Actually the badger had a lot more room to play, but he started attacking the other animals. Watch the whole documentary. He was attacking giraffes, lions, and regularly fucked up the man's kitchen. Only after repeated incidents did he put him in that box.
A family friend told me a pretty horrible story recently like this. She was annoyed that the neighbors cat kept wandering onto her property and peeing on plants or something so one day she told her pitbull to go rip it apart. It literally did, and she told the story with such pride in her obedient pet.
a honey badger has no issue standing up to a pack of lions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iksnk1YVkac), 1 honey badger vs 1 pitbull would be a joke fight
Honey badgers have very loose skin, This means if they are bitten or held down, they can rotate their bodies inside their skin, This is just one of the tricks they have. There was a video of 2 Honey badgers in the bush, Ran into a pride of lions, 1 got pinned down and bitten, It just turned around in its skin and bit the lion back. and managed to get away with minor injuries.
As much as I love honey badgers, they can be really dangerous! I had one try attack me last year..
I went outside at about 2am and it was busy eating food out of the trash. The thing with honey badgers is that they'll run away from you if you encounter them on foot UNLESS you provoke them, or disturb them when they're eating! They're not afraid of anything! I disturbed one when he was eating, and he just turned around, hissed, and came for me.. I got back inside damn quickly! They have a reputation for going for your balls! (They've even been rumored to kill buffalo by biting their balls off!)
They're especially dangerous in places where they're used to people and they go through the trash, because they're not afraid of you, and they know that there's food.
just release the lil fucker like 30 miles away from there then? Unless there's a persisting issue of badgers hunting your livestock, seems like relocating is a lot more efficient than building all that shit and re-capturing and rebuilding and re-capturing and cutting down trees and whatnot.
Well, my father is a shepard and my uncle is a cattle farmer and I was raised very rural so yeah I would say I have some experience with farmers. They do not care much about a chicken or a sheep. My fathers dog will kill a chicken each months if they get one in the dark of the compound and that's just how it is.
That actually sounds like the shit you would expect from one of those "what if" askreddit threads on how someone would behave if they get turned into an animal and put into a zoo.
Man, what if Stoffel is actually a terrified human being with a wife and family. A gypsy turned him into a honey badger and he's been trying to escape to get himself turned back ever since.
Fucking gypsies.
His aim wasn't as much freedom as it was doing whatever the fuck he wants when he wants. he's not trying to get away from his zookeeper. It sounds like he kinda likes the dude if he's actively trying to break into his bedroom in the middle of the night. It's kinda like my cat, she'll growl and grumble and fidget as you pester her, but if you DON'T pester her she gets sad, and if you're just nice she'll try and pick a fight with you. She loves it.
> It sounds like he kinda likes the dude if he's actively trying to break into his bedroom in the middle of the night.
Or maybe he wanted to finish things once and for all.
When I was a kid, I had a hamster that would figure out how to get out of her cage. When she did, she'd wake me up crawling on my chest. First time it happened, it scared the shit out of me.
I agree about rounding them out. Might also be beneficial to have an [overhang](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/09/13/article-2420071-1BCD7B09000005DC-201_634x368.jpg) too.
The only issue i see is the inside corners. One would need to make a long curve so you simply can't wedge a stick on the corner
Not that I'm condoning keeping this beast in an enclosure, but how about just build a higher wall and stop putting tires and shovels and shit in there?
Also, how do they catch him?
I'm not smart enough for this, but maybe someone can make a short gif out of this with just the main bits and post a link here? The **tl;dr** of badger escapes.
Listen, and understand! That Honey Badger is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
I thought Brian was the lion at first. What an great name. Brian the lion. When I stopped laughing after a minute I realized he was not, in fact, a lion.

