Not really a fair fight considering the Honey Badger has four paws/claws and can walk while a snake is practically limbless and only has fang's to attack..
Guard dog? How about a freaking Guard Badger...! "Beware of Badger" might have them laughing enough to walk in...only to get ravaged by the most badass mammal around...
Are they immune to poison or something? Seems like the snakes don't even attempt to strike it...maybe they know it's ineffective?
An older video with the same footage indicates that the Puff Adder does bite him, and the bite does have an effect. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c81bcjyfn6U&hl=en_US&fs=1&start=146"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c81bcjyfn6U&hl=en_US&fs=1&start=146" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Until you watch the youtube clip where a cobra bites 2 lion cubs and kills them, then bits its mother and she dies a while later...
That's crazy. He gets knocked out for 2 hours then gets right back up and finishes eating the snake. And the next day, he's attacking a king cobra in the top of a tree.
Check out the new narration (some NSFW language): <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4r7wHMg5Yjg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

"Honey Badger don't give a s###" Has anyone ever heard of a Sugar Shark? What about a Blueberry Pie Cougar? Or (the exxxtinct) Creme Brulet Velociraptor?
