  • Honey Badger Versus Leopard Showdown In Sabi Sands [Video]

    We all know that the honey badger is a plucky, and at times ferocious, character, but it doesn’t hurt to be reminded.

    Never shy of taking on an animal far bigger than themselves, it’s a mother honey badger below who’s taking the plaudits, after charging a leopard to save her kit (that’s the term for a baby honey badger – useless fact for the day sorted).

    Holding the camera is the very aptly named Sahara Wulfsohn, a 28-year-old guide at the Sabi Sands game reserve.

    His story has been featured on TimesLIVE:

    “The leopard launched its attack in a fury of claw and tooth with the small badger fighting bravely and valiantly but not really a match for the leopard. I was filming at this point and then noticed the mother badger running at speed towards the melee and rapidly displaced the leopard,” said Wulfsohn.

    “The sighting ended with the mother badger dragging her large cub by the scruff of the neck into a convenient and nearby hole in a termite mound. The young badger had probably broken its front right leg, but will almost certainly survive thanks to the strength and protection of its mother”.

    Good use of the word ‘melee’.

    Just go ahead watch the showdown for yourself:

    That face at the end is the face of defeat.

    So, in nature, the honey badger defeats the leopard, and the leopard defeats the village .

    Us humans must know our place.
