"Leopards can sometimes take them though" That's a quite under exaggerated statement considering leopards are there natural predator. A leopard can easily take down the honey badger. Of course people like to exaggerate on folklores.
@cavmanier Maybe I am no biologist, but honey badgers are determined opponents. I suspect that like most predators, Leopards aim for prey which is the least risk. And from this article it sounds like even for a leopard, going after a honey badger is taking a significant risk. slate.com/.../...win-a-fight-with-a-wolverine.html
I agree with you almost totally. I don't know for sure either, but that's why I said if a leopard is hungry enough because honey badgers are fearless with sharp teeth, claws and are resilient. Plus there isn't much meat. Leopard are much going to prefer other prey. If a leopard is hungry or not in a good mood, it'll turn a honey badger into a bucket of chicken nuggets though.
I disagree with honey badgers being a significant risk though. A honey badger can't hurt a leopard beyond something superficial, but maybe an infection can happen is the stars align perfectly. Leopards know that they don't want to be bit though of course.
@cavmanier If it is true that honey badgers go for the genitals of other species (whether they do seems to be a matter of dispute among scientists), than the damage to a Leopard would be a lot more than superficial lol.
A honey badger would have zero ability to get anywhere near a leopards thing. They are slow and clumsy, especially compared to a leopard. That said though, they survive because they are not easy meals for cats. I mean they are relatively easy for a cat to kill but not without bites to the face so it's not appealing.
To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. These small, transparentanimals hang out in oceans around the world and can turn back time by reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle.

hippo because they kill crocs in water and chase away rhinos on land
I agree, honey badgers are the toughest animals around. Leopards can sometimes take them though.

@cavmanier Not from what I have read.
They are tough opponents but go down to big cats if the big cat is hungry. People love to exaggerate underdog scenarios.
See how much fun people like this are having?
"Honey Badger Don’t Give A Fuck!!! 🤣🤣🤣"
It's in their interest to exaggerate.
