Two honey badgers take on three lions by snarling and hissing at them until they ran away

This is the incredible moment two honey badgers took on three lions who then ran away from the tiny aggressors. The small badgers were confronted with the much larger predators on a dirt road on a safari in South Africa. But instead of running away from the 'Kings of the Jungle' the brave carnivores were not intimidated and stood their ground. The pair of black and white weasel-like mammals hissed and snarled at the lions so much the trio were scared off and ran away.

Honey Badger Don't Care!!! I wish some football would call themselves the Honey Badgers. Pound for pound the nastiest animals out there.

By the way, the phrase "Honey Badger Don't Care!!!" is not always true.

I want to get myself an emotional support honey badger.
I’ll name him, “Carl the Cuddle Demon.”

I didn’t realize the Honey Badger is the only about the size of a house cat. I thought it was larger.

Honey badger don’t give a schit!

Even lions don’t like to be bitten if not necessary....

Up to 35 pounds. If a squirrel got that big, it’d be a nightmare, when angered.

I saw female lions & I think a teenage male lion, at the end I did see a male lion but I think he just came

Honey Badgers are ferocious but I doubt it can handle a male lion

Scared?

Probably not. Some meals just aren’t worth the effort...

The ones around here are the size of a Large house cat.

They all have a nasty disposition. Don’t mess with them. They love to eat snakes, we have plenty of snakes here. Rattle snake poison has no affect on them. The top of their body is covered with very tough thick hide. They won’t bother you unless you mess with them.

My brother raised one from shortly after it was born. Friends ran over a family of badgers with a swather, killing the momma. They gave the young badger to my brother, she thought she belonged to my brother. She would dance and run around his feet and she loved my mother.

I have video’s of BB, “Bentley’s Badger”. My brother’s nickname is Bentley.

She disappeared one day, never to be seen again.

Honey Badger was the correct answer on Jeopardy recently.

Those lions were inexperienced cubs. The ferocity of the honey badgers undoubtedly confused them and they were afraid to proceed. Good on the honey badgers. Maybe those were parents of a nearby litter and that may have stoked their fierce attack on the lions.

It's like a wolverine backing off a giant bear, the aggressive nature of the smaller animal confuses the much bigger one. If push became shove, the bear or lion would ultimately kill the wolverine or honey badger, respectively, but in most cases, the bigger animal just won't risk injury and will move on to easier meals.

In all-out battle, a 35-pound honey badger isn't going to survive against a 500-pound lion nor will a 60-pound wolverine survive against a 800-pound bear. Sheer ferocity and bravery will only get you so far when you are hugely over-matched.
