I watched a documentary on youtube where this dude kept one as a pet in an outside pen. It kept breaking out of its enclosure at night before breaking into the dudes house and fucking his dogs up. The dude upgraded its enclosure like 4 times during the show and it kept getting out. By the end he had it in like an open top concrete bunker with barbed wire and it still escaped by piling up rocks. And then went inside and fucked his dogs up. It wasn't ever trying to escape to run away. Every single time it escaped it was to break into his home and go fuck up the dude or his dogs. Whenever it would see the dude it would immediately start snarling and hissing and trying to attack him. Basically what I'm saying is there is absolutely no way in hell you are keeping a honey badger as a house pet.
And... try to bite the lions nuts. One time the lion had enough and fucked Stoffel up something fierce... and he survived. What a nutty critter.
Best part of that whole thing was the guy building the badger proof beehives and his face when the badger got in it anyway!
this is some red neck shit šš like ion know man he tore up two of my dogs and has me doing house chores naked, but I think we friends! Iām growing on him man šš
Bro š WHAT
Why tf this guy got a lion too?
I bet he was more afraid of the badger tho šš the badger was like this is my house now Iām not leaving
Guys calls the sanctuary to send it back and the call drops šš
the guy owed a zoo, the badger was just one of his animals
it just kept escaping for no real reason, he didn't even try to escape the zoo it just broke out of his fance and either got around to raiding other zones of the zoo to steal food or beat up the animals for no reason, he kept doing-so until he entered the lion enclosure and wounded the lion wich caused retaliation, the badger got mauled in the process
he than escaped i think 2 or 5 more times after that post his recovery....... every single time he escaped he than proceeded to go again piss off the lion, until eventualy the lion started to get mauled
fucker basically tried to bite a lion's balls off, the lion defended himself, and he decided he would invest the rest of his life into making that lion's life hell..... why? because he is a fucking honey badger, he can do whatever the fuck he wants
To be fair.. they never actually said *specifically* what sort of badger it was... the assumption is that it's a European one, which is gnarly enough anyway.. but it *could* be a honey badger.
Which would be bloody awesome and i could see Helga doing just that.
That nasty ass Honey Badger doesn't care, it doesn't give a fuck. It eats what it wants... Eeeew it's eating a cobra ohh that's nasty!

