doesn't have any bears or cougars.

[@DaSoulmann]

You are correct, and I said Badger, not Honey Badger, and they have the same reputation in North America... they are vicious and unrelenting. The other animals I mentioned were referencing the animals in the geographical area I am from... when an entire population has respect for every animal I mentioned, but fears the Badger... that's speaks volumes. The only other animal feared here is the Wolverine, and for the same reasons. I hope that clears up your confusion.

[@scar445]

as terrifying as that is, try hearing the grunting and coughing in the bushes nearby while taking a piss in the forest. You suddenly become extremely aware of just how squishy certain parts of your body is.

[@DaSoulmann]

@@scar445 I had that happen when I was cutting back through the woods from a friends place... Heard grunting and breathing. I saw the eyes first, and I booked it through the trees towards home... I heard something following behind and it was big. I heard our Dogs barking as I flew down the hill into the back of the house. Open the glass door, and slammed in closed behind me. I turn to see what was chasing me, it was a Bull that had escaped from the farm next to us. We got him back into his pen, but it took my heart a while to get out of my throat. I also had some wild adventures living off-grid in the bush... sometimes you get the feeling you are going to end up a snack. Or Fishing in a 13' boat for Salmon, and a Killer Whale comes up beside you, and you get an eye to eye view. One flick of his tail and we would have been aquasnacks. Also had the displeasure of coming across a dead Grey Whale.. not a pleasant smell to be sure, but I sure felt small next to it.

[@IanDarley]

Leopards have been known to carry zebra kills up trees before going to retrieve their cubs to eat. Imagine being strong enough to carry what is basically a horse up a tree in you teeth and using your nails to climb! My cat once brought me a stoat kill as a gift, when my vetinary nurse missus told her boss about this, he was astounded and said that my cat was lucky to have survived the encounter.

[@0001captainawesome]

They can comfortably and effortlessly carry twice their own weight up a tree. Pound for pound I beleive the are the strongest cat in proportion to their size. They also drag their food up trees, and will leave it their for a while, so as to prevent other carnivores/omnivores from stealing their food. Kind of like when a person goes camping and ties their food up in a bag when they are camping and slings it over a high hanging tree branch.

[@Lightning_Lance]

[@thewhat6219]

Love the Stoffal stories, I saw him in a video about escape artist animals. One of the animals that surprised me the most tho? Squids. Freakishly hard to contain for some reason, for much the same reasons as Stoffal. Edit: Realized I meant octopuses (or octopod, or octopi. All apply).

[@NoProtocol]

Squids are also impressive! I hadn’t heard about Stoffal before but that may have been my favorite part of the video

[@LaoWatsonSmith]

@@NoProtocol there are a lot of videos about Stoffal, you’ll love them

[@paiute6911]

It’s always a delight to see a “No Protocol” video notification. You are definitely one of my favorite KZbin channels. Everything you put out is gold. Please keep up the good work. 👍 P.S. Bone marrow tacos are amazing , but my favorite is Tripas.

[@NoProtocol]

Thanks for taking the time to say this (: I’m glad you like the channel so far Paiute! Tripa is also good but I’ll take tuétano any day

[@gcolombelli]

Otters look adorable on camera, but living in an area where giant otters are common and having seen them eating fish and defending their territory from other predators like ocelots and even jaguars, I just don't feel like getting too close to them and risk becoming the focus of their rage. Yes, they're absolutely cute and adorable when relaxed, but also absolutely vicious when they choose violence.

[@MikeB12800]

Casual Geographic is a great presenter. He didn’t intend to do animal videos, but he did one and it blew up so he just keeps doing them!

[@NoProtocol]

I really like his deadpan humor

[@se7enhaender]

Love your ability to change your mind so readily, when new information is presented. I don't think a lot of people can do that as well as you can. (Probably doesn't hurt that you look cute while doing so.)

[@tonycardone990]

Skunks were considered mustelids but are now in their own class. They do derive from a common ancestor though and are very similar without the aggression aspect. Their more developed scent glands are a good way to deture a conflict before it starts.

[@NoProtocol]

Thanks for this Tony!

[@gordonpromish9218]

6:25 leopards are generalists, not optimized for any one thing but highly capable across the board. Leopards not only climb trees but like to drop from them onto their prey. from, like, 20 feet up.

[@louisaziz1235]

FYI... River otters in South America in the Amazon River area are called river wolves. They are quite large and territorial. They are known to have attacked jaguars and caimans without fear. So, if your dog fell into the river and was attacked by river otters, I would advise you to keep away from the river and say a prayer for your beloved pet. You would not stand a chance.

