Does The Honey Badger Live Up To It's Hype?

#1 Bouncing Arrows!

There have been reports of arrows and spears bouncing off of the skin of Honey Badgers due to their incredibly rubbery skin. Because it's so thick and rubbery, they are less vulnerable to predators, including snakes who sometimes cannot get their fangs through the skin.

#2 That Mouth!

They can chomp down with enough force to break the shell of a tortoise.

#3 Kings of the one nighters!

Honey Badgers spend the majority of their lives alone, minding their own business and fucking shit up. The only time they seek out any sort of companionship is for sex. Basically they are the kings of the one night stand.

#4 'Tis merely a flesh wound.

While it is not scientifically proven, Honey Badgers are likely resistant to venom from snakes and bees allowing them to sleep it off after they have been bitten or stung. Basically venom just makes them tired.

#5 Tools!

Not only are Honey Badgers fearless predators, they are also insanely intelligent. They have been know to use tools to get themselves out of sticky situations and they will do whatever it takes to escape any sort of enclosure that they are trapped in.

#6 Any food is good food.

Honey Badgers do not discriminate when it comes to food, as they are omnivores. This means that they eat both plants and animals, often hunting mammals, birds, and reptiles. Snakes actually make up about 25% of their diets.

#7 So mean they make a lion think better.

It's true that Honey Badgers have the Guinness Book of World Records title of "World's Most Fearless Creature," and the fact that they are just downright mean makes their fearlessness even more intimidating. They pick fights all the time to steal food and shelter, and not just against small animals. They are notorious for challenging hyenas, lions, leopards, and even pythons, not giving a shit while doing it.

#8 They tear it up!

Honey Badgers have long claws that help them when it comes to digging. But, they have the unique ability to dig holes in just minutes, big enough for them to hide in. Hell, they have even been observed digging holes directly into the sides of tree trunks with ease.

#9 That smell!

As if Honey Badgers weren't already equipped enough, they also have the ability to spray like a skunk, making them even more untouchable than you'd think.

#10 The Verdict

Fuck yes Honey Badgers are as badass as everyone thinks. They have no problems with fucking up your day and seem to be the originators of the phrase, "come at me bro." Whatever you do, don't get in the way of a Honey Badger.
