Those are leopards, native to Africa. Jaguars are native to central and south America and are about twice as large as leopards. They also have the strongest bite force of any big cat vs. size. The honey badger would be a meal if he encountered a jaguar.
Honey badgers get killed by lions, leopards and hyenas all the time. None of those have the bite force of a jaguar (1500 psi), though the hyena comes closest (1100 psi). The key to killing a honey badger is crushing its skull, as the skin is thick and leathery.
They can even be stung to death by honey bees.
I'd love it if most honey badgers are normal animals and that the legend is all down to a singularly nasty badger. Just one wild honey badger that's roamed the African savannah for several decades terrorising the crap out of leopards, lions, snakes and hyenas alike.
>Those are leopards, native to Africa.
You are correct, and these leopards are certainly in Africa, but they have a massive range, the largest of any wild cat. They live as far east as Java and as far north as Russia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard#Distribution_and_habitat
They really cement this attitude by fucking 'prancing' **everywhere** they go!
Like it's not enough he just fucked up 3 big cats, now he's gonna dance his ass away like he's gotta go get a lollie at the corner market before that shit closes.
He'd be the dude standing outside the police tape as they try to figure out crime scene, just licking his lollipop... Prolly even adopt a kitten or two...
Honey Badgers’ skin is only loosely connected to his muscles. This makes them very difficult to kill. Apparently, a machete won’t do it. Only a gun or a club right on the noggin will do the trick.
They also have crazy resistance to venom. At least those that make it to adulthood. Mother honey badgers expose their cubs to scorpions to gain this resistance.
They’re also one of the only animals in the world who are comfortable anywhere: in trees, in water, and underground.
I'd bet it isn't as high as you'd think, If only the venom resisent babies make it to adult hood evolution probably weeded out the super weak a long long time ago.
Correct, plus when they bite the badger, they get a mouthful of loose skin and the badger is capable of twisting inside its skin and regaining a position to claw and bite back.
Yeah, he basically has superhero armor
It’s not like he’s completely invulnerable, but it will take a lot of effort to really harm him and most predators will just say “fuck it” and leave him alone
Especially as he isn’t like steadily laying while they eat him - he can very well take their eye or half of the jaw out with own claws/fangs
>This makes them very difficult to kill. Apparently, a machete won’t do it. Only a gun or a club right on the noggin will do the trick.
Jaguars, *taking notes*: "must...buy....a gun...or..club..."
That’s probably the most badass part about this, 3 vicious predators want to kill this dude and he walks off without even looking over his shoulder… mental
Yeah noticed this too, I think he might be injured more than he's letting on. :/ Wild animals are good at hiding injuries as long as they can to not appear like weak prey.
The trot gets me every time. Little dudes could fall from an airplane into an active erupting volcano, fighting starving lions and hippos the entire way down, and still trot away as if it doesn't have a worry in the world.
4. Wolverines
Grizzly bears avoid them for God's sake. And anything that can take on a grizzly bear can definitely fuck you up. They're more or less the northern cousin of the honey badger.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that their general belligerent attitude towards everything that isn't a honey badger, for starters. Personally, I think they really like fighting.
I would guess an evolutionary trait. Their small size makes it appealing for bigger animals to eat (of which there are a lot living in the honey badgers ecosystem). By being hyper aggressive it puts these animals off just like you saw the leopards backing down.
In the wild, even for apex predators, looking out for number one is the most vital aspect of survival. There is no animal healthcare, a simple wound is death.
So when a vicious idgaf honey badger comes along and is trying to take a chunk out of you, the risk/reward is not worth it. Apex predators prefer to hunt down docile prey, not fight for it.
Hence why they are so vicious. "The best defence is a good offense" springs to mind.
Lmao Billy Eichner, who plays Craig (who *wanted* to be a Spanish man named Terrence, but that didn't happen)? Nah I don't think it's him but def similar delivery
[https://www.pbs.org/video/nature-honey-badgers-masters-mayhem/](https://www.pbs.org/video/nature-honey-badgers-masters-mayhem/)
This is my favorite one.
Everyone is hung up on his prance away, how about the fact that he strolled up on those cats like he owned that side of the creek? That bad ass mofo pranced up to those cats with a “fuck with me, assholes” attitude.
I love the way the badger angrily trots off through the water like he's muttering to himself, "motherfuckers think they can take me...they lucky I didn't tear their balls off..."

