'When a honey badger is still young..his parents abandon him..' No wonder he acts like a disfynctional psychopathic teenager for the rest of his life then..

FYI, all the animals in this clip are paid actors

I love how they actually set all this up. Everything is in a fenced location obviously. From the juvenile honey badger. To the warthog in the hole. The hyena. Fake bird. And slapped together bee hive. All trained/fake. Ahhh truly inspirational vintage films. lol

I'm amazed about such a bird's existence

'When a honey badger is quite young, his parents abandon him, and he has to find his own food, and also undergo 4 years of grueling training in the honey badger warrior monk dojo, where they master groin chomping, eye gouging, python disemboweling, and other core disciplines of pure badassery'.

sometimes I regret not being a honeybadger

Honey badger is the drunken kung fu master of the animal kingdom

Warthog: I'LL END YOU!! honey badger: chill im just hungry

So the honeybadger is Perseus and the honey-bird is Bubo; wonderful relationship.

1:44 honey badger's deep instinct tells him to go for the hyena's balls.

It's from a documentary called "Animals are Beautiful People" I remember it being very fun, about 25 years ago.

that was an eventful afternoon for the young honey badger lol he must've slept well that night.

The Hyena didn't necessarily back down, they both cautiously sized each other up and respectfully went their separate ways. If there is one animal out there who could deal with a Badger it's a Hyena and that awesome bite force that comes with it. They both come from the same family though so the toughness is mutual.

Some cultures have pretty intense initiations to enter adulthood. I think the Honey Badger takes the cake though. Your parents just abandon you, and you fend for yourself by tussling with a warthog, chasing off a giant heyena, then covering yourself in thousands of stinging bees....And that's how dinner goes. Still they don't have to worry about marriage so I guess we win.

When a Hyena backs down from a small animal like that, it means the Honey Badger is the real deal.

Apparently Honey Badgers stay with their mother for two years

Now I understand why honey honey badgers🦡 are so badass animals... because their parents abandoned them when they are still young..

I thought that nothing can scares a Honey Badger but the Warthog can!!!

1:52 honey badger doing what hyenas, do attack from the rear and bite their privates. hyena doesn't need this and runs off.

I first thought the honey badger went for the birds nest, but then I realized it was out for honey, great teamwork between bird and badger, thanks for uploading

Poor baby. It just hungry. Smart bird. Helping together with the badger.

The honey badger is such a fearless sucker.

wow, did you see that warthog come out from under the ground, like a torpedo...

Well we found the honey badger tamer.. The wart hog.. Amazing!

I love how the badger gets knocked around by a warthog and doesnt even care

My favorite nature short-film of all time :)

So it's from this team work that tribal men in africa learned to use this bird.That's incredible,we learn a lot from animals,and we have a lot to learn from them yet.

I’ve seen similar in the Everglades where a large bird would fly over an lurking alligator and make a sound which had to be in bird talk “ALLIGATOR!!!”

Video is as old as Mother Earth..

this is the craziest vid I've seen in ah while, didnt kno animals team up like this, smart ass bird I swear

I love recommendations sometimes This is what I want to see

haha, the stuffed bird made my day.

I got to appreciate and respect this unique creature on earth. I would believe this animal could survive under any circumstances on the planet.

獲物に夢中になってひっくり返ったり転げ落ちたり、動きが若干鈍臭くて可愛いな

Warthog" I'll show im just as tough as you honey badger" 😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😭

Wow nature is just too incredible.

Nice editing. Cut off too soon.

The narrator here is the same one who did the mock-narration in the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. It really takes me back.

Love the fake flying birds...lol

That was something how the badger left it a portion, pretty smart actually.

I'm surprised not more sports teams are named "The Honey Badgers".

this is better than a children's story haha i love it

that fake bird they annoyed the honeybadger with was so badly made its hilarious.

Right off the bat it says the mother will abandon its young. Honey badgers stay with their young until the young out grow the adult which can take up to two years, just say'n...

That bird has a name.

the bird and the honey badger team work for the food is amazing.

Batman of animal kingdom. Absolutely no fucks

Omg the bird is so cute 🤹‍♂️♥️

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.

Awwh.i wish this video was longer..honey badgers are awesomely cool

these badgers are vicious if you piss them off but what an awesome creature ✌👍

I hope you all know this was staged, from the paper bird to the friendly hyena. The only true part was the badger getting stung.

This is just amazing.

Honey Badger rocks! All shocks!

Sounds like "Leave It To Beaver" music and voice over ...

i dont know why.. i love the backsound and the reporter sound .. 🧡😁

Didn’t I see this film when I was in the 3rd grade in 1963?

my favoritest animal on earth ♡

most interesting video I saw today.

this honey badger is funny, he doesn't seem to be as hard as the other ones i've seen lol

The guys voice sounds like someone from the 1950's

The badger doesn't wanna eat the cameraman cuz he wanna send a message to the world :" I don't give a fuck!"

Well that explains a lot. I didn't know Badger moms just ditch them as little ones. Like people who's mom abandon or abuse them they turn into a psychopath and try eat anything that moves face.

Wonderful!

interesting video, would love to see the end

I have seen other documentaries where they say that honeybadger stay with their parents until ready to fend.themself almost adulthood

I remember watching this too long time ago.cool.

is so mad but, is a genius :D

Why so cute?! 😁☺️

Wow how a bird help honey badger to give him honey❤️

Honey Badgers 🦡 are the BEST.

0:55-Thought they feared nothing

wow amazing team work between bird and honeybadger

Warthog scares honey badger 😂

Honey badger is a total gangster

Lovely old documentary or the story from that guy behind this video.

Wow! those are killer bees!

Honeybadger acting like true addict.

Love it 💖

Good !

Honey badger is the most funny animal

What a difference 10 years makes, honey badgers are not abandoned by their parents while to young to understand how to hunt, but instead stay with their mothers for a significant amount of time(even for mammals).... p.s honey badgers are bmf'ers!!

wow amazing team work

That wild boar almost got him 😂

It should be written in the title that this is all fake so no confusion gets spread around. It's an old wives tale that the bird leads the Honey Badger to bee hives , there's no known footage of it ever happening unless it's on movie sets like this one with fake birds on strings lol.

it does...animals are far more honest about these things than humans

And those are African Bees!

OMG! I know that bird.

Good job honey badger

lol smart bird that attitude is really win

Honey badgers stay with their parents until 2 years old.

There is actually a bird species that lures bears and badgers to beehives, and it gets the beeswax as its share..

WTF did I learn today.. this is incredible..

well that sucks his nose is not protected from bee stings seeing its right out there for the bees to get...

I hope that bird will be my teammate in my final project

book: "The Fallacy, Fact, and Fate of Guiding Behavior in the Greater Honeyguide"

In some shots the bird looked like a fucking puppet

Some shows manipulate the footage a little. They try to make it exiting to watch. They sometimes use tamed animals. Or fake attributes, like the bird at 1:12. It still happens today. Last december, there was an incident in the UK. The BBC filmed a tarantula in a studio for a Human Planet documentary on wildlife in a Venezuelan jungle. And some of the scenes in a Frozen Planet episode about polar bears giving birth in the wild were in fact spliced-in footage from a zoo.

mr badger always busy 😆😆😆😆

Honey badger doesn't give a shit Death is just Death
