Some of the Badgers comebacks this year have been nothing short of incredible and awe inspiring to say the least, but this might be one step to far for the tired creature.

I'm quite surprised by this final. I like the Honey Badger, I think the lad is genuinely nuts. He'd take on bigger boys even if he didn't stand a chance, he shows no fear.
The Hippo on the other hand is really just a gentle giant who is only here due to his size. NOBODY can claim the Hippopotamus is a KILLING MACHINE, it's just that things end up dead after getting in his way. I mean COME ON people.
I do like the old Hippo but there were MANY harder and more vicious contestants in this competition who have already bowed out, to let the whole event be WON by a Hippo would be just like Greece's Euro 2004 win: A JOKE

They ARE aggressive. They are killing machines and not just by trampling.

They are aggressive but they don't kill for food. They are still HARD.

Well that does rather illustrate my point actually Mr Barrel of Fun
The Hippo manages to take on just ONE of the attacking pride and then legs it to hide in the water whilst they're distracted. And let's be honest, the Hippo is the size of TWO of the Lions so it's to be expected that he'd be able to tear a chunk out of one of them
But if he was proper hard he'd have taken them all on

Au contraire. The Hippo in question was being surrounded by a pride of lions. It managed to defend itself, by taking one victim, and then returning to its natural habitat.
There would be no point in it slaying any more lions as it doesn't kill mammals for food.
It killed the lion as it is hard, as opposed to the natural instinct of feedings itself. Why expend any more energy for the sake of another kill, when he it has fended off a grave attack and made it's point.
The way you write, reminds me of another poster. I am thinking Turienzo's Lovechild.

Please show me a video of a Honey Badger killing a lion.
Oh oh but it tries to bite the lions knackers! So it's well hard, see!
(In which case, some sort of cricket box is all that is required)

For the simple reason that the HB goes off and picks fights, it is hard. Size does not come into it: it is fearless, and any creature that fights a venomous snake, gets a bite and comes back from a comatose state to eat said snake gets my vote. Full credit hippo killing a lion - but a 5 metre long honey badger would have taken the whole pride.
As discussed by someone else previously, the Honey Badger is immune from the venom. That's not hard.

Sorry but I don't believe this Honey Badger is immune shit. If this were the case then why is there footage of honey Badgers taking a venomous bite from a badass snake and being rendered immobile from it thereafter?
I've not found any evidence online that Honey Badgers are immune to snake venom, exactly where does this suggestion come from?

By the way, good on the Badger for getting this far I say, great effort.
After typing 'honey badger immune' into Google, the first result;
"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"
Perhaps I'll enter the deadly HEDGEHOG into next years contest.
