Considered the most aggressive, ferocious and tenacious animal on the African grasslands,
the honey badger (honey badger) also has many times had big trouble with lions.
Let's take a closer look at those tense encounters below!
The honey badger has a long body, four short legs, a small head and sharp teeth, but is
famous for its bravery and recklessness.
On the vast savannah, the honey badger is a species that survives not only on its intelligent
hunting ability but also very good resistance to venom.
Badger's main food is snakes, scorpions, mice...
Especially it loves to eat honey, so badgers also have the ability to climb quickly.
It adapts to most habitats, has a wide distribution around the world.
The badger's senses, especially the sense of smell, are also excellent, so it can feed
both during the day and at night.
However, it can't exist peacefully in the middle of the vast steppe.
Because the lion is the lord of the forest, the coldest and most fearsome king in the
grasslands.
The lion's spectacular hunting skills and herd behavior make them overwhelm all, including
aggressive species like honey badger.
Honey badgers when confronted with lions are often aggressive.
But how can a small person defeat the giant right in front of him.
Lions also have never been interested or wanted to choose badger as prey because the badger's
skin is very thick, even eating badger is not worth the tiring chase.
Only when encountering these belligerent creatures.
The lion still wants to scare a little bit for more entertainment.
On such occasions we also know how to retreat quickly so as not to fall into the mouth of
a brutal predator.
Luck doesn't always happen in lion encounters.
A honey badger was bitten to death by a lion at night.
In fact, the badger's resistance is extremely strong.
Surely the lion had to hold onto the prey for a while to be able to kill the badger.
Lions are trying to tear off the outer skin of the honey badger, a rather strenuous meal
compared to eating other species.
It grabbed the head while the honey badger was still struggling to escape.
But a few seconds later the honey badger was dead.
It's not that badger always fails to find food, it's just unlucky if it encounters the
king of the grasslands.
And in another situation when attacking the African rock python, it did something very
spectacular.
When the python was tightly wrapped around its body, the badger struggled to escape.
While the badger was suffering, the jackal appeared, it came to take the bait.
The jackal wanted to take this delicious meat, too.
The python also responds aggressively but it is being dominated by badgers.
Badger used sharp teeth to bite the python's tail, dragging it away.
At this time, another jackal came running to coordinate to grab the prey.
After a few minutes of fierce resistance, the honey badger carried the carcass into
a nearby bush and enjoyed it alone.
In the encounters with lions, there are many times when honey badgers have to have a gray
face because they can't play.
As the most notorious, brutal and fierce predator here, the lion will not easily let go of someone
who dares to tease him.
The honey badger, even quick-witted and intelligent, cannot be abusive.
So when the badger started to approach, opening his mouth as if to challenge a counterattack
from the lion, the male lion did not hesitate to show his authority.
The king of the grasslands never backed down from the honey badger.
And learning from the unfortunate times of being attacked by a lion, the honey badger,
after playing with the lion for a few rounds, quickly ran away.
Because only a few seconds more, it will most likely die under the claws, also the powerful
pounce of this big cat.
Hopefully, the fascinating information about honey badgers and lions has provided you with
a diverse perspective on the animal world.