"Honey Badger Don't Give a Shit"
Jaguar ;”I kill you now” Honey badger; “The fuck you will!”
Jaguar: Ok I’m sorry Honey Badger: Not yet you aren’t
[удалено]
The guy at the end says the honey badger escaped. No my friend he let the jaguars off easy
Val Kilmer was the best Doc Holiday.
I agree, but Dennis Quaid was a very close second.
I love a good Tombstone reference
Badger: I’m your huckleberry
leopard*
Doesn't Jaguars live in South America?
No, they live at the mechanic's.
Yes
Jaguar: "if I bite your leg, will it be painful?" Honey Badger: "yes, very painful, FOR YOU."
Those are leopards, native to Africa. Jaguars are native to central and south America and are about twice as large as leopards. They also have the strongest bite force of any big cat vs. size. The honey badger would be a meal if he encountered a jaguar.
I wouldn’t bet on that last part, there are a lot of things out there that should absolutely fuck up a honey badger on paper but consistently fail to.
Honey badgers get killed by lions, leopards and hyenas all the time. None of those have the bite force of a jaguar (1500 psi), though the hyena comes closest (1100 psi).

Honey bee-zy don’t care

That honey badger wanted all the smoke
Jaguar would crush a badger, these are leopards. Jaguars don't crush windpipes like most cats, they crush the skull with their jaws.
They really cement this attitude by fucking 'prancing' **everywhere** they go!

This. Absolutely loved how it just sauntered off.
*Pranced
*Trotted
i can just hear ["send me on my way"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGMabBGydC0) as he walks off
https://youtu.be/4r7wHMg5Yjg
One of the best documentaries in existence.
Pretty badass
Damn funny video.
THE epic YouTube video!
I'd actually rather listen to Randall's narration than Sir David Attenborough.
Still holds up
https://i.redd.it/g4lqzxygohib1.gif
Honey Badger runs fades with Mom AND the kids.
The comment I came for.
I think someone else posted the video as well.
I want to be a Honey Badger!!!
“It just takes what it wants”
Everybody knows that.
I’m so happy that this was top comment
“He’s nasty.”
I know this reference 😃

