Stoffel is now 25 years old. A honebadger lives for around 24yrs so you may think he's a fragile old man on his deathbed. But it's Stoffel, he can escape death. And also he has a son, Stompy, to carry his legacy forward.

The absolute coolest thing I ever learned is that when baby Cheetahs are 1st born they have evolved to mimic the look of a Honey Badger. This is because the Mum is forced to leave them alone while she hunts for food. So the babies have a silver strip down their backs so that predators mistake them for H.B's and stay far, far away! Ain't nature the coolest shit ever!...lol...

Yeah, it almost seems like nature is somehow intelligent

These are scary-ass animals. They're tough as hell and smart as hell. Their skin is so flexible, it's almost impossible for other animals to bite vital organs. They have glands that produce a horrible smell. Pretty much every animal on the savannah leaves them the hell alone. It's been hypothesized that baby cheetahs' ridge of light-colored hair on top of darker hair is Batesian mimicry. From a distance, they look like honey badgers and predators are like, "Ah, hell naw!"

Fun fact: Octopuses are known to use “tools” to aid them with avoiding predators. If the Octopus knows it’s going to an open area with little to know rocks/coral etc it knows it will be vulnerable and will bring an empty coconut shell with it to hide inside of like a portable shelter. This not only shows their ability to use tools, but proves they have foresight and actually think ahead about what they’re doing…crazy intelligent

Stoffel: I would have already gotten all the food and broken into their homes by now.

He was like " gimme something atleast challenging"

I didn't realize how large these animals were. This was the first video I could see a size comparison to people and objects.

Stoffel proved all of these things a long time ago...he even enlisted Hammie into his schemes...they're not only problem solving, adaptive & tool using smart, they're capable of pre-planning & coordinating behavior between individuals...if these critters ever evolve opposable thumbs, we could be in serious trouble...
