We've talked about how fearless and
badass honey badgers can be these docile looking creatures don't give a single
but that's just a one-to-one battle what
i want to know is what would happen if a honey badger had to fight against ten
thousand venomous snakes
let's imagine an interesting scenario where we put a fearless honey badger on
an island full of venomous snakes ten thousand to be exact and before you say
that i'm abusing the badger just don't it ain't real okay just a fun imaginary
experiment to satisfy my curiosity now back to the major topic will the
honey badger survive the fight against ten thousand snakes
first things first let's get to know each other
i'm sure we all know one or two things about the honey badger we've seen them
eating venomous snakes waking up from a cobra bite without batting an eye
chasing jackals stealing food from other animals i mean these weasel-like
creatures don't even know what pain feels like
because while every other animal is squealing in pain after being bitten by
a cobra honey badgers are sleeping then waking up like nothing ever
happened that has got to be the most hardcore thing i have ever seen
superman got nothing on these creatures to be honest
and also mother nature really favors honey badgers because she gives them
everything they need to become the coolest kids on the block let me tell
you why
honey badgers are considered the world's most fearless creatures for so many
reasons first things first they have very thick
rubbery skin which is so tough that it's been shown
to be nearly impossible to pierce through with traditionally made arrows
and spears that's right the arrow would probably
bounce right back once it touched their skin
hawkeyes really needs to resharpen his arrows even more
further their skin can take a full blow from a sharp knife without necessarily
cutting the skin all the way through more practically the skin helps protect
honey badgers from the teeth and claws of predators
along with being thick and very tough their skin is also fairly loose which
allows them to move and maneuver in order to escape the predator's grip they
can squirm about in their skin and get their long claws and mouth with sharp
teeth in such a position as to strike back
this makes it particularly unsafe for an animal to hold a honey badger in its jaw
unless it kills the badger immediately which is even more difficult
these creatures also have incredibly powerful bites
this is quite helpful due to the fact that they will eat every part of the
prey including the bones their jaws are so strong that they can
eat a turtle and the hard shell without any problem dude i would have chipped my
teeth if i dared to bite a turtle shell but these animals they don't care they
do what they want when they want if their stubbornness is ranked second
perhaps no other animal is dared to claim first
even their fur shows their stubbornness usually animals will have light colored
fur underneath and dark fur on top to make it easier to camouflage
but for honey badgers it's the complete opposite they look like genuine playboys
with white fur on top and dark fur underneath it really reminds me of this
hairstyle though [Music]
but it's time to send our little fella to an island full of snakes is there
such a place in the world well
lucky for us there is this special island in brazil also known as snake
island or the world's deadliest place because it has the highest concentration
of venomous snakes and these are not just any normal snakes
this place is the only known home of the golden lancehead one of the most
venomous vipers in the world the snake's venom is said to be three to
five times stronger than that of any mainland snake
also it's capable of melting human flesh and a human bitten by this species can
be dead within an hour the snake's venom can cause kidney
failure necrosis of muscular tissue brain hemorrhaging and intestinal
bleeding that's crazy and by the way if you suffer from the fear of snakes then
this might be the last place you should be on earth because it is estimated that
there are at least one to five snakes in every square meter meaning that
everywhere you step foot is snakes and snakes
so will the honey badger survive on this island in case you don't know honey
badgers are naturally not very affected by many types of stings and venoms as
fearless predators honey badgers won't hesitate to take down scorpions or
venomous snakes for dinner however those meals fight back and the honey badger
may receive a mean bite or sting from its prey such as the highly venomous
cape cobra whose venom can temporarily knock out a honey badger but just for a
couple of hours these creatures are literally immune to
venom that's incredible don't you think and because snakes are badger's favorite
food i don't think the animal would have any problem living on the island the
honey badger won't have to look for food anymore because food is everywhere
nice it's time for the badger to thrive and even if the food fights back chances
are the honey badger will still be alive but on this island full of snakes he
would probably need 1 000 honey badgers or more to eat all the deadly twisters
but if you look into the dark side there are just so many snakes on this island
so even if the honey badger manages to dodge two or three bites there's still a
thousand more and i don't think its body can withstand 10 000 snake bites that
would be a bucket load of venom though the honey badger could still be easily
defeated because it is totally outnumbered
but for me if the badger survives the first few bites its immune system will
automatically adjust simply put it will adapt after taking so
many bites and then proceeds to clear the entire island basically snake bite
is booze for them so yeah my money's on the honey badger the only thing that can
kill the batcher is probably obesity
thank god honey badgers aren't the size of a grizzly bear or we'd be in big
trouble if you liked this video be sure to give
