Eyewitnesses say the badger “wouldn’t mind it’s own business and repeatedly picked a fight with the oryx who had enough and flung the badger sky-high into the air.”

quote:

This Badger would just simply charge at the Oryx, who would basically headbutt the Badger into the ground. He simply took a step back, hooked the Badger between its horns, and tossed him high into the air. The first time it happened I thought the Badger was dead, but it just shook itself off and charged again continuously. Eventually, the Oryx grew tired and just ran off.”

This. Honey badgers are rarely seen outside of their den in the day time. You have to be very lucky to see one.

I was really hoping this would be about Tyrann Mathieu.

From the article in OP:

quote:

The Next Day
“The second day we were at the same waterhole and the same Badger came running along. Only this time picking a fight with a Black-backed Jackal. I could not believe it!”




quote:

Most people will not believe what happened next, as I do not have photographic evidence. The Badger chased the Jackal. In the distance, where I could not reach with my camera, a few other Jackals joined the fray. Eventually, the Badger was fighting 7 Jackals! In the distance through the dust, you could just make out the animals lunging in and out at the Badger. At one stage he grabbed a Jackal by the snout and simply swung him out the way. It was crazy! This went on for a few minutes, then two Hyenas joined in. Sadly, I could not capture any of this…”

I'm pretty confident I have better odds against some of Africa's deadliest than a honey badger.

This wasn't a fair fight. Judging by the pic on the right the honey badger has teleportation powers.

It's still amazing that the nickname originated from this board.

At that point it was a matter of community service/policing. They were all tired of that bullshite.