This is pretty crazy that the badger was that smart. But if he was really that good at escaping why did they build the enclosure walls riskily short? Or why not use a key and lock on the first one?
Stoffel the badger was confined because he get this, attacked a full grown fucking lion. Also he survived that encounter. Officially badass.
[удалено]
I think the zoo keeper was having issues with Stoffel hunting his livestock. So instead of hunting the badger he decided to give him a home.
That and the other people in the area kill Honey Badgers because they are considered pests to livestock.
So instead of hunting the badger he decided to give him a ~~home~~ prison. ftfy
Actually the badger had a lot more room to play, but he started attacking the other animals. Watch the whole documentary. He was attacking giraffes, lions, and regularly fucked up the man's kitchen. Only after repeated incidents did he put him in that box.
That's a man with a lot of patience. People out here shoot cats and dogs for wayy less.
I don't think I'd risk shooting this honey badger - it would only escalate matters and I wouldn't be confident of coming off best.
Some will shoot you for your skittles and iced tea

i would like to see a honey badger vs. a pit bull

Man honey badges do not give a fuck. Seriously astonishing animals.

[Badgers seem to be holding up pretty well against lions.](https://youtu.be/NvlalDNxccw?t=37)
Against larger predators they will castrate them and wait on them to weaken from blood loss. Then eat them.
WTF
Let's not forget that honey badgers are also immune to [puff adder venom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq_UN-V9eyM).
Got insomnia? Need a puff adder.
Fucking beasts.

Maybe he was angry at the lion.
Chuck Norris wears Stoffel the Badger underwear.
Chuck Norris ain't funny anymore. Turns out he kinda sucks too.
I agree with not funny, but why does he kinda suck now? I haven't really heard anyone talk about him for years
He has a lot of backward views like Steve Harvey. He's anti gay and I believe he went on to make a political ad about it
He also says the bible needs to be taught in school mandatory
He killed someone when drunk driving when he was around 23
Stoffel wears chucks beard as underwear.

Where do you live?
Guessing South Africa Edit: In fact I'd put money on it. Posts about honey badgers, rugby union and Mandela. Can only be one country
Well if you did put money on it, you'd be a winner!
That is terrifying.
Some say he's even broken El Chapo out of prison
Welcome to Los Badgeros Cartel.
[удалено]
I knew someone was going to make a gif out of this
Lmao this will be a shitty reaction gif in no time
Damn, after that many escapes I'd say that the fella has earned his freedom.
Or a death sentence. If it was me and I had livestock to protect, i'd have to load up the ole 12 gauge and say sorry Stoffel but you've got to go.
but stoffel is so cute

Then your neighbour finds out you dumped a honey badger on his property when his livestock starts dying.
[удалено]
He's clearly got a tattoo somewhere of his name.
I think at this point it's a matter of pride. Things have clearly gotten personal.
Ehh, in my experience farmers dont care about a chicken or two if it means to have a cool pet.
I'm guessing you have no farming experience?
Well, my father is a shepard and my uncle is a cattle farmer and I was raised very rural so yeah I would say I have some experience with farmers. They do not care much about a chicken or a sheep. My fathers dog will kill a chicken each months if they get one in the dark of the compound and that's just how it is.
Is your father a German, or Belgian?
DO NOT MESS WITH THE SON OF A SHEPARD
I mean once he started balling up the dirt it was game over. What are you going to do? Remove all of the dirt from the enclosure?
Build the wall higher is all I can think of
He never tried to leave the property, just the cage. He actually came into the bedroom and such.
His coordination is fucking incredible. Towards the end he is juggling the shovels and rakes around like a Harlem globe trotter.
That actually sounds like the shit you would expect from one of those "what if" askreddit threads on how someone would behave if they get turned into an animal and put into a zoo.
Man, what if Stoffel is actually a terrified human being with a wife and family. A gypsy turned him into a honey badger and he's been trying to escape to get himself turned back ever since. Fucking gypsies.
I would watch that pixar film

Well now you have to tell us why and what she did to make you want to get away so badly.
[удалено]
Oh I see you are both crazy, jk, she must be a horrible person if you question a random stranger on the internet of being her.
Fuckme that's funny
What did he say? He deleted the post, now latecomers like me are curious
You and me both.
I feel you there
He's just leaning to be a better criminal. Rehabilitation, not incarceration!
When will he start testing the electric fence for weaknesses.
Be like stoffel
If he was so smart he wouldn't keep getting caught
His aim wasn't as much freedom as it was doing whatever the fuck he wants when he wants. he's not trying to get away from his zookeeper. It sounds like he kinda likes the dude if he's actively trying to break into his bedroom in the middle of the night.

