Is hufflepuff awesome?
Yes. Many people believe Hufflepuff to be all the leftovers - people who didn't have the traits of a Gryffindor (courage), Ravenclaw (intelligence), or Slytherin (cunning). What people don't realize is that Hufflepuff is the house for those who are loyal and determined. while a Gryffindor would be more likely to stand up for what they believe in, where (although they're true to what they believe in), wouldn't be as likely to stand up for it. Also, people tend to make fun of Hufflepuff because of their mascot: the badger. Gryffindor's got a lion - all around awesome, brave, and powerful. Ravenclaw's got the raven - one of the smartest bird's around. And Slytherin's got the snake - sneaky and deadly. All people think when they see a badger is "D'awww, that's cuuute!" But have you heard of the Honey Badger? These things will kill and eat anything they come across. I once saw a video where a honey badger stole prey right out of a puff-adder's (very venomous snake) mouth, and ate it right in front of him. But the badger wasn't done - he proceeded to chomp down on the snake. Sadly the snake was able to get a few bites in, and the badger collapsed from the deadly venom... only to wake up a little while later and continue eating the snake. That, I would say, is awesome.
What is a common behavior of the Honey Badger?
The honey badger is found in arid grasslands and savannahs. Honey badgers are fierce carnivores with a keen sense of smell. They are known for their snake-killing abilities; they use their jaws to grab a snake behind its head and kill it. Honey badgers can devour a snake (150 cm/5ft or less) in 15 minutes.Badgers have a large appetite for beehives. Commercial honey producers do not take kindly to this destruction and sometimes shoot, trap, or poison badgers they suspect of damaging their hives, although badger-proof commercial bee hives have been developed.A bird, the honeyguide, has a habit of leading badgers and other large mammals to bees' nests. When a badger breaks into the nest, the birds take their share. Other sources say that honeyguides are only known to guide humans; see Greater Honeyguide.The badger is among the fiercest hunters in its range, with prey including earthworms, insects, scorpions, porcupines, hares, ground squirrels, meerkats, mongooses, and larger prey such as tortoises, crocodiles up to one metre in size, young gazelle and snakes (including pythons and venomous species). They also take lizards, small rodents, birds and fruit. The badger's ferocious reputation reflects its tendency to attack animals larger than itself; it is seldom preyed upon.

well if you are asking which has more physical strength then it would be the Wolverine. with the males being 30% larger then the females, the average size male Wolverine ranges around 22-55lbs and can grow up to 70lbs. while male Honey Badger being twice the size of the females, the average male Honey Badger gets around 19-30lbs. now feats of strength i would say the Wolverine still would come out on top. though i dont want to have to type up all the stories of their feats of strength, it is so easy to look up so you should be able to see for your self.Honey Badgers are the most fearless animals so the Badger would win So a wolverine would be more of a wimp , Winner : Honey Badger , End of Story.....Hold on,That is NOT END OF STORY.The Honey Badger and the Wolverine,are of the family MUSTELIDAE,subfamily Mustelinae.

Usually a person is going through an area and does not see the snake and get too close, sometimes even stepping on the snake. The snake feels threatened and bites in defense. Sometimes people intentionally harass or try to catch or kill the snake, provoking it to bite.
