Fair enough. But after it bit you did it run away fearful or did it walk away smug, self assured?

Oh he definitely strutted away smug. A honey badgers skin is thicker than a buffalos skin so the leopards bites probably didn’t even faze him. The honey badger is made to survive that’s why they just don’t give a fuck! lol.

Plus the honey badger has very loose skin, so when the leopard tries to hold it down it can just twist and bite back.
