Lions are more likely to be injured in a wildebeest or water buffalo encounter. The badgers don't have much meat and not worth their time. But they will dispatch them rather quickly if they are starving.
Seriously, that honey badger that nearly got mauled to death by lions and as soon as he got better he went back to settle the score is honestly the most badass thing I’ve ever heard an animal do
You always pick such a fantastic note to end on: "The strength and durability of a Wolverine, the intelligence and lack of morality of an otter, and the sheer coke-fueled willpower of a stoat" is just such an epic turn of phrase. But then, the Honey Badger deserves it.
Some researchers from Alaska had trackers on wolverines and one apparently wanted to cross a mountain range so bad that it literally climbed 15k feet and made it to the other side by the next morning. This all happened during winter, clearly only a wolverine is crazy enough to try that.
Wolverines shock researchers constantly......and yet there exists little research on them. They don't like to be found. They also seem to inherently understand certain traps. They are the serial killer that is hyper paranoid. Only the ravens truly understand.
I just love how some animals on this planet, they just kind of exist minding their own business. And then there's the ones that are just... unbridled earth shattering rage incarnate.
Honey Badgers can be huge menaces for farms in South Africa. A high-school college of mine had a honey badger attack his uncle's truck on their farm. Ripped up the front tire. He tried kicking it and hitting it with a pipe and it did nothing. They resorted to shooting it with a small caliber pistol. It stopped it, but didn't kill it. The bugger just walked away like nothing happened.
This dude has some zingers he said one about reptile dysfunction..I think when otters kills alligators, the gators, being cold blooded quickly become exhausted entering a state of "reptile dysfunction"
@@umbrellaman8987 Nah, I just respect the crackhead energy of the Honey Badger too much to think that I have much in common with it, as much as I'd like to
Went to a rehab sanctuary in South Africa. And out of every animal the keepers fed, the Honey Badger was the one animal they threw the meat in and just 🏃💨
That's cos dead meat feels no pain and isn't intimidated like live meat is lol. Even cats are bastards just for fun sometimes, a honey badger is like that all the time!
Ah, yes, the honey badger. One of the only animals alive who's personality and overall demeanor can best be described as a permanent case of Jack Nicholson's _"Here's Johnny!"_ moment from The Shining.
I used to hunt with ferrets when I was a kid, they're the same but smaller. I've seen ferrets attack dogs that are like 20 times their size. All the mustelidae are the same
7:18 I’m glad you mentioned the wolverines, one of my favourite homeland 🇨🇦 animals. They’ve been known to kill like 6-7 deer one right after another, without stopping in between to eat any of them. Obviously this is a possible strategy because of the freezing temperatures here. They bury the deer and eat them frozen. It’s literally the Canadian hinterland’s version of shopping at Costco, lol.
I know how you feel neighbor 🇺🇲. They're definitely cool, but even the toughest of people will turn around peeing themselves the moment they come face to face with one in the wild.
This is definitely your best-written video so far. Your transitions between topics and animals were seamless, your information was perfectly elucidated, and you still kept it funny. Great job!

@Sleepycreepy na, i watch him because i learn cool random shit to do with animals. Though coming out of a Philosophy degree, i find his words to be stylistically refreshing also and worthy of the light hearted comment.. what i will add in retort to your argument is that, maybe the person making the original comment here has only seen a few videos and is commenting as a new-comer, versus us as (im assuming) channel veteran's, who may see it as condescending, but only if from a lack of awareness. Tbh, you're just making an argument for the arguments sake.
@Sleepycreepy lol if only i majored in just Philosophy and didn't pass with a Science degree, that joke might have actually landed. But yes. I dont agree with your perception. The comment doesn't come off as some teacher-like compliment, i believe the person who commented genuinely felt that way and wanted to let them know thus. Ergo, the comment is in no way disingenuous. (as if they're being paid to comment it) Observe how you are the only here who is judging someone else's rhetoric, ergo you're the one who's acting like the teacher 😉😆
Er ... honey badgers live in Africa and India; jaguars live in South America. Unless we have a new species of sea-going jaguars, I think you've got them mixed up with leopards.
@@DieFlabbergast Honestly the only thing preventing Jaguars from swimming to new continents is the sheer distance. Those cats are alarmingly adept in the water.
