Hahaha clearly photoshopped by the lion! It's very unlikely he lost his mane in the second picture. Probably left the killing to his girlfriend...coward.
And even if it is, it's not like "excessive overconfidence" like Op called it. Lion pulls up on badger, badger can either fight back and hopefully scare off the lion, or can roll over and just die. It's called fight or flight for a reason, badger chose fight.
Then they attack you, not from the front fffffwhip but from the sides. They cut you here, here, or maybe… here, disemboweling you, spilling your intestines.
Honey Badgers have thick rubber like skin, and can infact rotate and twist their body whilst in the jaws of something, so to give them a nasty attack with their razor sharp claws.
I love that guy. He’s to the point, admits his mistakes and when he doesn’t know something. And teaches about nature the whole time in a fun and engaging way. One of the few good things to come out of tik tok (zefrank1 is also a really cool dude as well)
Well it's not like the honey badger can outrun the cat, the best chance it has at survival is making the lion think that a confrontation might not be worth it.
I like how nature was like yeah let's have this bear in the same area as tigers so they turn aggressive as fuck...nice now make it extra cute and derpy looking
Honey badgers usually tend to be overaggressive because of the simple fact that they do not have a choice. They can’t run from a lion, and can’t juke it easily because of the sheer size difference. They’re usually backed into a corner and the only escape is to fight, and honey badgers do that well. Honey badgers are surprisingly tough for their size, being able to turn around and bite the predator’s face or even eyes while being pinned to the ground. A single badger can take a beating from multiple lions for a surprisingly long time, because of their thick and loose skin. (Correct me if I got anything wrong.)
I doubt a honey badger could outrun a lion. Maybe he got into that position due to overconfidence, but really had no choice but to fight or at least make eating him not worth the trouble.
An extremely dumb move to hold a still live honey badger near the face. That thing will claw your eyes out and the second you let it go will give you an extremely painful time. Be happy nature didn't give a larger animal this guy's temper.
Scariest fucking enemy in far cry 5... Was the honey badger. And apparently those little fuckers are hyper aggressive irl and will take on just about anything.
I've heard that honey badger is aggressive with everyone because it gives it a better chance to survive. He's not a good runner, he doesn't have good a good sight, so its biggest weapon is to being aggressive in order to surprise the predators. I've seen many videos of lions being suprised and letting the badger go away once they tried to play with him. I believe it's similar to those videos where a giant bear is scared by a dog or cat that started to chase him. So I wouldn't say that "overconfidence" kills him
Look at the lower canines of the badger. Adult ones have upto an inch long. The ones in this Pic is just developing which clearly shows its a juvenile.
It's still the smartest idea for the honey badger to face the lion head on. If it runs, it's surely dead. If it's persistent enough, the lion may back down.
Honey badger is actually probably fine. They can rotate inside their skin and looks like the lion only has some back scruff. Betcha lion gets bit and ditches honey badger. Honey badger don’t care.
Honey Badger can still get out of that.
Next photo, lion in the honey badgers mouth...
Ya, honey badger is just playing along so she takes him to the pack. More food for him.
You jest but he absolutely can.
Quite clearly a trap for the entire pride.
I know what you mean, unlike op
Yeah I was gonna say honey badger didn’t hear no bell.
Hahaha clearly photoshopped by the lion! It's very unlikely he lost his mane in the second picture. Probably left the killing to his girlfriend...coward.
All i see is a free ride.
Thick pliable skin. Absolutely escapable. You know if the spine doesn’t crack on first chomp.
Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Lion...LION!!!
Yeah, that badger's expression is "I'm not in your stomach yet bitch!"
Look at the young lions eyes, he's realising right now how much he f'ed up.
That's a juvenile badger. That lioness would have kept her distance if it was an adult.
Yeah, he’s not dead yet. The lion is making a huge mistake not immediately going for the kill here.
Baby honey badger
Either way, honey badger don't give a shit
What the lion doesn’t know is that the honey badger has a bomb in its stomach
Honey badger is about to be turned into shit.
In retrospect honey badger should have gave a shit
“Oh, you puncturing my lungs with your teeth? HoW oRiGiNaL.”
It seemed like a good idea at the time
His eyes in the second pic be Like Oh shit what did I done do
Maybe it’s the angle, but that doesn’t look like the same lion.
Thought that too, left looks like a male lion, while right looks like a female.
Because the badger killed 7 other lions, the one on the right just got lucky
Not the same Badger either, one on the right looks smaller.
And even if it is, it's not like "excessive overconfidence" like Op called it. Lion pulls up on badger, badger can either fight back and hopefully scare off the lion, or can roll over and just die. It's called fight or flight for a reason, badger chose fight.
