Classic Badger Fan Boy tactics, slag off the oppostion.

To be fair, can you blame them? When the opposition's tactic is to literally RIG the vote and cheat the win?

- Despite being smaller than your hand, it commands a territory of about 28 ACRES. In fact, put a group of these mice in an enclosed space and there is a BLOODBATH - they fight until there is only one left.

It doesnt command a territory, other animals dont vacate those 28 acres, just other mice give them room.

the fact that some psychotic researchers did an experiment where they kept putting 2 grasshopper mice of the same sex in a small box, to discover the highly amazing news that territorial animals will fight and that the fight has grave consequences when there is no option for one of them to run off does not make the mice hard, just antisocial. Fortunately they stopped at this research so no-one has checked the outcome for higher numbers of mice.

Who the hell is cheating, you supported the mouse up until this round.

The Mouse is hard and you well know it, it ticks all the boxes. Not to say the HB doesnt, but the constant slagging off from the HB fan boys is boring, Only one person presenting the argument, the rest just slagging off the Mouse.

- After making a kill, they stand on their back legs and HOWL. A great big GET-OFF-MY-LAND death-shriek.

They squeek. Sure a long and loud squeek. And the squeeking is a regular part of their behaviour to let other mice know they are about (territorial). It is witnessed after hunting because they sneak up on their prey so before hunting would be pretty stupid.

That's just plain lies, they are very territorial animals. AWFUL dishonest tactics.

"Grasshopper mice are extremely aggressive predators, and are known to commit acts of cannibalism when threatened or in need of food. They are generally solitary animals and keep large territories to themselves, but they may live in male-female pairs. However, this live-in relationship tends to end badly—one of the two partners inevitably kills the other."

I'm not referring specifically to this round. You know full well that the odds are constantly stacked MASSIVELY against the HB throughout tournaments. People will vote for all sorts of nonsense to try to knock it out.

Respect to the mouse.

Not slagging it off, just challenging your assertions on its behalf. It appears WHC like our judicial system is of an adversarial nature,

- These mice live in burrows which have been abandoned by its original owner, or which they invade and overtake by force. BEASTMODE

yes they live in small mouse sized burrows, which in the hardest scenario they scared some other species of mouse out of.

All this shitchat from the Honey Badger...

But... WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE HONEY BADGER DO?

From what the Fan Boys put forward, chase off a lion a little bit, doesnt kill, doesnt kick people out of bed, doesnt **** its bitch then eat her just because he is pissed off. seriously what does it do.

Not slagging it off, then you produce a sentence which is slagging it off?

For what it's worth, the creatures it often chases out of those holes are Kangaroo Rats (5 times heavier than the Grasshopper Mouse) or Prairie dogs - weighing in at around 35 TIMES the mass of the mouse, 2-3 times the size.

BBC did a great little documentary recently….



Watch for a couple of minutes from 25:45.

Amazing. Not only took on lions once, but did it again, got a mauling for its trouble AND still survived. Know they can get badly hurt but still go for it. Hard.
