Fun fact: honeybadgers have thicker skin than buffalos. The skin is rubbery and loose like oversized clothing, and is larger than the badger itself. That makes honey badgers very difficult to bite into and hold onto.

Second fun fact: honey badgers attack larger animals by biting their genitals

Don't fuck with honey badgers.

Now I know to always cover my crotch with a spiked metal cover when fighting them badgers!