We have a phrase about that. "The thief yells back at the police." Pretty sure a lot of people would understand what that means if they've lived in or even close to a poor neighborhood.
Best quote about mustelids I've encountered. "I love mustelids in all forms. They were basically natures attempt to make the murderiest shape possible and the results was a tube with fangs."
A friend of mine was staying in the Kruger and had made a massive pot of stew for the next day. A couple of honey badgers used the kitchen drawers as steps up into the counter and ate the whole damn lot. Not a drop left. She got it on video and it’s one of my favourite stories.
Y'all realize that humans are the only creatures (besides blue whales weirdly, but they do some heinous shit to) who have morals or display purely altruistic behavior. So were actually the nicest animals with the highest morality because there is no competition.
@@shaeby8123 Wrong. I'm not sure if that's more arrogant or ignorant but anybody who has eyes can see what we are doing to the world and wild animals. There's nothing altruistic about how many species we have driven to extinction.
11:45 well, think about it. The rabbit you have already been hunting has already spent _some_ energy, but so have _you_ . The rabbit that was close to you was _idle_ and resting. It would be completely dumb to switch targets mid-mission.
Cowardice is bred into most predators, because even a minor injury can mean death. Honey badgers and wolverines are exceedingly hard to kill, let alone seriously injure. They also have the wickedest bite in the animal kingdom. That little stoat kills the hare with a bite through the skull or spine. Unadulterated aggression has kept the species around for a million years.
Actually not really. The most dangerous nonvenomous bite in the animal kingdom is probably the komodo dragon. You get bitten by one of those, and you die as surely as if it did have venom. After that, there's the hippopotamus. They kill tens of thousands of people every year. In terms of bite pressure, rats are the winner. Honey badgers and wolverines aren't even unique in being able to bite through skulls, that's the favored method of killing of jaguars.
Why has this channel only now shown itself on my feed? This is one of the best channels I have seen, and the best video on the Honey Badger! I am 61 years old and disabled. Thank you for giving me something that is not only entertaining, but educational as well! Hey TH-cam, you need to adjust your algorithm so everyone gets to see the Casual Geographic channel. He deserves a lot more that 3.55 million subscribers! Thank you young man for all of the hard work that you put into this video. I look forward to watching a lot more of your work!
Lions, hyenas and wild dogs: Hunt in pack to maximize their chances at catching a prey. Leopards and panthers: Hide and wait for the right moment to jump on their preys. Honey badgers: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD !!!
Shit man people do this too and we are leagues and bounds more intelligent than even the smartest animal. Get put in the hospital? Some might avoid further confrontation... But some, myself included, will come back for blood.
The guy holding the badger in the beginning of the video is Dr. Ross Bernstein..Had the pleasure of working with him a few years ago, and still good friends today.. he's a great vet.
Fun fact: the mandible of mustelids is held much more tightly in place compared to other mammals meaning it is much harder to separate the mandible from the rest of the skull. This helps them to hold onto things much bigger than them without their jaw dislocating/breaking. This family is built to kill and I love them
This reminds me: how often does it happen in the wild that a physically inferior animal chases off are larger and more dangerous animal? Honeybadgers probably provide the most examples, but I've heard of a human punching an attacking bear until it ran off and saw a cat chasing off large dogs and a rooster being a menace to dogs. You might say that these are just spectacular exceptions, but I think that there's more to it: 1) in a world where _just a scratch_ can end you, you shouldn't seek unnecessary fights. A strong human might still be able to knock out a fang of a bear and cats and roosters can blind their enemies. The smaller attacked animal has nothing to lose and everything to gain from going all in. The bigger predator on the other hand might be better advised to seek easier prey... 2) it's a recurring theme that especially animals misjudge the threat level of other animals. Many obviously look for size as an indicator, but they often don't distinguish between some animal standing or an animal that is this tall on all four legs. Quite a few animals can also inflate themselves (not necessarily literally).
Apparently you can fend off white sharks by punching them. It is unlikely that you get the chance to do that, but it's likely that it would leave if you harm it. Predators prefer easy prey. In fact, as a human, predators are much more likely to attack you if you run away from them because this tells them you're prey. Retaliation will probably make them think twice about attacking, and this seems to be what underdog fighters bank on. Those are probably the most dangerous ones because they are naturally much more violent and don't care if you are prey or not.
