Mankind.

It is a common belief that the Honey badger is one of the most fiercest animals on earth. Although they are relatively small and look quite harmless, they have a reputation of being a fearless beast.

They are found in the Kalahari desert and have a very keen sense of smell. They are well known for their snake killing abilities, as they will grab a snake from behind in their powerful jaws, killing it almost instantly. The honey badger can devour an entire snake of about 5 feet long in less than 15 minutes! They will even eat dangerous and venomous snakes. Sometimes if the honey badger is bitten, they will become paralysed and severely swollen for several hours, but after this period has pasted the badger will continue hunting the snake as if it never happened. The honey badger will gladly steal the snakes kill, eat it for itself and then continue to hunt the snake.

Honey badger get their name and reputation partly from their love of honey, but mostly for their ravaging attacks on bee hives. There have been cases of honey badgers being stung to death within the hives while trying to eat the honey. Yet the honey badger is not detoured and will rip apart a hive without a second thought for the singing bees.

There have even been reported incidents of Killer Badgers in the Basra province of Iraq. It was said that badgers were attacking both people and livestock, killing savagely, but this killer badger has since been identified as a honey badger and the incidents were inflated by rumour, stemming from the people fear of the vicious creature. == The wolverine has been observed driving an adult male grizzly bear (a subspecies of the brown bear) off a kill. The wolverine in question was about the size of a dog, and it weighed about 60 pounds. The bear weighed well in excess of a thousand pounds, and was probably close to 1400 pounds in weight. Bears have killed wolverines in confrontations, but it isn't because the wolverine won't pick a fight. This may not be an example of viciousness, but it says something about the temperament of the wolverine. The fierceness it displayed in this direct confrontation is difficult to match. This solitary creature is broadly know to have a very bad temper and be most aggressive. _____________________ Badgers, wolverines and all creatures labelled vicious - usually because they're a nuisance to mankind - do what they do in order to survive, gather food and raise their young. Not being a believer in anthropomorphism, I can't concur with the notion that animals other than humans have, as a species, a "bad temper" or a "vicious nature". Domestic animals can be nervous and inclined to react aggressively to other creatures, but this is generally down to poor housing, training and mistreatment by humans. The only creatures I know that routinely displays bad temper, deliberate cruelty, wanton viciousness and lack of self-control is humans. _____________________