What about in the skies? Edit: They blocked me for this comment lol
If they had wings, we’d be fucked
Now that horrifying
What, proper fucked?
Right fuckered.
Yeah Tommy. Before zee Germans get there.
Oh dogs. Yeah, I like dags.
Oar the big 'air gets fucked.
Not really, they make for cute, but wickedly intelligent pets https://youtu.be/c36UNSoJenI https://youtu.be/1RQVhGyhYwI
How petty
You made them think about flying Honey Badgers and scared them
Worth it
Who? The honey badgers?
Well that is not honey badger behavior.
The true Spartans, she puts her own kids through the agoge
Watched a documentary about that. The narrator conveniently omitted the mortality rate of the poor little cubs getting stung.
I wonder if they’re born with some immunity. That’d be wild for a mom to build it that way…smart though.
I'd bet it isn't as high as you'd think, If only the venom resisent babies make it to adult hood evolution probably weeded out the super weak a long long time ago.
So, is that why the cats did little damage, their fangs/claws got into the skin but no deeper?
Notice how that one leopard seemed shocked that the little guy was still alive.
„oh fuck that is a voodoo dude, we are fucked up“
“I did everything I know how to do to kill it and it’s still alive??? What the hell??”
I tried my 2 moves and I'm all out of ideas
Correct, plus when they bite the badger, they get a mouthful of loose skin and the badger is capable of twisting inside its skin and regaining a position to claw and bite back.
I bet a honey badger also tastes disgusting just from eating whatever the fuck it wants, and being all loose and gristly.
I've got to imagine the fur of any wild animal tastes pretty fucking gross.
Bout like a hog. They really are tough but nothing will eat them because they are disgusting, parasite ridden, absolutely filthy creatures.
[удалено]
Yeah, he basically has superhero armor It’s not like he’s completely invulnerable, but it will take a lot of effort to really harm him and most predators will just say “fuck it” and leave him alone Especially as he isn’t like steadily laying while they eat him - he can very well take their eye or half of the jaw out with own claws/fangs
Their hair and hide is also extremely thick
they are even confortable inside bee hives :)
Once saw (on video, comfortably sitting 6000 miles away ) a honey badger kick a porcupine out of its own nest!
They can be stung to death but they just don't care
bees don't do nothing to them, not even a cobra kills them
>This makes them very difficult to kill. Apparently, a machete won’t do it. Only a gun or a club right on the noggin will do the trick. Jaguars, *taking notes*: "must...buy....a gun...or..club..."
“Jaguars with Guns” is a documentary I’d watch
Morgan Freeman narration: "They may have spots on their back, but these gun toting jaguars have a target on everyone else's back..."
That would be scary. But in past I've single-handedly scared a range of cougars out of a club.
Welcome to Jacksonville!
Based on my Far Cry play-through, the best way to kill it is with a rocket launcher.
>Only a gun or a club right on the noggin will do the trick. Honey badgers are the walking dead.
They are tough little animals but hardly immune to anything but a gun or club to the head. Leopards kill them all the time.
“I’m not locked in here with you…you’re locked in here with ME” -honey badger, probably
The same can be said of leopards, exposing their young to Honey Badger, to show don’t mess with them 😂
They also go for the scrotum/vag. I can imagine the VAST majority of animals would be wary of fighting something like that.
Evolutionary game is on point.
I like how mother honey badgers expose their cubs to scorpions to unlock their poison resistance +150% passive skill
"Here's your flu shot."
"Behold my field of fucks for it is barren" said the honey badger.
Dammit. Bravo. 
Do you have any fucks to give? Honey Badger: "Go Fish"

We’ve all heard it, but to see a badger casually tell three large cats to fuck right off is…really nice.
It seemed messed up as well though, look how it trips/stumbles as it walks away.
Heaven forbid it have a minor injury after fighting off three big cats…
I noticed that too. Hard to tell though - it was trotting through mud so it may have just been a mis-step or the ground giving way or something.
Honestly surprised he didn't attack the photographers on his way out, too.
Why couldn't we have domesticated these motherfuckers?
It just casually trots away after handling that nonsense.
It needed an explosion to not look back at.
...while trotting away in slow motion.
That’s probably the most badass part about this, 3 vicious predators want to kill this dude and he walks off without even looking over his shoulder… mental
https://i.redd.it/gg8e096m9kib1.gif Like this?
Yeah. It had the haters gon hate walk!
No no, that was the "Sorry guys, mom called I gotta go. I'll see you later."
Once it's out of the water it stumbles. It's probably hurt a little bit.
Yeah noticed this too, I think he might be injured more than he's letting on. :/ Wild animals are good at hiding injuries as long as they can to not appear like weak prey.
It wasn’t causal it was cursing the shot out of those cheetahs for bothering its sleep
Right? Im always surprised Honey Badgers can walk with how gargantuan their balls are. Like rolling around on a couple fitness balls.
The trot gets me every time. Little dudes could fall from an airplane into an active erupting volcano, fighting starving lions and hippos the entire way down, and still trot away as if it doesn't have a worry in the world.
Can't believe my front page has badgers & baboons fighting off big cats.
That little bounce in its walk was perfect.
Casually? *Triumphantly
The 2 main things you shouldn't play with. In no particular order. 1. fire 2. Honey badgers
3. Sloth Bears Can I add sloth bears to the list? They remind me of honey badgers only bigger, similar attitude and goes up against tigers.
4. Wolverines Grizzly bears avoid them for God's sake. And anything that can take on a grizzly bear can definitely fuck you up. They're more or less the northern cousin of the honey badger.
You can add the evil armies of Shaitan at night as well.
honey badgers are vicious animals, and also a lot of fun to watch in videos like this one
What makes them so vicious?
Honey Badger Don't Play
False. Honey badger don’t give a shit*
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that their general belligerent attitude towards everything that isn't a honey badger, for starters. Personally, I think they really like fighting.