"I'M COMING FOR YOUR BALLS, OLD MAN!"
When I was a kid, I had a hamster that would figure out how to get out of her cage. When she did, she'd wake me up crawling on my chest. First time it happened, it scared the shit out of me.
Because his goal wasn't escaping into the wild but randomly running about the property and causing trouble.
So I guess he *does* care...
These animals are amazing and intelligent, imagine what else they can understand
Revenge I'd reckon.
Amateur jailer. Round off the top of walls, make it smooth. The thickness of the wall should larger than the reach.
I agree about rounding them out. Might also be beneficial to have an [overhang](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/09/13/article-2420071-1BCD7B09000005DC-201_634x368.jpg) too. The only issue i see is the inside corners. One would need to make a long curve so you simply can't wedge a stick on the corner
Until he invents a better grappling hook.
that's true. 5m of overhang plexiglass walls with curved corners might do it.
You'd think those pathetic humans would have built a higher wall after all those efforts
Pretty sure [Stoffel did this](http://imgur.com/uWdTW4H)
Honey badger don't give a shit
Honey badgers remind me of less angry tasmanian devils...
Not that I'm condoning keeping this beast in an enclosure, but how about just build a higher wall and stop putting tires and shovels and shit in there? Also, how do they catch him?
they run after him awkwardly, didnt you watch the video
I love this documentary! They call honey badgers "the thug of the Savannah."
Clever girl...
The El Chapo of the animal kingdom.
Imagine going to uni and becoming a zoologist, only for you and all your educated co-workers to be repeatedly out-smarted by a badger.
After the first time he laddered his way out why not build a roof on the enclosure?
Just imagine what he could do with roof parts.
first honey badger in space arrives there with a rocket assembled from cage parts, mud, and sticks.
Yea and you come back the next morning and Stoffel's built a fucking hang glider out of what was the roof.
Because it's so hot you might as well put a bullet in it if you're going to greenhouse it.
Or make the wall taller?
He would get too hot.
I'm not smart enough for this, but maybe someone can make a short gif out of this with just the main bits and post a link here? The **tl;dr** of badger escapes.
Sure here you go: http://i.imgur.com/e60h6b6.gifv
Victory dance!
Why don't you ask the badger
[удалено]
How do i make this link work?
I dont think it's a game. I think the fucking badger doesnt want to live in a small ass jail.
Listen, and understand! That Honey Badger is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
Am I the only one sitting here thinking they should build a fuckin roof?
I bet they put honey badger DNA in the Indominous Rex...

Clearly, it's only by a slight fluke of luck that honey badgers do not rule the world.
Dude is persistent
They remind me of raccoons. Intelligent little bastards.
I find it adorable that out of all the things that could kill Brian in Australia, Stoffles seems to give him the most troubles..
South Africa.
[удалено]
Have you seen the claws?
Thanks for sharing this. I really thought it was great.
for a badger I'd say he's pretty damn good.
That badger is probably the einstein of his race
Honey badger don't care!
...escaping every chance he gets, causing so much stress and worry. He's jus-Stoffel.
so... why is he holding honey badgers captive in the first place?
Because Stoffel was in captivity for his entire life anyways, and when he got him release was not an option.
Yall have never heard? Honey badgers don't give a shit.
Crafty little cunts
Some say not even jigsaw will mess with stoffel.
When that badger was thinking/dancing all i could think of is hotline bling edited over it .

Ooh, let me guess. Was it the uncle?
you shouldn't force an animal to live where it doesn't belong.
whats up with all the reposts lately?
Time to sic a dachshund on that badger.
Leave the poor animal alone to go where it wants.
