That final punt was the closing remark. That elephant was done playing around.
Honey badger: “we’ll call it a draw”
Honey Badger: “I didn’t hear no bell.”
Honey badgers are some of the toughest and vicious creatures. The animal kingdom is lucky that they’re pretty small.
“I said…. good day, sir!”
I love how the fight is just the elephant kicking it around like a hacky sack.
Maybe not having a fear response of any kind is actually a bad thing in some cases
Honey badger gives no fucks
But remember “Honey badgers don’t give a fuck”
It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop… ever, until you are dead!
This is a complete disservice to the original video. The original audio has posh British grannies offering commentary and it is the funniest thing ever

That kick at the end 😂😂😂
The kick at the end I have replayed at least a dozen times and it gets funnier every time.
“I didn’t hear no bell”
Mearly a flesh wound
How high honey badger is?
Never thought I’d see an elephant roundhouse kick a badger
😂 The last kick was personal.

Goal at last
What’s really interesting is that the elephant could have easily stomped the badger. But instead it uses sweeping motions and punts. It also trots off with a very specific body language. It’s almost like a scene between a bully and a kid who finally teaches him a lesson. The elephant walks off triumphant
This is the incredibly rare… Karen Badger 🦡
Unfortunately, she has mistaken the elephant 🐘 for the store manager.
Did it survive?
Nobody likes an ankle biter 🤣
That elephant was empathetic and still quite gentle, it could have just stomped the badger.
In 1996, in South Africa, an ecologist named Brian Jones rescued a young honey badger — a small, cute little critter that looks like a badger — and placed him in the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. The beast was named Stoffel.
— Well fuck me sideways, — said the honey badger, who only allowed himself to be rescued because he wanted adventures.
Once recovered, Stoffel kicked things off by butchering every rabbit, baby deer, and even a steppe eagle in the center. The eagle tried to fight back, but Stoffel didn’t give a single fuck. All warmed up, he headed to the kitchen where the staff worked.
— What’s up, bitches, miss me? — Stoffel grinned, and started chasing people around the kitchen.
The staff were all locals, so they wisely just ran for their lives, screaming like hell, instead of trying to catch the badger.
— Cowards, — sighed the critter. — Oh mighty African gods, I’m bored as fuck…
He chewed through all the supplies, opened the fridge, picked the tastiest bits, and waddled off with a stuffed belly. On the way, he ran into Dr. Jones.
— And what the hell am I supposed to do with you now? — wondered the scientist.
— Don’t care, — said Stoffel lazily, with a hint of respect for his savior. — Wanna fight? Bet I’ll kick your ass.
— No way, — refused the ecologist. — I can’t release you into the wild, you’re not adapted.
— Oh, really, huh? — cackled the honey badger.
— I’ll make you your own enclosure.
— Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you, — smirked Stoffel.
They gave him a pen with trees and grass. Stoffel sat there for a couple of hours, but only because he was choosing who to fuck up next. This time it was the lions’ unlucky day. Stoffel climbed a tree and with a wild scream:
— Hey, you ginger motherfuckers, it’s showtime! — launched himself straight onto the lions.
The badger turned the lions’ enclosure into a slaughterhouse, but eventually got injured and was tossed into the infirmary. As soon as he was discharged, he headed back to the lions, muttering:
— Didn’t finish those assholes last time…
— Mr. Jones, we beg you in the name of freedom and democracy, — pleaded the lions, — save us from this psycho bastard. He smashed our paws and faces to pieces!
The lions got reinforced fencing.
— Why bother dirtying my paws, — thought the badger, busted out again, and went after jackals, hyenas, and porcupines.
— Save us, fuck! — shrieked the animals, running in panic around the center, while Stoffel laughed maniacally.
So the ecologist built him an enclosure with high stone walls.
— Don’t care, — shrugged the badger, collected rocks from the whole territory, stacked them into a pile, and hopped over the wall.
Freed, he went straight to Jones’s house, eating and beating everything in his path.
— Told you I don’t give a fuck, — Stoffel announced, bursting into the house and scaring the doctor’s family shitless. — Come on, let’s fight already!
The badger was unhinged, and the doctor stubborn. Jones ordered all the rocks cleared out of the pen. Then Stoffel made clumps of mud, dried them in the sun, built another pile, and went back to terrorize the trembling lions. Jones kept locking Stoffel up, and Stoffel just kept breaking out, using everything — rakes, branches, digging tunnels, opening latches…
The best part? Everyone actually loved him for this bullshit. And so he still lives there, terrorizing everyone and eating everything he sees.
The honey badger is the biggest nihilist and lunatic in the animal world. His hide is so thick even arrows can’t pierce it — let alone other animals’ teeth and claws. Of course, badgers love honey, and they follow a little bird called the honeyguide, which whistles to show them wild beehives. The bird profits too: once the badger’s done, it munches the leftover larvae.
— Are you fucking insane, Winnie-the-Pooh? — yell the African bees, when the badger shoves his happy mug into their hive. — We’re poisonous!
— Don’t care, — says the badger.
And indeed, he’s immune to most natural poisons. He’ll just lie down, recover, and move on. Shit, he can even take out any snake. Shocked by the sheer audacity, the snake of course bites the crazy bastard.
— Oh shit, I’m dying! — squeals the honey badger, collapses, twitches, and goes still.
— Phew, thank god, — sighs the snake.
But a couple hours later, the badger shakes off the venom, jumps up, and with a scream:
— Ha! Fooled your scaly ass! — rushes in to finish the snake.
Badgers eat everything: fruit, veggies, birds, fish, snakes, baby crocs, livestock, honey, bugs, carrion. And they can do everything too: climb trees, jump, run, swim, dig like hell through rock-hard ground. They’re slippery bastards too — their loose skin lets them wriggle around inside themselves. Their jaws crunch bones like crackers. And on top of that, they can stink-bomb like skunks, blinding predators before tearing into them.
Plus, they’re insanely smart. They don’t have a hunting routine; they improvise every time. If the prey’s much bigger, the badger politely rips off its balls and whistles while waiting for it to bleed out.
Basically, honey badgers are the Aliens of the animal kingdom. They have no enemies, because they are the enemy. Not even lions or leopards want to mess with this nihilist who’ll take on a dozen beasts at once. The badger gets deeply offended that nobody wants to fight him, so when bored, he just goes out to pick fights himself.
They usually avoid humans. But in 2007, in Basra, Iraq, rumors spread that man-eating honey badgers were attacking people at night. Later, it wasn’t confirmed. But given the character of this little psychotic fucker, I wouldn’t be so sure.
That punt at the end! Suprised he didn’t stomp and squash it.
Am i just severely overestimating how strong the elephant is? I expected it to just strait up crush that thing after the first 3 or 4 charges.
Honey badger don’t care, he’s doesn’t give a shit. Look at him run.
Elephant: (kicks honey badger)
Honey Badger: “That all you got, punk?!”
Elephants play soccer now?
*Randy Marsh meme*
“I didn’t hear no bell!”
He wanted to see what was in his trunk.
Honey badger: “ow”
Honey badgers don’t give a fuck. They will charge in solo and pick a fight with an entire pride of lions.
Back hand!
Honey badger truly don’t give a fuck
That little thing is all balls but not for its own best at all.
It’s not about how hard you can hit… it’s about how hard you can get hit and get back up 💪
Had a friend who always got into fights with far larger guys, we called him Badger…