@@manunova5929 you'd be better off going for the eyes or gills of the shark for creating pain compliance. Punching the nose is the least effective option as it's sturdier and you can't punch fast under water. PS: by the latter I mean digging the finger in and prying
As a chicken owner, you just awakened several fond memories of watching various grown adults get chased across the garden screaming with a rooster on their heels. Ah childhood memories
@@Earl_TheSquirrel oh so you're one of those ignorant types. Wonder how all those people that go wilderness camping cope with the bears, moose and cougars roaming around! They don't act like fools and provoke the animals and if you do get attacked it's either because of 3 things. Protecting young Lack of resource (which is still rare) In mating season.
I had to go on a google panic search because of the reference to Stoffel in the past tense omg, you terrified me for a second. The relief I felt when I saw an update that he's okay as of April 24 this year....
I watched an Animal Planet documentary years ago about Stoffel and his keepers. It was hilarious! That little dude put everyone to shame. He didn't just outsmart ONE person, he outsmarted GROUPS, PLURAL, of people. They came up with all sorts of elaborate plans, knowing beforehand it wouldn't be a permanent solution. They'd say, "this should hold him for at least a few days", and MINUTES later he'd be like, "peace bitches!"
Naples Florida zoo supposedly has one. I’m not sure how, since no zoo is happy to take them for the sole reason that they are notoriously among the most difficult animals to keep locked in captivity.
simple. concrete 8 feet into the ground, fill with nothing but topsoil and a couple of SMALL bushes , don't leave ANYTHING in that can be moved around other than one or two balls/toys, nothing stationary within 8 feet of the walls, with walls 10 feet high, a door/gate that locks from the outside at the top, with no gaps to squeeze through. boom, no solution for him.
In far cry primal you can have a honey badger as a companion, and the best thing about it is, it’s the most aggressive animal, and it’s special skill is that it always comes back and attack again without being resummoned in the fight unlike other animal companions
Since your talking about Shakespeare the lion king that is based off of Shakespeare’s work. Got it wrong about honey badgers again this isn’t the first time they’ve ever gotten an animal wrong.
Having owned Ferrets, I can confirm that they seesaw wildly between "awwww, cuddly fluffy snake" to "OH GOD IT JUST BIT THROUGH MY THUMBNAIL AND WON'T LET GO!" They're great pets but the ladies are almost exclusively tubes of turbo anger and spite wrapped in fluff. They're also escape artists who will confound you as to how they got out of their enclosure for the 30th time.
And ferrets are the most tamed and friendliest in mustelidae family. Bloodthirsty should be in their name. Stoat Bloodthirsty, Wolverine Bloodthirsty, Fisher Bloodthirsty.
tubes of turbo anger and spite wrapped in fluff I know absolutely nothing about ferrets other than they look absolutely adorable but this is by far the most useful description I've ever heard. Thank you 😂 🤓👽😇
I just saw some at the pet shop today and they were incredibly adorable, but the, uh, contents of the litter box kinda turned me off. This comment makes me think it's maybe for the best.
@@bluevioletandlilac They are adorable, and quite clever. But yes, they can be messy and do require you to keep their enclosure clean. An outdoor run where you can hose it out regularly helps a lot.
Glad you acknowledged wolverines. Whenever I see people describing honey badgers, I think of wolverines, since I'm much more familiar with them. I once got spooked in a forest at night. I heard a nasty growl, low to the ground, right in front of me. It wasn't a wolf or any of the usual suspects. Since it was dark, I couldn't see it either and I didn't have a light on hand. There were only two creatures I figured could make the sound: a raccoon dog or a wolverine. If it was the former, I'd have driven it a way, but I didn't dare risk play chicken, if it turned out to be a wolverine, so I noped out. I never found out exacly what it was. Raccoon dogs are another weird creature I don't hear much about on the internet.
Look at one. It doesn't surprise me at all, they're Hellions. They're very, very well equipped, nothing for them to make a snack out of White tail deer or hell even an Elk.
