    Honey Badger: Kill, Eat, Repeat. Only sleep after getting high from Eating Venom. Then Kill, Eat, then Get High enough from Killing/Eating to sleep again. Then Kill and Eat some more. 😂🎉

    What I think is hilarious is that ACTUAL fitness is nothing close to what the tough-guy "alpha males" think it is. Fitness and true survival instincts are NOT manly, and they're certainly not impressive. Fitness is just doing what you have to do to keep on living, even when it's not pretty or "macho" looking 😅

    About a week ago i was in eastern finland and i saw a singular fox scare off an adult wolverine who wanted to take some of the fox’s food.

    No way. The wolverine's too big & too strong AND doesn't get affected by the honey badger's biggest weapon – intimidation by ferocity & dedication to a fight. The honey badger is also very intelligent & backs off in situations that look like ending in serious injury or worse.

    Difference between the 2:
    Honey badger will bluff his way out of altercations with larger predators by taking quick, unexpected strikes while all the time strategically retreating.
    Wolverine would fuckin MAUL at least 2 hyenas before even THINKING of retreating.

    Im personally inclined to believe the wolverine would fuck the honey badger up at least 7 times out of 10. However all due respect to the honey badger. Theyre bad mother fuckers.

    How does the honey badger's formidable intelligence compare to a wolverine's? I've read about honey badgers solving adverse situations in ways that boggle the (human) mind. Maybe wolverines can do this too, but I've never heard that they're especially bright. And as we've seen (Jack and the Beanstalk, Odysseus and Polyphemus, David and Goliath) brains tends to win out against brawn most of the time. For this reason, I'm going to put my money on the honey badger.

    Think it would come down to size at the moment. Both reactive more than active, they may just convince each other it isn't worth it right away.. Enjoyed both videos. Now I'll have to Sub.
