Life and death look down, if you don't submit, just do it! Guinness World Records once selected it as the world's most fearless animal - African flat-headed brother, how brave is it and does it have natural enemies?
"Africa is not chaotic, the flat head has the final say" - this is a popular saying in the animal world, which refers to the most fearless animal, the honey badger.
The little guy looks "flat", even a little dull, the hair on the body is mainly composed of black and white, the upper body is white, the lower body is black, and the black and white color matching on the forehead is like shaving a neat flat head, so it is called "flat head brother".
But don't be fooled by its dull appearance, if you mess with it, you're out of luck.
Either in a fight or on the way to a fight, so much so that no zoo in the world dares to keep honey badgers. He is not big, but he has a smart mind, but he is a tendon and a dead stick in his attitude towards dealing with problems.
The first is the fearsome poisonous snake, which in the eyes of the honey badger is just a delicious spicy strip and a moving belt. The honey badger does not say a word, it is a tear, no method, that is, it gnaws indiscriminately, what should I do if I am bitten by a snake? Not care! After a night's sleep, it is as if nothing happened, because honey badgers have an innate immunity to many snake venoms.
The porcupine is dangerous enough, even the lion leopard is far away from them, for fear of being pricked by its sharp thorns, but the honey badger also dares to attack, I don't know if it is stupid by snake venom.
Crocodiles also sometimes lie innocently with guns. The crocodile that is resting, the honey badger also went to harass, but the crocodile of several hundred pounds does not seem to be easy to mess with, and he was almost killed by accident, and he couldn't get by in his heart, so he could only take a small crocodile to discourage.
If you don't die, you will send it to death. Even the king of beasts, the lion, did not put it in his eyes, and actually dared to challenge the authority of the lion. Can you often walk by the river, where are the shoes that don't get wet? Such impulsive honey badgers are a minority, because this move may cost lives.
The honey badger itself has thick skin and rough flesh, coupled with its own hot temper, the lion does not need to take risks in order to eat this bit of meat, so it usually does not see the same as the honey badger, but if there is a flat-headed brother who comes to send it to death, the lion can only complete it.
Not only lions, but also leopards and hyenas can subdue it, after all, the size of the animal sometimes determines the outcome of the battle.
Walking on the ground, swimming in the water, Brother Pingtou has seen it, but in Africa, there is an animal flying in the sky, Brother Flathead is afraid of three points, it is the African eagle.
Eagles are very fond of hunting mammals, and as long as you grow up on milk, you may be captured by them. If you can't catch the big one, you will take the small one, so the young or sub-adult flat-headed brother, or even the female "flat-headed sister" will be taken away by it.
Therefore, although the flat-headed brother looks very beautiful on the surface, in fact, their life is not easy, lions, hyenas, and eagles can hunt them.
The real wisdom of honey badgers is that they will actively avoid large carnivores, only a few less intelligent honey badgers will brainlessly provoke, if they have to encounter, honey badgers will also fight for their lives, so it is well deserved to be selected by Guinness World Records as "the world's most fearless animal".