All this has taught me is that if I'm ever in the wilderness my best chance of survival is to just attack anything and everything that gets close to me with 0 regard for personal safety
Except ur really squishy, soft, no claws, no resistance to venom or poison, no sharp teeth, and basically would get one shorted by everything a honey badger would walk away from unscathed despite u being like 10 times it’s size
Gryffindor: My house mascot is the mighty lion! Slytherin: Mine is the vicious snake! Ravenclaw: Mine is the strong and elegant eagle. Hufflepuff: Mine is a badger. Everyone: (flees from the Hufflepuff with screams of terror)
@@nataliawashington872 No one ever is as casual as Casual Geographic, haha. But yeah, theres (hard to believe, i know) EVEN BETTER TH-camrs out there. You just need to find them.
The weasel family are the badasses of the animal kingdom. If short tailed weasels were the size of dogs and weighed about 60 pounds, nothing would survive. And I'm going to challenge about Mustelidae-they are insanely smart. I owned ferrets from 1986 to 2018.
I can personally attest to the correctness of his facts on wolverines. We have them where I live and the top rule we have here is don’t ever mess with a moose or wolverines. A moose will trample you into a ooze puddle, but messing with wolverines means you’re asking to be permanently disappeared because those cranky bastards even eat the bones. (About all they’ll leave is your boots - and even that’s not guaranteed). Just as a “for instance”? My husband once accidentally ran over one with a company truck when he was out working at a lease out in the middle of nowhere in Northern Alberta. That living tank of an animal not only survived being ran over, but he literally tore apart everything he could reach underneath the truck, including the exhaust system from the front all the way to the back - and then destroyed one of the back tires for good measure on his way out. Fortunately my husband knew to just keep driving as far as he could get in the opposite direction. They fixed the truck, but nothing got rid of the smell except time. It’s been almost two years and yeah…you can still easily find his truck just by smell in the hotter weather. Basically, don’t mess with those suckers. You are NOT gonna win!
I firmly believe that honey badgers have a hive mind that lets every single one know every single time they’ve been disrespected in even the slightest way since they first showed up on the earth thus fueling them with rage gathered over an untold amount of generations.
“Jesus! What’s you’re problem with me!?” “YOUR GREAT-GREAT-GREAT GRANDUNCLE BIT MY NEPHEWS COUSINS UNCLES ROOMMATE, HE WAS A FUCKING HONEY BADGER AS WELL”
Any time I could use inspiration.. I play this video. To remind me that even though life itself can get very difficult for you. With the mindset like the honey badger … you can be very difficult for life itself 😊
"The Honey Badger is the only thing alive that can make a bowl cut intimidating." 🤣 You are by far 1 of the most uniquely, clever, informative individuals. Keep doing what you do, how you do. Respect
He lies in this video all the time. One example is that nonsense story about wolverine and polar bear, which is fictional. Also that honey badger Stoffel. It went to lions enclosure and male lion attacked it managed to scratch it's nose and flee. It did go there again, this time lion was angry and mauled it badly. Stoffel would have died, but medical care saved it. But it took long time to recover. After that people made sure, that no access to lions enclosure, because they didn't want Stoffel to get killed. But it didn't try to go in again.
@@pedrovargas2181 I know, that many joke. But some people actually are afraid of animals like honey badgers and wolverines because all the nonsense. Kind of sad, because some people who have guns shoot the things they are afraid of. Using a bit time to learn makes forests less scary place. Even though big carnivores like bears, cougars, lions and leopards need to be respected in different way.
So glad you included Stoffel into this video. Stoffel is _the_ honeybadger for most people, myself included. He did though win against the lion male once, by going for the crown jewels first. When he tried the same trick again, the lion saw it coming and mauled him. Then he escaped again and tried to exact revenge for that mauling. Honey badgers are just insane and i fkn love it 😂
6:46 oh nothing, just a water buffalo catching some zzzs under a starry african sky being ripped awake by the 1000lb force of a hyena's jaws tearing off his manhood.
A few hundred years from now, your descendent defends themselves from a Honey Badger with a gun. Only for the Honey Badger to spit the round out and proceed to game end them. It's at this point we knew we were done.
Hey the Stotes got it right. "those who chase two rabbits, get neither", focusing on tiring out the one rabbit is way more productive than switching targets only to have to start the process all over again.