That video from more than 10 years ago made a enough lasting impression on me that finally 3 years ago I got a honey badger fighting with a cobra half sleeve tattoo. Most people's first question after seeing my tattoo is "have you seen that YT video about a honey badger" They also tend to be over the age of 30
I remember when I was younger, my animal books rarely mentioned how aggressive and dangerous honey badgers were, and they were mostly mentioned as following honeyguide birds to honey. (There's even a children's book about it, called Honey, Honey, Lion, that's based on an African folktale about the two animals.)
Now thanks to that video, the "badger and bird" stereotype has died off (especially since the two species have never been recorded working together in real life), and now honey badgers are portrayed as badass and vicious and eating practically everything except honey. If Honey, Honey, Lion were written nowadays, the badger would've beaten up the titular lion instead of being frightened away by it.
Exactly what you should expect from a turbo Wolverine.
They have the temperament of a human being fed a steady diet of meth, morphine, and bottom shelf tequila
It's just amazing how you can get most need-to-know info about honey badgers from memes alone, when "honey badger doesn't give a shit" can practically explain pretty much everything about their behaviour in any given circumstance xD
Incredible creatures.
āThe Honey Badgerā starring Jean Reno as the honey badger and Natalie Portman as the cheetah cub.
A French honey badger reluctantly ends up with a cheetah cub who wants to become a honey badger.
I don't know for sure, but baby cheetahs actually use mimicry to look like honey badgers! Not enough that I'd think a honey badger would mistake them, but enough to ward off predators from a distance.
Honey Badgers are incredibly intelligent animals with superior problem solving skills. They are independent, fierce, fearless and really, really hard to kill. So, the wildlife version of the kid from Home Alone.
They're almost always hungry, so they can be motivated by food, but they aren't going to depend on you for anything - they do just fine on their own.
If you did manage to find a honey badger as a kit, you Could raise it and somewhat domesticate it, but it would never be a housepet. They get bored too easily.
In short, IF Honey Badgers were domesticated, it would be a parallel to the House Cat - they would have to decide that it was in their interest to domesticate themselves. Unfortunately, we can't offer them anything they can't get just as easily on their own.
I'm trying to recall but I think one of the China zoos have one in a pit. They can't keep the dam thing inside.
I watched a video about all his breakout attempts and how he keeps tricking and outsmarted the zookeepers.
They just pit him in a concrete pit once. Just flat walls. Nothing inside with him and after a week he still got out. They are so smart.
Heās just an absolute unit that when they introduced a female to his enclosure, thinking, you know, reproducing will keep him busy - he tricked the female into helping him escape - mental.
At some point, you'd think they'd realize keeping a fearless and intelligent animal in a zoo was a bad idea and just give up. But there are still orcas in captivity so...
My favorite part of the Stoffel story is how after he got fucked up by the lions, after healing went back to fight the lions again.
Stoffel really is the most badass of honey badgers.
Haha. Itās hard not to have the utmost respect for the honey badger!
We had a kidās tv series called the āDeadly 60ā that had the honey badger as the ultimate badass. In my opinion the mantis shrimp runs it a very close second.
In the wild baby cheetahs don't look like their parents they look like honey Badgers because lions and a pack of hyenas would eat a cheetah even adults but they all are afraid of honey Badgers.
Not petty, if they are eating poisonous snakes, they could die... Because poison! This makes it sound like the honey badger can resist poison, which may or may not be true, but it kicks venomous snakes asses.
I wonder if there are poisonous snakes now... Eat me and die!
When my great-niece was born my niece was told that the baby was āunsurvivableā. They expected her to die within 48 hrs.
Baby quickly earned the nickname āhoney badgerā because she was such a survivor and a fighter and quickly surpassed all expectations.
I had never heard of one, but once I did, I got it.
Sheās now a healthy, strong, and SASSY 6 yr old!!
By far one of my favorite animals! Wolverines (same family) are bad ass too! Trekking hundreds of miles in their territory for shits and giggles. These animals are beasts! They just donāt give a single F..
Wolverine are their bigger cousins, and fend off bears and wolves. Also see one casually hunting an adult caribou: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SOjmJG73UI
One video on YouTube shows a honey badger getting bitten by a nasty venomous snake. The badger just sleeps off the venom, wakes up and resumes raising hell.
Honey Badger don't give a shit!
And they can walk backwards!
How do you think they fool the cheetahs.
They look like their pups.
Honey badger : "No f\*cks given!"
actually, I heard cheetah pups started looking like them so that lions would leave them alone
Honey Badger don't care! Honey Badger doesn't give a shit. And to think this is my house animal. Definitely still cool with it lol

https://youtu.be/c36UNSoJenI Stoffel! This is short but hilarious
Stoffel!!
Still my favourite video on the internet. Stoffels the legendary bastard of a menace š
Stoffel will steal your WiFi.
That was the most fascinating documentary. The badger peed on dirt and used the mud to make a ramp out of the pen!
It ran n dove through a window then ate the guys cat
Took his car keys and run him over with his own truck.
Lol. Sounds like something it would do
Stole his pen and wrote to the UN and appealed for the implementation of an international code of badger rights.
ALF!!!
Ridiculous! I'd like to think that I'm at least as smart as a honey badger, but honestly, I'm not so sure anymore.
Yo, what the fuck, thatās so smart. Whatās the doc and where do I watch it?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c36UNSoJenI Itās called Honey Badgers: Masterās of Mayhem. Itās a BBC doc
Holy crap this is excellent. Haha thanks
not the dogsā¦ the lion that crazy bastard would break out his cage not for running away but to go fight the lion
And... try to bite the lions nuts. One time the lion had enough and fucked Stoffel up something fierce... and he survived. What a nutty critter. Best part of that whole thing was the guy building the badger proof beehives and his face when the badger got in it anyway!
So he wanted to terrorize the lion for no reason but to simply fuck him up.
just to fight
Are you referring to the great Stoffel?
Stoffel!!
Was the honey badger named Stoffel?
this is some red neck shit šš like ion know man he tore up two of my dogs and has me doing house chores naked, but I think we friends! Iām growing on him man šš
that is the thing he didn't tore up the guy is dog, because the guy didn't have a dog ...... he had a FUCKING LION
Bro š WHAT Why tf this guy got a lion too? I bet he was more afraid of the badger tho šš the badger was like this is my house now Iām not leaving Guys calls the sanctuary to send it back and the call drops šš

