Small "maniac" of the animal world: honey badger attacks a large antelope

The story that happened next to the waterfall in Etosha National Park in Namibia seems to be utter madness. Why, it would seem, a little honey badger to attack such a large animal as the South African oryx, which also did nothing to him and did not even pay any attention to him. However, all questions disappear, you only need to find out that honey badgers are the most reckless madmen of the animal world: they can alone attack a whole flock of lions or pounce on a deadly poisonous snake. The animals are characterized by a quick temper, incredible courage, amazing vitality and very thick skin, immune to either the predator's teeth or porcupine needles, so they rarely lose.

So this time, the bad temper of the brawler did not allow him to pass by the harmless saber-horned antelope. He simply stood in her way and blocked the passage to the pond. At the same time, the fundamental difference in size did not bother him at all. But this, for a minute, is 16 kilograms against 240! The African Oryx, of course, was not afraid of the little bully and instantly launched its long horns. Picking up a honey badger by them, he threw it high into the air - according to people, about 5 meters away. Eyewitnesses were already afraid that the animal was dead, but he quickly got up, shook himself off and again rushed into battle!

After a while, the honey badger still realized the failure of the venture. Then, slightly battered, but undefeated, he continued on his way to the reservoir and drank plenty. What kind of fly stung him and what exactly caused the attack on the oryx, we will not know. However, when you watch these crazy creatures, it begins to seem that everyday fights are simply the meaning of their lives.
