PBS has a show on mustelids on. They just showed honey badgers using tools and solving puzzle boxes. One honey badger dug rocks, carried them to a corner of its pen and stacked them to climb out on. The same honey badger, after they removed all the rocks, made mud balls by rolling wet dirt and stacked them in the corner to climb out on.

I had no idea they were that smart.

Watching that show now. Very interesting-cool stuff.

Honey badgers don’t care!

I don't know how many times I've watched that video. Those animals are simply amazing.

Pretty cool show

I have always been a fan of honey badgers. Pound for pound , meanest , toughest animal on the planet.

Check out the one on YouTube it’s a hoot.

I've got a neighbor that is always in a bad mood. I mean we all get along just seems like never happy. I was gonna get one and put it in his mailbox to brighten his day up. He pulls up to his box and gets his mail through his open window.

Indeed it is.

What the heck is a honey badger ?

Done this with a possum a time or two.

I've always thought badgers were smarter than they let on. I used to catch a lot of them out on the prairie up in Wy. Cut almost all of them loose for quite a few years. Had a couple instances where I drive up to a badger standing standing in a trap, and no circle, no digging, no crater! I think, whats going on here! Get out of the truck, and the badger holds up his paw with the trap on, as if to show me why he is there. Gget my catch pole out, no resistance at all. I believe they had been through the drill before and were just waiting to get released! They are not as stupid as they act! Now before someone points out that the thread is about honey badgers, I just wanted to point out my experience with them.

We call our daughter the honey badger, smart, tough and don't give a ....

Sweet kid till you tee her off, She's a private school teacher in Texas now, those folks are clueless with what they got, lol...