It doesn’t really matter either way, both the photos are real.
It looks like the picture on the right started with a photo of a badger standing in the ground, rotated it, and pasted it on top of a lion’s face.
Then they attack you, not from the front fffffwhip but from the sides. They cut you here, here, or maybe… here, disemboweling you, spilling your intestines.
Iv seen plenty of videos of honey Badgers getting out of that
Honey Badgers have thick rubber like skin, and can infact rotate and twist their body whilst in the jaws of something, so to give them a nasty attack with their razor sharp claws.
"Overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer."
"Mortality clarified in a single strike!"
Triumphant pride precipitates a dizzying fall.
I have been thinking about buying Darkest Dungeon 2 and this is clearly a sign to proceed. Never I’d have thought to find a cit to the first one here.
Except this time it was as slow and insidious as a treebranch smackdown crit in the first fight.
Came here just for the DD quote
The honey badger: "A time to perform beyond one's limits!"
"Are you my Uber? You're late, asshole. Now, pick me up and let's get going. I have a 2:30 appointment to kick a leopard's ass."
I love that "You're late" line
Why Honey Badgers Don't Fear God or Lions
I love that guy. He’s to the point, admits his mistakes and when he doesn’t know something. And teaches about nature the whole time in a fun and engaging way. One of the few good things to come out of tik tok (zefrank1 is also a really cool dude as well)
Best video to wake up to and watch
Omg funniest script ever. Metaphor heaven. Must see TV!
the thumbnail is op’s first photo too
I've watched so many hours of honey badger footage and thought i saw it all, this dude is amazing thanks for sharing!
Honey badgers have enough, really tough, skin for him to turn around and make that lioness regret that.
Well it's not like the honey badger can outrun the cat, the best chance it has at survival is making the lion think that a confrontation might not be worth it.
I like how nature was like yeah let's have this bear in the same area as tigers so they turn aggressive as fuck...nice now make it extra cute and derpy looking

Nope you’re exactly right!
Also worth noting their senses are total dogshit, so avoiding potential threats and predators is difficult for them. They aren't great runners either.
You underestimate how often the honey badger survives that…..
Yeah but they don't give a shit
honey badger survived after fighting the lions for 30 minutes.
I knew it!! Same photo on the right!
Sure, you can can warn him, but do you think he will listen?
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious quick and indiscriminate killer
I see many people writing this same line, is it from a movie, a book or just some famous quotes?
Not the same lion
Dude just screaming in the second pic... "Mooooom"
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
I doubt a honey badger could outrun a lion. Maybe he got into that position due to overconfidence, but really had no choice but to fight or at least make eating him not worth the trouble.
Meme template.
Cool pics. Shitty title.
New title: Overconfidence has consequences
Lets see how many comments are just "le honey badger killed the Lion" or "le honey badger is badass and Didnt die"
The honey badger looks still alive on the right. I like his chances
The honey badger
I hate seeing lions get brutally murdered.
We should ask the badgers to be more merciful, lions are going extinct!
Those are not even the same lion
not always overconfidence
Honey badger can move around in its own skin, that lion could’ve lost its eye within the next few seconds. Dangerous little buggers.
I mean, I don't think running would be much better
Badgers are awesome but people need to be realistic. Lions take down buffalos, crocodiles, hyenas, etc.
He did the calculations but damn is he bad at math
“Rarw!l turned to “ahhhh!!” Real quick
"LET ME GO SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS!"
Honey badger has him right where he wants him.
Perhaps Honey Badger should have given 1 shit
Badger got that lion right where he wants her….
You notice he still gives no fucks
Honey Badger: come at me bro.
thems two different lions
Honey badger is fine
So do they taste like honey
Badger was taken out. End of story.
Nah they just playing tag
This reminded me of that bank robber who inspired the dunning kruger effect study
Hang on, baby, this will only hurt for a second
Admirable.... yet mistaken
Looks like that Pikachu meme
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions
That cat got lucky it didnt get its face torn off
Honey badger: put me down bruh before I get mad
Pretty sure the badger was defending itself
Honey badger doesn’t give a fluck
He died bravely, as a true hufflepuff :')
Ahhh the honey badger, nature's crackhead
Is that edited?
color me surprised
(Picture on the right) Honey badgers like: come on man, I was just playin witchu
That's what the Badger wanted, time for phase 2.
I remember reading somewhere honeybadgers can still fuck a lion up by tiring it out
It's obvious that the second pic is photoshopped.
That’s also a baby badger
Oh honey badger, if I was your mother
New shocked Pikachu
An extremely dumb move to hold a still live honey badger near the face. That thing will claw your eyes out and the second you let it go will give you an extremely painful time. Be happy nature didn't give a larger animal this guy's temper.