@@NamuhYT A myth based off of a "documentary" that made it seem like they pursued on foot, but they actually hopped in a truck. Anyone who's ever worked with horses knows full well that humans can't beat them in any kind of race, regardless of the duration. And you've never done any long distance runs. You're fat.
@@MurdersMachine As far as I understand it, their pursuit hunting method was used on carnivores rather than herbivores, cause humans could feed off the vegetation as they hunted, but carnivores would scare away prey as they fled from humans, therefore not be able to eat themselves while humans kept refueling themselves as often as possible. This is a realistic scenario. While not the fastest, endurance hunting is a plausible thing, provided everyone understands the context.
The fact that Stoffel is escaping for shits ‘n’ gigs makes me laugh. Also the fact that after being mauled by a lion he tried to pick a fight with. The first thing he did after recovery was try and fight the same lion again.
The reason a stoat will continue pursuing it's original target, even running past a still target, is because they've already started exhausting the original target. It's good strategy to stay on target instead of switching to something with fresh stamina.
I don't know if it's something you'd ever considered, but with your presentation style I would love to listen to just about anything educational from you my man. Science, politics, history, whatever. Great content as always.
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life.
@Sleepycreepy fair point. I just thought he could have a second channel where he would talk about game character creature facts in the way he talks about animals, like certain Pokémon or Minecraft mobs
I just lost it over “borderline crackhead courage” 😂😂😂 Your dry delivery makes the jokes even funnier. Just found you, love channel. Thanks for the laughs!
A friend of mine called me and asked me to come help him. “I’ve got a monster, in my garage!!!” I asked, “Why not call the Game Warden?” He said, “I told you, it’s a monster!!!” So, I went over, to see this “monster”. Sure enough it was a wolverine. Mind you, this was in the mid-Ohio valley, in West Virginia, we don’t *have* wolverines, in West Virginia, (hence the “monster” designation). Long story short. It took a TV news crew, a bunch of sheriffs, two Game Wardens, and a few guys from Fish and Game, before he got rid of it. We never did find out how a wolverine wound up in my buddy’s garage. 🤔 When it was over, he had to air it out for a week.
I have to say I like that you went into extra detail about the mustelids. People are surprised by the Honey Badger but the whole family has a severe lack of chill.
Wow, first time seeing this channel, and definitely not the last! Informative and funny. Nature is crazy! Bet a lot of people didn't understand when he described what some otters do to baby seals. It's unpleasant, so he said it carefully and suggestively. Well done, young man!

It broke into the farmer;'s house. The concept of a good, restful night's sleep has been forever lost to the Farmer. Why? Because a honey badger very calmly informed him that: 1. It knows where he lives. 2. It knows when and where he sleeps. 3. It will always find a way in. 4. It will aim for the testicles. Nature. There's a reason humans tech rushed to gunpowder and napalm.
There was one time Stoffle the honey badger escaped using a metal shove that was sitting out in his enclosure. The metal was searing hot from the African sun so he pulled it into the water in his enclosure to cool it down before propping it up and using it to escape

7:18 I’m glad you mentioned the wolverines, one of my favourite homeland 🇨🇦 animals. They’ve been known to kill like 6-7 deer one right after another, without stopping in between to eat any of them.
Obviously this is a possible strategy because of the freezing temperatures here. They bury the deer and eat them frozen. It’s literally the Canadian hinterland’s version of shopping at Costco, lol.
Or they're just natures psychotic serial killers. There's the distinct possibility.

11:45 well, think about it. The rabbit you have already been hunting has already spent _some_ energy, but so have _you_ . The rabbit that was close to you was _idle_ and resting. It would be completely dumb to switch targets mid-mission.
True and thats probably why its in their nature to be tunnel visioned because probably the ones that werent, died off.
Cowardice is bred into most predators, because even a minor injury can mean death. Honey badgers and wolverines are exceedingly hard to kill, let alone seriously injure. They also have the wickedest bite in the animal kingdom. That little stoat kills the hare with a bite through the skull or spine. Unadulterated aggression has kept the species around for a million years.
With no fucks given, you'd be surprised by what you can do.
Same thing goes for crocs, but less than that black air force dog.
