The video recording the above moment was shot at Etosha National Reserve (Namibia). The opening scene is a scene where an adult male lion is resting in the meadow when he accidentally discovers one honey badger from far away.
When the lion got very close, the honey badger was startled to realize it. However, it did not panic and ran away, but suddenly became extremely aggressive and reckless.
Badger with tail, opened his mouth full of teeth at the lion to show his prestige, making even the “king of the grasslands” have to respect. At this point, the honey badger slowly ran away, but was always ready to turn back to defend himself when the lion approached too close.
After a while of chasing, the lion seemed to realize that he couldn’t fight ferocious badgerit didn’t seem to have any intention of taking down its prey either, so it decided to give up.
