    Record books describe the honey badger as the most fearless animal on the planet. Although barely a foot tall, they have a reputation for attacking just about anything - from venomous snakes to full-grown lions.
    In South Africa, an eager scientist, a tenacious beekeeper and a patient conservationist all have a soft spot for these so called 'bad boys' of the animal kingdom, and each of them wants to discover if the honey badger's bite really is as big as its hype.

      It's to ensure that everybody knows that the entire zoo is his territory. Both all the other creatures and also the zookeepers. He wants them to know that he's not locked up in there with everyone else. They're locked up in there with him. But he can leave at any time he wants. And they can literally do nothing to stop it. But that's the reason Why he stays is because he likes it there. He gets food, he gets good treatment. He gets a place all to himself. And no matter how hard they try to stop them from leaving the basically has free rain

    • @umbrellashotgunman
      @umbrellashotgunman 3 года назад +534

      According to the full documentary this is from, Stoffel was raised by farmers and refuses to leave the vicinity of human habitation even when he does escape (hence why they're able to catch him again in the first place); they lock him up mostly because he has a bad habit of trying to kill the other animals that are actually intended to be sent back to the wild (in fact, Stoffel originally had *two* female honey badger companions; those two were eventually returned to the wild, but Stoffel simply refused to leave).

All I can say is that I was there, I live in South Africa, and that is what the keeper told us when he was giving us a talk about Stoffel and his antics. One thing that I did see was that the keeper and Stoffel were very close and had a great relationship. Stoffel is quite a character.

      Undecided Earth why call someone an idiot? This is arrogant and not nice.
      It does seem like abuse, if they are forcing the badger to stay when it doesn't want to.
      That would make Fuert Neigt right. But if the badger can't live in the wilderness, forcing the badger might be justified. That makes you right, but it doesn't make Fuert wrong, because they are still keeping the badger against his will.
      If in the documentary the badger doesn't leave after he escapes and does it just for fun, then you'd be right. But why be so angry and arrogant? Especially about someone defending the right cause? Because I too think that abuse is bad, don't you?
      My point is: everything has many aspects to it and no one is an idiot, when it's about exchanging information and not about defending your ego.

      You haven’t seen the first part of this documentary, and that’s fair
      Most of the time when he broke out, it was to go kill other animals helpless in their pens overnight, even to the point of attacking an alpha lion (and winning), before being mauled on his second attempt on the lions (as is being mentioned right at the start), hence this little escape sequence

      He’s there because he’s non-releasable. If he could have been released, he would have been 20 years ago.
