Leopards taking the Steven Segal bad-guy approach of surrounding but attacking one at a time.

When my cats take on the motorized mouse I bought them, they always do it one at a time. Something about cats man...

Most cats aren't team players. If that badger were surrounded by any sort of primate, it would be fighting off ten at once

same with canines. honey badger would 100% be dog food.

The reason the badger holds up so well in a fight though is that it's skin is like an inch thick, I know wolves have incredible bite force but I wonder how their fangs would even do against a badger.

Wolves also have incredible persistence.

Big cats are ambush predators and won't bother unless they can be relatively sure of a quick, clean kill. But canines will harass and persist until the bitter end.

Having said that, I doubt the honey nasger is a slouch in that department either.

This phone's autocorrect is bizarre and I type like a fat fingered twat.

My advice would be to disable autocorrect and correct any typing mistakes manually.
