\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>Okay, now that we have all been reacquainted with this majestic and incredibly stubborn animal, let’s drop some new knowledge on you. We are going to discover 6 crazy things that you didn’t know about the Honey Badger so hold onto your seats because this is going to be fun.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. An Arrow Will Not Pierce the Skin of a Honey Badger<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-with-Tough-Skin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10257\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-with-Tough-Skin-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Badger with Tough Skin\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-with-Tough-Skin-1024x819.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-with-Tough-Skin-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-with-Tough-Skin-370x297.jpg 370w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-with-Tough-Skin.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you read that right. If you are ever attacked by a honey badger and all you have to defend yourself is a bow and arrow then you are in big trouble, my friend. \u00a0Unless you are <a href=\"http:\/\/dc.wikia.com\/wiki\/Green_Arrow_%28Oliver_Queen%29\" target=\"_blank\">Oliver Queen<\/a>, then you might stand a chance. Along with incredibly coarse hair, the Honey Badger has ridiculously\u00a0tough, rubbery\u00a0skin that acts like a kevlar vest.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is their skin impenetrable but it is also very loose. How does this help them in any way? Well, if something does try to grab them, the loose skin gives them the flexibility to spin around and wiggle into a better fighting position.<\/p>\n<p>These animals have evolved into tough, predators that are practically untouchable.\u00a0It seems like an unfair advantage for anything that wants to challenge this creature, doesn’t it? Probably why it walks around without any fear.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>2. A Honey Badger’s Jaw Will Not Dislocate<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-and-the-Strong-Jaw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10258\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-and-the-Strong-Jaw.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Badger and the Strong Jaw\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-and-the-Strong-Jaw.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-and-the-Strong-Jaw-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The muscles of the Honey Badger’s jaw are arranged in a way that make it pretty much impossible to dislocate.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean?<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, it means that if they bite down on something, they will never need to let go. No matter how violently you try to get the Honey Badger to release, it won’t happen. Unfortunately, for the Badger, in order to get this unbelievable jaw strength, they had to sacrifice their jaw mobility. As such, they can only move their jaw up, down, left and right – there are no in-between directions that they can shift their chompers.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>3. Honey Badgers are Friends with Honey Trackers<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Eating-Honey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10260\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Eating-Honey.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Badger Eating Honey\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Eating-Honey.jpg 700w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Eating-Honey-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Okay, maybe they are not friends but the Honey Tracker, a type of bird, will guide the Honey Badger to a tasty beehive. The bird will then wait for the Honey Badger to do its thing and destroy the beehive and chase away all the bees.<\/p>\n<p>Now this intelligent bird will swoop in and share the\u00a0tasty honey and left over larva, once the fierce predator has had its fill. This is a win-win situation as the Honey Badger probably wouldn’t have found the beehive without the guidance from the Honey Tracker and there is no way the bird would have been able to take the hive down.<\/p>\n<p>You have to love it when different species work together.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>4. Honey Badgers\u00a0Can Bury Themselves in Minutes<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10261\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Digging.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Badger Digging\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Digging.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Digging-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the large paws and brute strength, it should come as no surprise that within minutes, the Honey Badger can dig a hole large enough to hide themselves. This is a great strategy to get away from any un-welcomed guests. Hey, even the fearless Honey Badger will want to escape a dangerous situation every now and again.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>5. Honey Badgers are Dirty Fighters<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10262\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Badger\" width=\"500\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger.jpg 700w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-300x135.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We will end the list playing right into the Honey Badger stereotype. These guys are fearless and simply don’t follow the rules of nature. These vicious animals have been known to attack the…ummm…family jewels of other animals.<\/p>\n<p>After they go against the bro code and hit them below the belt, they simply wait for the prey to weaken and will usually go in for the kill. Remind me to never get in a fight with one of these deadly beasts.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>The Honey Badger is an Onion<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Facts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10270\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Facts.jpg\" alt=\"Honey Badger Facts\" width=\"500\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Facts.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Facts-300x242.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Facts-370x297.jpg 370w, http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Honey-Badger-Facts-235x190.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the Donkey from Shrek would say, the Honey Badger is like an onion.
