A video of brave honey badger, who fought three leopards and walked alive, has been doing rounds on the internet, receiving praise all over.
In the clip, a leopard mother and her two good-sized cubs can be seen ganging up and attacking a lone honey badger. But the tables turn when the badger starts fighting back for its life against the leopards. The big cats can be seen biting and choking the badger as they attack, but the outnumbered animal takes a lot of blows and fights back, driving the leopards away one by one. The video ends with the honey badger walking away alive, with the predators staring at it.

.. hearty, durable as well and quick healers, fascinating animals. My guess is this badger might have been protecting a nest or young.
It's like the chihuahua of the wild