Actually not really. The most dangerous nonvenomous bite in the animal kingdom is probably the komodo dragon. You get bitten by one of those, and you die as surely as if it did have venom. After that, there's the hippopotamus. They kill tens of thousands of people every year. In terms of bite pressure, rats are the winner. Honey badgers and wolverines aren't even unique in being able to bite through skulls, that's the favored method of killing of jaguars.
Caution instead of cowardice

Fun fact: the mandible of mustelids is held much more tightly in place compared to other mammals meaning it is much harder to separate the mandible from the rest of the skull. This helps them to hold onto things much bigger than them without their jaw dislocating/breaking. This family is built to kill and I love them
When everything around you is bigger and faster, they need to be
and they have some of the toughest skulls in the animal kingdom
This reminds me: how often does it happen in the wild that a physically inferior animal chases off are larger and more dangerous animal?
Honeybadgers probably provide the most examples, but I've heard of a human punching an attacking bear until it ran off and saw a cat chasing off large dogs and a rooster being a menace to dogs.
You might say that these are just spectacular exceptions, but I think that there's more to it:
1) in a world where _just a scratch_ can end you, you shouldn't seek unnecessary fights. A strong human might still be able to knock out a fang of a bear and cats and roosters can blind their enemies. The smaller attacked animal has nothing to lose and everything to gain from going all in. The bigger predator on the other hand might be better advised to seek easier prey...
2) it's a recurring theme that especially animals misjudge the threat level of other animals. Many obviously look for size as an indicator, but they often don't distinguish between some animal standing or an animal that is this tall on all four legs. Quite a few animals can also inflate themselves (not necessarily literally).
Holy hell
I see what u mean small birds attacked by cats have been known to attack the eye and as you know in nature every feature counts
Apparently you can fend off white sharks by punching them.
It is unlikely that you get the chance to do that, but it's likely that it would leave if you harm it.
Predators prefer easy prey. In fact, as a human, predators are much more likely to attack you if you run away from them because this tells them you're prey.
Retaliation will probably make them think twice about attacking, and this seems to be what underdog fighters bank on. Those are probably the most dangerous ones because they are naturally much more violent and don't care if you are prey or not.
@@manunova5929 you'd be better off going for the eyes or gills of the shark for creating pain compliance. Punching the nose is the least effective option as it's sturdier and you can't punch fast under water.
PS: by the latter I mean digging the finger in and prying

Whenever I see people describing honey badgers, I think of wolverines, since I'm much more familiar with them.
I once got spooked in a forest at night. I heard a nasty growl, low to the ground, right in front of me. It wasn't a wolf or any of the usual suspects. Since it was dark, I couldn't see it either and I didn't have a light on hand.
There were only two creatures I figured could make the sound: a raccoon dog or a wolverine. If it was the former, I'd have driven it a way, but I didn't dare risk play chicken, if it turned out to be a wolverine, so I noped out. I never found out exacly what it was.

I can personally attest to the correctness of his facts on wolverines. We have them where I live and the top rule we have here is don’t ever mess with a moose or wolverines. A moose will trample you into a ooze puddle, but messing with wolverines means you’re asking to be permanently disappeared because those cranky bastards even eat the bones. (About all they’ll leave is your boots - and even that’s not guaranteed).
Just as a “for instance”? My husband once accidentally ran over one with a company truck when he was out working at a lease out in the middle of nowhere in Northern Alberta. That living tank of an animal not only survived being ran over, but he literally tore apart everything he could reach underneath the truck, including the exhaust system from the front all the way to the back - and then destroyed one of the back tires for good measure on his way out. Fortunately my husband knew to just keep driving as far as he could get in the opposite direction. They fixed the truck, but nothing got rid of the smell except time. It’s been almost two years and yeah…you can still easily find his truck just by smell in the hotter weather. Basically, don’t mess with those suckers. You are NOT gonna win!

The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life.
yesss people need more education on politics
@Sleepycreepy fair point. I just thought he could have a second channel where he would talk about game character creature facts in the way he talks about animals, like certain Pokémon or Minecraft mobs
I just lost it over “borderline crackhead courage” 😂😂😂
Your dry delivery makes the jokes even funnier. Just found you, love channel. Thanks for the laughs!
His TikTok is just the thing for quick viewing as well.
