Question: didn't she watch the original documentary where Stoffel made some mud balls, stacked them up on the corner of his enclosure, and climbed them to escape? The test they did here is pretty lame by comparison.

Well that documentary is obvious proof. Science cares when that same ability can be put to use in a controlled enviornment and not just be a fluke. Hence the food on air challenge. its something uniquely new to them and thus requires true innovative thought. Means that brain is thinking and imagining what to do. Also note that Stoffel escapes for the love of it. He never really actaully escapes the zoo. Its kinda obvious he's screwing around with his caretakers. They put a new obstacle and Stoffel is having a blast solving it. He escapes he gets caught they throw a new obstacle he finds a way.

Yeah, Stoffel proved that stoffel could do it. However it's hardly prove for what the species in general is capable of. Also it has been part of an iterative process, a new solution to a slightly tweaked known problem. Intelligence also needs to be tested by confronting specimens with entirely new issues, so experience doesn't factor into it.

Easy test for Stoffel. He pushed rocks to the wall of his enclosure to escape. When the rocks were removed he made a ball of hard mud to use instead. That's tool making.

Honey Badger, thy name know no fears. I never imagined honey Badgers to be this fearless when I heard their name first.

This is Stoffels son. Having said that, the tests need to be done with more honey badgers, as stoffels son could have inherited his intellect from his dad. (Meaning it could be an unusual level of problem solving ability compared to other honey badgers) This level of intellect might not be the same for all honey badgers.

Seriously people who see animals as our inferiors should consider the fact that most children wouldn't be able to figure this problem out yet a badger (whose temperment has sometimes been compared to a wolverine's) managed this problem pretty quickly.

Stoffel is like my dog bloody naughty

Their camouflage is my favourite. I often felt that the humans I was most likely to miss in traffic were those who had a sharp line and contrast indicating that they were two slabs of concrete. Or the differienting line between the house and the cellar. So mainly camouflage should not necessarily try and blend in. It should just look like something else than it is.

I have a ferret that pushes things against the barrier to their playroom to climb out. He also saw how the cat takes a running start to jump out so he now does that too. He learns and is always scheming.

I hope thay get to observe stoffel and family for many yrs .its good his in a free like environment as in the wild thay live only average 7yrs but in captivity known to live 30 yrs and as we know most species loves r shorter in captivity..such is the badgers harsh and dangerous environments lives are often short being less than 1000 left in the wild we need to learn what we can from this amazing and interesting and intelligent animal ..

Mother nature is so beautiful and majestic

I mean they listen to and created a mutual co-existence with the honey bird. the bird leads the badger to the nest, badger does the work and bird gets a food reward. it has to figure out how to reach a nest inside or hanging off things.

I guess, they have taken a look at a badger's brain.

@DajuOnYoutube

To be fair that's true for almost every animal in the wild that aren't swimming in all the food they could ever need. Which almost never happens because of nature's balance where access to food means that the population will grow until there's just enough food to support that populations needs unless they're ineffective at breeding or just ineffective at successfully surviving in general so their numbers decline faster than they replenish. Some might not seem like it because of how they evolved to survive like reptiles that just stop moving to preserve energy for as long as possible but nevertheless waiting for the next meal to show up.