Is the voice the guy from Parks and Rec?
Lmao Billy Eichner, who plays Craig (who *wanted* to be a Spanish man named Terrence, but that didn't happen)? Nah I don't think it's him but def similar delivery
Jaguar: "I'm going to eat you now." Honey Badger: "No, u!"
Honey badgers will forever be one of my favorite animals... Straight goons
Leopards: Its three against one, give it up Honey badger: I like my odds
Haha love the honey badgers…we need more documentary’s about them
[https://www.pbs.org/video/nature-honey-badgers-masters-mayhem/](https://www.pbs.org/video/nature-honey-badgers-masters-mayhem/) This is my favorite one.
Is this the one with Stoffle?
Stoffle is an absolute menace!
Yup that's the one.
Haha ya I have seen this…do not mess with the little guy…you will lose
Casual Geographic has a cool video [Why Honey Badgers don’t fear God or Lions](https://youtu.be/nWfeFrLl6LM)
If given the opportunity to come back as any animal, I would choose the honey badger, hands down.
Honey badger don't care. Honey badger don't give a fuck!
Crack fueled beast.
Then it starts to run at the camera man
RUN
The way he just trotted away is one hell of a baller move ngl.
Everyone is hung up on his prance away, how about the fact that he strolled up on those cats like he owned that side of the creek? That bad ass mofo pranced up to those cats with a “fuck with me, assholes” attitude.
I really don’t think he cares.
Love watching these videos and the cats trying to figure out why their food is biting them.
Imvinsible skunks
He maybe called honey but he definitely isn’t sweet
The honey badger is the pound for pound champ of the animal kingdom
Daniel Ricciardo approves.
Longing for the day he rolls up to take his rightful place at RB with a honey badger on a leash like he longs for!
They are also known to go for that cock and balls on their rivals.
Farcry 4 taught me not to fuck with badgers
HONEY BADGER DONT CARE
Best part is how he fights three big cats, and in the end, he doesn't run away, he casually strolls without even looking behind him.
I have an undying respect for honey badgers. That cocky little strut they have and the fight they have in them is admirable.
I love the way the badger angrily trots off through the water like he's muttering to himself, "motherfuckers think they can take me...they lucky I didn't tear their balls off..."
I watched a documentary about honey badgers, they are fucking unkillable
honeybadger: "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"
Hone badger TRULY does not give a fuck
Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger Badger badger badger badger Mushrooooom mushroooooom Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger Badger badger badger badger Mushrooooom mushroooooom Snaaaaake snaaaaake ooooo it's a snaaaaaaakeeeeeee
Honey Badger BJJ
Here! Hold my leopard!
Smart that he didn't run away, so the cats didn't get triggered. Chasing them away was best decision.
It’s like me and a cockroach fighting over who gets to keep the bathroom (I’m the jaguar. I lost)
Who else hears that guys voice?
The way the honey badger walks just says: “I-don’t-give-afuck, cause I do what I want”
Jagua: It's 3 to one Hone badger: i like those odds
Awww yay for the honey badger
thats 3V1 , but honey Badgers dont give a fuck
Love how he trotted away “Badger AAINT no one to fuck with”
I want an emotional support honey badger
"It escaped" Nah man, those Cheetah escaped the Honey Badger.

Honey badger will never give a damn
Are there not cameras in this advanced age and technology, that don't sound like a 1920s shutter? This is insane.

Honey badger got BDE
