Honey badgers

"Another chance to see...." (etc) this remarkable 2014 programme on what is probably the world's most fearless animal. And just as much fun to watch the second time around. :D

Attacks lions and hyenas, and can kill them both. Will see off a male rhino. Gets a quarter of its diet from poisonous snakes such as cobras, whose venom can't harm it. And has a nice line in intelligence - it can solve problems, use objects as tools, work gate latches, break in through your windows and raid the freezer, and you wouldn't be well advised to try and stop it. Honey badger don't give a sh*t, as the meme goes.

Some of the escape stunts in this programme looked a teensy bit staged for the cameras, but we can count ourselves lucky that we don't have honey badgers to deal with in these northern climes. Those little bastards are going to inherit the earth. :lol:
