a fight between a honey badger and python who will win
we're gonna look at a battle between the ferocious and voracious honey batcher
and africa's largest snake the ill-tempered python
first we'll take a look at some of the unique traits of each of these predators
the honey badger also known as the retal is a mammal widely distributed in
africa southwest asia and the indian subcontinent the honey budget has a fairly long body but is
distinctively thick set and broad across the back its skin is remarkably loose and allows
the animal to turn and twist freely within it to bite and cause any predator who has grabbed them
honey badges are the largest terrestrial mustelids in africa
the weight of adult honey badges from different areas has been reported anywhere between 14 to
26 pounds with a median of roughly 20 pounds and they can grow up to 30 inches in length
in regards to their diet the honey badger has the least specialized diet of the weasel family
it eats the entire thing bones and all for defense it accesses a large part of its food
by digging it out of burrows and can even attack and kill black mambas and lion cubs
headers
competitors it devours all parts of its prey
in a state of dominance honey badgers are known for their strength ferocity and toughness
oh
they can savagely and fearlessly attack nearly any other species when unable to escape
even repelling much larger predators such as lions and hyenas
another tick in the defense column is their resistance to venom
pythons the pythons are a family of non-venomous snakes found in africa asia and australia
amongst its members are some of the largest snakes in the world
the python has a long small head the body can grow up to 23 feet in fact
the python is a member of the longest snake sub family in the world
and it can weigh up to 132 pounds
pythons use their sharp backward curving teeth
four rows in the upper jaw two on the lower to grass prey which is then killed by constriction
after an animal has been grasped to restrain it the python quickly wraps a number of coils around
it death occurs primarily by cardiac arrest
in a state of dominance usually they eat animals about the size of a house cat
but larger food items are known they have been known to take down an adult deer
the prey has almost no chance at escape the pharaphin quickly wraps their muscular
bodies around the prey and squeezes tighter and tighter till the prey stops its heart
all prey is swallowed whole
the python can hide and hunt in trees land and
underwater and maintain speeds of about one mile per hour
who will win this battle both of them are dangerous and aren't afraid of any fight
and the python hides and hunts prey the honey badger just lands there on their prey
and attempts to consume it the honey badger the savannah berserker is unafraid of its enemies
it will go straight to bite the python and the python has its own skill like wrapping the prey
with its muscular body and inserting its teeth into the praised flesh wounding and paralyzing
but the badger with a fighter's mentality keeps defending their life relentlessly and
it can turn and twist freely to bite and claw to the predator who has grabbed them
here is the python as soon as the honey badgers can get out of that muscular body
it won't let its name blind you from the fact that it sits on top of the savannah's food chain
it is a professional killer with a lust for danger and bloody fights
this beast can kill the python it bites the python
back and manages to bring its powerful legs and sharp claws to bear on the python's head
with its teeth and shreds the partner's body with its claws it is too late for the python to escape
finally our winner is the honeybadger with the claws and teeth that's not our path and strength
