A female honey badger who recently devoured a termite mine, fell asleep in the terminte mine, a lion pride venturing through trys to ambush her, she scares the lion away from the hole after being woke and goes on her way. This is the most fearless animal in the world, the lions don't pursue her for good reason and are very cautious. Honey badgers chase lions off kills all the time. Even a male lion was once taken off a kill by a little honey badger. An it's been filmed 4 times That I know of, just not on youtube. Which is suprising that as many times as honey badgers have drove lions off kills nobody has uploaded on yet. Once 3 honey badgers drove 7 lions off a kill, and it was filmed. Well not only can a honey badger chase and drive lions off kills, they can defeat them in fights. You see there skin is thick as they come, very hard for the lion to a grip if the lions attack the badger, honey badger have even killed cape buffalos by biting them and them bleeding to death. This little monster even jumps on farmers livestock backs and kill thems, sadly there being poisoned by farmers for that reason. The honey badger the most fearless animal on earth, while the wolverine is the toughest on earth. In one case in 1972 a honey badger ripped the genitals off a nomad lion that sadly chose to attack the badger out of desparation for hunger, the honey badger goes for it's enemys genitals, and sadly for the lion, it lived up to it's reputation, the lion died from his injuries. So to the question can a honey badger kill a lion? Yes they can, they have very deadly jaws and claws, very thick protective skin, more so by far then a male lions mane. There skin is almost cant be pentrated. Just a couple of months ago a lion made an attempt to attack a honey badger, after the fight the lion was never seen again, honey badger lived

Hell of an animal, i've seen one at the zoo. Not fearsome looking, I didn't think, but hell.. the word that comes to mind is 'intent'..

i think what i like the most about this odd little addition to the animal kingdom is its total lack of concern for predators. it walks through with only it's own intent as a preoccupation. that's an animal that really knows how to live. to use an analogy for humans, this bloke would not care if he was on the pavement, the street, walking through someone's yard, over someone's car
it's the rest of the world who needs to worry about him an animal comes looking to eat it, and gets dragged into it's den and eaten ...that's bloody hysterical

The word i'd use for this animal: hard.
Hard being a unique combination of both aggressive and cold.
