The Honey Badger.. sadly overhyped ?

[vegster]

Well its goodbye to the Care Bear with a few dental problems, I believe his supporters made a little too much of its abilities and swayed the public vote against it.
A salient point is that "you can fool some of the people, some of the time......"

For reference see, Jensen Button, Joe Bugner, Leon Knight, Sven Goran Ericsson....

Not over-hyped, just overlooked by most due to their failure to grasp the criteria for the hardest animal POUND FOR POUND.

Precisely. Not over-hyped, but underestimated.

I think that it should be a one man,one vote, poll and as such the sad loser Honey Bear fans who have spunked theirs should be unable to vote again !

Especially as they are obviously going to try spoiling tactics against the mighty Hippo !

Its not pound for pound though is it or else the ant would win hands down every time.
Strong, vicious and if in any sort of trouble they will vomit over you.

IMHO, the Honey Badger is the Doug Loft of the animal kingdom.

The mosquito has killed more people than anything.

Does that not make it the HARDEST?

no- it only kills people via a disease that it carries

like saying an AIDS victim is hard


if it was JUST done on pound for pound hardness, then the ANT should've won, but i don't think it should be JUST be a pound for pound contest, as you HAVE to take into account the brute FORCE of something like a bear

whilst pound for pound should be taken into account, it shouldn't be the be all and end all

'IMO'

My GOD I wish I'd been on hear a few days ago to support the mighty ratel

This beastie was featured on the "Deadly 60" show on Cbbc this morning where it got maximum rating in all categories - I think this officially makes it "Well Hard". It was shown in action seeing of a Leopard and also giving a venomous snake a good seeing to.

However I believe that this creature has an image problem. The name doesn't conjure up the image of a ruthless killing machine and the Cbbc presenter said that no creature should dare to come between one and it's favourite food - Honey. The latter doesn't really conjure up an image of hardness (Winnie the Pooh likes honey), surely it should be something like Cobra's gizzards or Lion's spleen on which it thrives.

I would like to launch a makeover campaign for this creature. Starting with the name - how about "Oatway's Badger"?

Any other suggestions for name and diet?

I can't wait for next season's Animal Bowl already

Glad to hear it is an Ex!!

Monkeys and honey badger escape Olomouc zoo
ČTK | 10 September 2010
Olomouc, North Moravia, Sept 9 (CTK) - The Olomouc zoo still misses two male Japanese Macaques that have been on escape for more than two months, resisting all attempts by the attendants to catch them, zoo spokeswoman Hana Labska told CTK, adding that animal escapes are nothing unprecedented not only in Olomouc.

The zoo in Prague announced the escape of a female honey badger earlier this week.


Eeeeeek......!
