The snakes and brutally killed and eaten by this seemingly cute animal. Honey badgers are about the same size as your average house cats. Bigger animals usually know not to mess with the little stick of dynamite, because they know how tough the little animal is, that it never backs down from a fight. This tactic usually works and most animals will leave the honey badger alone. Only the “King of the Beasts” cannot tolerate the impudence of this animal in its Kingdom. The lion will kill this little animal brutally without any pity, and then walk off indifferently to patrol its kingdom.

The honey badger’s secret weapon when it’s under attack is that it secretes a very pungent disgusting smell! The combination of this horrible smell together with this animal’s natural willingness and ability to fight are the reason why most animals in the bush would prefer to avoid this animal.
