"She thinks it's cute but she hasn't twigged that honey badgers are amongst the nastiest, most vicious b*****ds on the planet."

Talking about honey badgers, one said: "They’re also the most determined and most stoic, also incredibly pugnacious and don’t take cr*p from anyone, they’re also very intelligent."