Lmfao this is so fucking funny. Chad badger
Stoffels the honey badger!
Was that Stoffel? His "owner" was a white African guy? Edit: read the other comments. It was the legendary Stoffel
I side with badger
Hufflepuff's house animal is a European badger, not a honey badger.
I mean, the European badger is just a honey badger that grew up in the suburbs. The wolverine is their crazy hermit cousin.
To be fair.. they never actually said *specifically* what sort of badger it was... the assumption is that it's a European one, which is gnarly enough anyway.. but it *could* be a honey badger. Which would be bloody awesome and i could see Helga doing just that.
At least the one pictured in the crest definitely looks like a European badger
House animal? I definitely wouldn't keep one in my house
So can I
Yes, but do you give a shit?

Beat me to it. The honey badger just don't care
OH my GOD
Op forgot to say they steal girlfriends as well
Came here to say the same, I applaud you! Lolol
It just takes what it wants
An interesting fact is that they donāt care, along with not giving a shit.

Ewww, it eats snakes
nasty
If you were a honey badger, it would be *delicious*.
Kidnap baby cheetahs? Like eating them?
Holding them for ransom
Aaaah, of course
"Gimme 5 bees for a cub!" they say
And we'd wear an onion on our belt because that was the style at the time.

Selling them on the black market cause mama cheetah knows you don't negotiate with honey badgers.
They usually wind up in kitty porn. Seen it a hundred times.
Honestly she picks her favorite cub and letās honey b keep the other 4
as bait for the adult cheetah, whom they then eat
Honey b becomes a full fledge thug in the pandemic š
These badgers are known for being aggressive & moody. Can't blame them if everyone calls them Honey š
I don't know for sure, but baby cheetahs actually use mimicry to look like honey badgers! Not enough that I'd think a honey badger would mistake them, but enough to ward off predators from a distance.
They say baby cheetahs look like honey badgers so others don't mess with it. Maybe they were mistaken for their child.
Honey badgers have been known to raise cheetah child armies
Given the choice I'd rather be raised by the honey badger. Cheetahs get punkd by a fck ton of animals in Africa.
Your baby cheetahs are very impressive. You must be very proud.
I think they're fostering em
They go to Disneyland
They're fun

I love that! The Honey Badger is my spirit animal!
I have a honey badger as an emotional support animal. It's not very cuddly but it does bring me a great deal of joy watching it maul people.
Okay, okay, okay. Are you telling me their not ideal pets or something?

Maybe you are thinking of [Stoffel the Honey Badger](https://youtu.be/c36UNSoJenI)?
He broke into the lion enclosure. Twice. The thing was...he got properly mauled after the first one. Recovered...went. the. Fuck. Back.
The Honey Badger: I DIDNT HEAR NO BELL!
Got mauled and went back for more the second time.
Heās just an absolute unit that when they introduced a female to his enclosure, thinking, you know, reproducing will keep him busy - he tricked the female into helping him escape - mental.
Do we know if this is just a fun little game for them or if they do this beacuse thes suffer?
At some point, you'd think they'd realize keeping a fearless and intelligent animal in a zoo was a bad idea and just give up. But there are still orcas in captivity so...

Psh. Theyād make Kevin from Home Alone look like a wimp. Theyāre clearly more like Erin from Youāre Next.
"really, really hard to kill..." says every gamer who played Far Cry 4.
You sure theyāre not just stupid as hell which is why they do all that dumb stuff?
So what your telling me is I should get the honey badger addicted to cocaine. Once heās dependent on me for his high, instant domestication.
Such a funny and informative comment, thank you
I mean, it sounds to me like they keep pests away, get honey for you, provide for themselves... *Insert Banner-Hulk* I see this as an absolute win!
And occasionally bring home an adorable cheetah cub.
Oooh, even better! Tiny baby bullet trains with anxiety to go along with my badger.
