Honey Badger Wikipedia Quote 1

The Wikipedia entry for Honey Badgers is f**king wicked-pedia. I'm going to be running a series of posts with quotes from this page of the Wikipedia. Here's the first:

"Adult honey badgers rarely serve as prey for lions and leopards; their ferocity and thick, loose skin makes it hard to grip or suffocate them and predation difficult. Old, weak honey badgers are more likely to fall prey to leopards, lions, and pythons, but even old honey badgers will defend themselves as vigorously as possible.

In one case, shown on an episode of Animal Planet, an old female honey badger that was nearly toothless and had one blind eye was attacked by a leopard. It took the leopard about one hour to kill the honey badger."

How cool is that!? A toothless, half-blind OAP Honey Badger fought a F**KING LEOPARD for an hour!!! Bet that leopard steered clear of Honey Badgers after that encounter!
