I saw this about a week ago, and if he found it at the same place I did, or anywhere near it for that matter, you are better off not knowing.
 
Re: The Honey Badger

The animal is cool as hell, but the narrator was making me ill. WTH.

See below, pretty interesting. Looks like it's fat is the key.

"The Hedgehog, the Mongoose, the Secretary Bird, the Honey Badger and a few other birds feeding on snakes, are known to be immune to an ordinary dose of snake venom; whether the pig may be considered so is still uncertain, although it is well known that, owing to its subcutaneous layer of fat, it is often bitten without ill effect."

I know we had some info passed around last year to the effect that rattlesnakes were rettling less often. Apparently the freal hogs we have here would hear the rattle and go kill and eat the snake.
I think that for whatever reason some animals are resistant to some snake's venom. I think I remember that cobras are not affected by another cobra's bite.
It looks like the Honey Badger was affected but overcame it with no ill effects.

Yeah, it looked almost like he had to rest for a few while the toxin was metabolized or whatever you would call the process. Either way, they look like tough little bastards and make for great shaving brushes.
 
Re: The Honey Badger

They are very cool creatures, and tough as nails. In the actual show they had a segment where a lion was trying to kill one of them. Eventually it got it, but the little badger didn't make it easy and went out fighting. Impressive and respectable.

Didn't y'all recognize the narrator? That's Steve Erwin's twin brother Gaius!