[@socket_error1000]

If you ever get a chance to visit a zoo with a wolverine exhibit, it is an experience to see them up close. (Northwest Trek in Washington State often has them.) It is more than the fact they look like a cross between a honey badger and a grizzly bear but the sound and size of them is truly impressive. Their claws were one of the most shocking parts as they looked like some sort of mad scientist grafted bear claws far too big for them onto the already oversize mitts. The constant growls and grunts they made as they wandered around their enclosure made me think of Taz, WBs Tasmanian Devil. Not an animal you would want to end up on the wrong side of in the wild.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

They're surprisingly good and caring parents; even the males are really good with the kits. Those claws are pretty much Omni-tools; excavations, tree and rock climbing, defense, attack, ice crampons...add in snowshoe paws, fur so densely insulative that _snow doesn't melt under a wolverine,_ and bone-crushing jaws and it's no wonder that wolverines have the capacity to back up their bluffs against bears, wolves and pumas~

[@RespectMyAuthoritaah]

[@nerdiboy5128]

0:25: Technically, Honey Badgers and Skunks are somewhat related, being that (formerly, in the case of Skunks) both are members of the *_Mustelidae_* ("Weasel") family, which you could notice because of similar traits (the whole black with white stripes fur pattern, the horrible smell that both can deliver from anal pouches when they feel threatened or annoyed, and being mammalian carnivores with stocky, short bodies, and round ears). However, a few years back, Taxonomists and Geneticists realized that Skunks were more closely related to a creature called the "Stink Badger," and decided to lump Skunks and Stink Badgers into their own distinct family, *_Mephitidae_* ("Foul Smell"), moving them out of the Mustelidae family. I hear there are talks about whether Honey Badgers should stay with the Mustelids, join the Mephitidae, or be given their own unique family to belong to too.

[@Wangpi3ce]

Fun fact about otters, the Giant River Otter found in South America can reach up to 6 feet long! Aggressively territorial with groups up to 10 members, and a bite force of 414 newton's, enough to liberate appendages fairly easily. Friendly reminder to everyone, just because an animal looks cute, doesn't mean it won't fuck your shit up :)

[@princeoftonga]

Absolutely! In fact most characteristics we find “cute” are things that enable said fucking up of your shit! Things like big eyes on the front of the head for good vision with depth perception, rotating ear flaps on the top of the head for sensitive directional hearing. And if you’re really unlucky grasping hand like paws for dexterity.

[@NeilOosthuizen]

[@WarWolfeX]

Musseltids are one of my favortie animal family groups. They are so fascnating and often overlooked. Wolverines are endlessly intriguing as well as Honey Badgers. River Otters are actually quite terrifying and insanely territorial as well as fearless. I'm glad he mentiones Stoats because the fact that they hunt and kill rabbits twice their size is crazy. If you ever heard of the story Watership Down it features a stoat that makes the Rabbits life hell lol. Fishers are also apart of that family and they are famous for hunting down Procupines. They are prolific at killing them and use all kinds of strategies to take them down. Fishers were hunted for their fur back in the day and driven to extinction in their native range in many areas. That allowed Procupines to run rampant and they are infamous for eating trees and killing them. The Fisher had to be reintroduced to balance this out, as scientist believed the two coevolved as predator and prey. Anyways, highly fascinaiting animals lol

[@Canadagraphs]

[@michaelgreico9630]

The mustelid family is underrated. Aka Weasels. They have some of the most crackhead energy and courage in the animal kingdom. Compact, muscular, and unusually strong for their size. Honey badgers, wolverines, skunks, weasels, stouts, among others. Whether it be a honey badger scaring away a lion or a wolverine taking down a moose or fighting to the death against a black bear, they are NOT to be trifled with.

[@CassieAngelica]

[@millsy1861]

You should check out the Clouded Leopard. They practically live in trees, so much so their feet can rotate 180 degrees for superb tree climbing abilities. Another big cat, the African Cheetah, its cubs when first born up to about 3/4 months, actually look abit like a honey badge it's thought the reason for this is to deter predators making them think twice about attacking a potential honey badge, as we have seen here, it's not easy at all. Mother nature and her mimicking skills are truly amazing.

Fire ants have a nasty strategy. They're very small so you don't feel them crawling on you. If you accidentally stand near their hill, they don't just bite randomly with their painful venom. They wait until a few dozen of them are on you and then one of them gives a signal so it's instant pain times twenty.

I'd say "hello" and walk past. we always got along fine. there were no problems.

I've been a student of biology and the natural world ever since I was a child, never stopped. Literally thousands of hours of reading and documentaries. My first love was and is caniforms. Even knowing what I know about dangers where I am such as bears, cougars, wolves, etc, I still jump in when we have a run in. I'm live up in the mountains in a tiny house and I've walked out my front door or turned the corner to my door and have met about every creature native to my area. Lots of bears and more cougars than I'm comfortable with. There's been several dust-ups. My 10 year old dog, Mac, even broke off a canine in a bears rump when he was in his prime. I have to carry a pistol or two because when I moved up here I figured "well, bear spray will work", it does not in fact work that well in my experience and they have to get too close. Then you're hurting your dogs and probably yourself too by spraying it... and probably just pissing it off to be honest. Warning shots usually work and when they don't you had better be quick and a good shot. If I catch a bear or cougar far enough off to allow me I will use my .22 pistol with super light and fast copper polymer rounds that are loud and just sting the animal. That often works so I don't have to use my 10mm which I like because I don't want to kill or severely injure an animal if it's not necessary but if it's messing with my dogs? I'm charging in like an idiot and filling that thing with lead. It's just reflex, I know all the rules, safety, but I just go into autopilot. Next thing I know I'm trying to pull them all apart and looking for the night night switch. It sounds awful but they're my dogs, I love em.

[@Mayhem-pv9cc]
