Is the honey badger the hardest creature in the world?

Question

On one occasion an observer saw seven lions abandon the wildebeest kill that they were eating, when three honey badgers approached. The badgers then took their share of the carcase.

Answer 1

Mustelids the world over are tough little buggers.The stoat can bring down a hare, that`s the equivalent of a mountain lion bringing down a full grown African Bull elephant.Badgers,weasels,wolverines and so onare indeed fearless beasties.The very reason so many European Badgers (Meles meles) die on Britain`s roads is that the attempt to stare down, then attack oncoming vehicles.Unfortunately Evolution is slow and old Brock hasn`t worked out he can`t take on a car & survive yet.

However, according to "Monty Python`s Flying Circus", the hardest animal in the world is a hedgehog called "Spiny Norman."

Answer 2

It is a very tough creature with no natural predetors to the best of my knowledge. I came across it first when as a kid I saw The Gods Must Be Crazy 2. It was described in that as being extremely determined and agressive towards anything that it felt was attacking it (in the movie it was a boot).

Now the Honey Badger when attacked by larger animals has a habit of basically castrating the larger creature (if male) and probably doing some massive damage to the legs of the females (it has a bite strength that is quite amazing)

It is also known to attack crocodiles to eat them. Its skin makes it hard to hold onto - probably another reason larger creatures leave it alone. It is probably called the honey beaver as it loves honey and will risk getting stung many times to get to honey.

All in all, it is one of the toughest creatures on land. The lions probably had a bit of commonsense to leave when they did.

Answer 3

Pound for pound the most ferocious and vicious animal in the world is considered to be the Wolverine. From the same family as the Badger, wolverines have been known to kick a Grizzly bear's butt. Grizzlies avoid confrontations with wolverines, and people are warned not to approach them for any reason. They are rarely seen, and remain primarily nocturnal predators. They have no good moods, and don't enjoy company except to breed. They are found primarily in the Rockies of western Canada and the Pacific northwest region of the United States.

Answer 4

this is the comparable concern i became questioning. until now any athlete/celeb/ or famous man or woman supplies themselves supplies a identify, they could complete something. i'm no longer asserting that Danica will thoroughly suck this season, yet until now you initiate calling your self a honey badger, you could a minimum of teach to the followers that your worth of the identify and the season hasn't even started. this is like me calling myself the queen of hip hop, yet i've got no longer yet released a platinum checklist or offered out any shows. Her final win became in 2008 in Japan. i'm hoping she gets extra appropriate this 12 months nevertheless.