Rapid fire entertainment. " A lion who had put a couple Kenyans on a teeshirt"
And he didn't even need to use a pic of The Weasel from Suicide Squad, which looked like it actually was on crack.
Playing the straight man to the ridiculousness that is nature is entertaining, nature is just that funny
A friend of mine called me and asked me to come help him. “I’ve got a monster, in my garage!!!” I asked, “Why not call the Game Warden?” He said, “I told you, it’s a monster!!!” So, I went over, to see this “monster”.
Sure enough it was a wolverine. Mind you, this was in the mid-Ohio valley, in West Virginia, we don’t *have* wolverines, in West Virginia, (hence the “monster” designation).
Long story short. It took a TV news crew, a bunch of sheriffs, two Game Wardens, and a few guys from Fish and Game, before he got rid of it. We never did find out how a wolverine wound up in my buddy’s garage. 🤔
When it was over, he had to air it out for a week.
I have to say I like that you went into extra detail about the mustelids. People are surprised by the Honey Badger but the whole family has a severe lack of chill.
Natures murder hobo
This guy is the Stephen King of animal fact experts. I’m afraid of everything now.
At least orcas won't eat you.

Red Panda not that bad
No U just thought an over sized cat was the king of the jungle
@@Rainydayreal_estate no red panda s are viscous mad little bastards which makes sense bc they redheads /j
The hunny badger is the only thing alive that can make a bowl cut intimidating. I felt that 😂

Wow, first time seeing this channel, and definitely not the last! Informative and funny. Nature is crazy! Bet a lot of people didn't understand when he described what some otters do to baby seals. It's unpleasant, so he said it carefully and suggestively. Well done, young man!
Felony ferrets aren't just hormonal ragaholics. They genuinely enjoy being everyone's problem, even when they are taken care of. Remarkable.
I still want one as a pet tho
As a Gemini, enjoying "being everyone's problem even when they're taken care of" is just another day of the week.
@@Secretstuff1
Spoken like a true Gemini lmao
@@Secretstuff1 That’s just being a butthole with a bullshit astral excuse.
@@JohnGaltShadow careful, these zodiac hoes will justify murder and psycho behavior just because a planet got out of line. “Sorry I killed your grandmother in cold blood but I’m a Scorpio moon uwu”
This man actually makes me interested in zoology
I agree, this channel is some of the most fun I've ever had learning about Wildlife. 💯
this man could talk about water or sumthin and somehow make it interesting.
This channel is some of the most fun I've ever had learning about Wildlife. 💯
Love this channel, nature deserves its props, and the delivery is perfect.
Thanks!
It broke into the farmer;'s house. The concept of a good, restful night's sleep has been forever lost to the Farmer.
Why? Because a honey badger very calmly informed him that:
1. It knows where he lives.
2. It knows when and where he sleeps.
3. It will always find a way in.
4. It will aim for the testicles.
Nature. There's a reason humans tech rushed to gunpowder and napalm.
Wow!
The farmer was Stoffel's handler if I recall.
@@maximaldinotrap yes it was that breaking in was just show of power
So basically... Honey Badgers put all of their stats into Vitality and Endurance.
Pretty sure there are some dexterity points too, but otherwise tanky. Super tanky.
😂😂
Honey Badgers realized that poise is the only stat that matters
0 intel points....
I'd say Stoffel proves they def have some intel statted in as well as the one that moved the crate to get to the hanging cage.
it's hilarious watching these honey badgers fight big predators, and win.
also, "made a leopard cosplay a cheetah" had me wheezing.
Perfect mix of wit and solid information in this video. So many great one-liners. Thanks for the great video!
There was one time Stoffle the honey badger escaped using a metal shove that was sitting out in his enclosure. The metal was searing hot from the African sun so he pulled it into the water in his enclosure to cool it down before propping it up and using it to escape
That's incredible! Thanks for sharing.
Kind of reminds me of Australian sappers.
Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/c36UNSoJenI/w-d-xo.html
"Only to cos play as a cheetah when the momma badger inserted herself into the conversation." One of many gems delivered. Educational and fun.
"You'll face God's wrath now"
Honey Badger: This "God" you talk about... is he tasty? 'Cause I'm kinda hungry