In the past there were actually mustelids the size of leopards or jaguars that could have been just as ferocious
Tbf that lion likely isn't going to even be able to eat the honeybadger due to the hide
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
Ricardo will still bounce back and win monza again.
That is still no proof that the honey badger isn't invincible
Scariest fucking enemy in far cry 5... Was the honey badger. And apparently those little fuckers are hyper aggressive irl and will take on just about anything.
The white honey badger right?
It was at this moment he knew he fucked up
Im not sure that the lion carrying the honey badger necessarily means that the badger didn't make it out of the situation
No, the Honey Badger is just ride sharing to his Lion-Buffett
i’d like to argue that excessive overconfidence can be beneficial in many cases in the wild, if you do it right.
[удалено]
He ain't dead
All of that, for a drop of blood.
Shocked pikachu face.
I've watched honey badgers take on a pride of lions—if anything I'd call that lion brave lmao
As what Count Dooku would say, "Brave, but foolish"
Honey badger still don’t give a shit.
10 points to Griffindor. -10 points to Hufflepuff
Badger
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
Confidence is a slow and insidious killer
Honey badgers routinely 1 v lion pack and live.
Yep. That's me. You're probably wondering how I got in this situation....
Just because you aren't afraid doesn't mean there's nothing to be afraid of.
He can break those cuffs
I DIDNT HEAR NO BELL
Honey badger don't give a fuck
Ever heard the story of the trojan horse? Lion bringing that trap back to his pack
Of course today is the day I choose to wear my honeybadger socks.
Ah, the dunning-Kruger badger.
That badger must be Russian!
Putin? Putin? Putin?
Eh. It’s a honey badger. It’ll die before it cares.
“Honey Badger doesn’t give a shit, ew gross”!
I feel attacked.
This is still part of the honey badgers plan
(In Ron Howard’s narrating voice from Arrested Development) And yes, the honey Badger truly did not care.
He's still screaming
Yet the honey badger still don't give no fucks
Animals have a concept of overconfidence and underestimates other animals? I think it's more of it their defensive mechanism.
Honey badgers are cute as hell, it'd be awesome if you could have one as a guard pet
Honey badgers aren't confident, they just can't see shit and try to look angry.
Overconfidence is called arrogance and I have zero sympathy for arrogance
badger high on coke as usual
I've heard that honey badger is aggressive with everyone because it gives it a better chance to survive. He's not a good runner, he doesn't have good a good sight, so its biggest weapon is to being aggressive in order to surprise the predators.

Daniel Ricciardo saying he can beat Lewis Hamilton in the same car but getting smoked by young Lando Norris on the regular.
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
this looks very photoshopped
Honey badger: shocked Pikachu face
LE RATEL
That's a juvenile badger. Adult one lion won't be that close.
That Honeybadger hasn't lost, I doubt he's even badly injured.
Honey badger still gives zero fucks.
Daniel Ricciardo is having a rough day it seems.
“Honey badger dong give a shiiiiiiiiiii OW FUCK FUCK OW SHIT FUCK!”
Honey badger about to get devoured but he's still talking shit "Fuck yo circle of life, and fuck lion king ! I was rooting for scar !!"
holy shit, badgers face in the right picture is LEGITIMATELY shocked pikachu its like almost identical
Look at the lower canines of the badger. Adult ones have upto an inch long. The ones in this Pic is just developing which clearly shows its a juvenile.
Ah, the classic Trojan Honey Badger, where he gets carried back to the family den so he can open up a bigger can of whoop ass.
It's still the smartest idea for the honey badger to face the lion head on. If it runs, it's surely dead. If it's persistent enough, the lion may back down.
Second pic: "I thought this was America!"
You can become a snack…
That's what you think. The lion was later found dead with a huge hole in its stomach.
Honey badger: consequences to my actions? Preposterous
Honey badger is one move away from winning.
the fuck away from me twerp
Why does the lioness look so sad in her after photo 😔
Badger is a crisis actor
Honey badger don’t give a shit- oh like at him inside that lions mouth- disgusting
Ah to be a mustelid and full of rage
Honey badger just doesn’t give a shit.
Honey badger is actually probably fine. They can rotate inside their skin and looks like the lion only has some back scruff. Betcha lion gets bit and ditches honey badger. Honey badger don’t care.
U guys are underestimating the honey badger boys..
This is an awesome meme template…
FUCK!!!!!! Rest in peace brother....
Honey Badgers have super loose skin on their necks the lion is in for a nasty suprise
Poor Bunga...
Honey badger is lulling the lioness into a false sense of security. At the opportune moment, honey badger will attack the whole pride.
