Honey badger is bad ass." Those words and a corresponding video became a YouTube sensation with over 51 million hits. This relentless little creature is one of the most fearless animals in the world, renowned for its readiness to confront grown lions and terrify rhinos, and its ability to shrug off the toxic defenses of stinging bees, scorpions, and snakes. Little is known about its behavior in the wild or why it is so aggressive. Badger specialists in South Africa take on these masters of mayhem in ways that must be seen to be believed. They set out to study them, to stymie them, to rescue them, or to keep them as pets, but in the end, it's the honey badgers that always seem to come out on top because honey badgers never give up, never give in. As one of their admirers puts it, "The honey badger is so brave and so courageous and so determined that you can't help but love him!

This mammal is tough!
Highly amusing documentary about the wily, intelligent, and intimidating honey badger. This critter is fearless, it seems. It bosses every creature unfortunate enough to encounter it, and can outwit nearly every trap or confined zone. My grandsons, aged 6 and 8, could not believe what this “souped-up weasel” can accomplish. Watch this and be amazed! Terrific film for middle grade and up classrooms, and I speak from experience. Can spark some questions and conversation.

Stoffel
Stoffel steals the show. Wreaks havoc with the other wildlife at the sanctuary which is not pleasant but keep in mind he is wild. And apparently a problem solver. Also, very nice footage with other badgers. Highly recommend.

I Love Honey Badger
Never had any dull moments with an animal with the size of a cat. The night scene dominates this documentary.

One of the best wildlife documentaries I've ever watched
One of the best wildlife documentaries I've ever watched. We've watched this one several times now, and it's always just as good as the first time.

Excellent Documentary, Stoffel is a Legend
Story: Even in the wild, few animals are buck wild as the honey badgers, one of the craziest creatures on the plant and one of the internet’s favorite troublemakers. The honey badgers aren’t the largest or most intimidating presence in their areas, but they are fearless and will not hesitate to target much larger animals. This can be lions, elephants, rhinos, or whoever else happens to get on their bad side and with these lunatics, it doesn’t take much to make them mad. This documentary explores the honey badgers’ unique lifestyle and focuses on one specific animal, the notorious Stoffel, who is wild even by honey badger standards.Entertainment Value: I loved this episode of Nature, as the honey badgers are such an interesting subject to follow and of course, the magic of Stoffel makes this an instant classic. A good portion of the episode is dedicated to Stoffel, a honey badger that has been captivity for most of his life, though that doesn’t stop him from escaping and causing chaos whenever possible. The stories alone about Stoffel make this a wildly entertaining documentary, but seeing him in action is so much better. He is so smart and persistent that he and his mate Hammie are tasked to test out methods to protect bee hives from wild honey badgers, a mission the two prove over and over to be more than qualified to complete. There is also a good deal of footage of wild honey badgers and an exploration of their antics and behavioral patterns, but for me, Stoffel steals the show and without question, Masters of Mayhem is highly recommended.
