Good to see human come a strong third in this group - the best we as a species have done in this competition? Can't remember humans qualifying before. I admit to having had my mind changed by this thread - and I now believe that the humble human is worth a shot in round 2 by virtue of the fact...

:lolol: Don't worry... I've saved some of the truly heavy hitting facts for when our plucky friend needs them. Plus haven't tagged in Mellotron yet!

I get the point you're making. It's more dangerous for a human, which makes any human who does that by definition 'harder'. The same with fighting bears. But I reckon the logic fails because only a tiny proportion of humans do that (wheras all HBs do), and that of those humans that do, most...

It's not immune to Puff Adder venom either. It's still affected by it. But it's hard enough to not just survive, but to attack afterwards. Not exactly sure why you've brought up the Taipan yet anyway (well, I do have a suspicion) as it's not even in this group, and not pertinent to any point...

It's true. Evidenced in the historic oral traditions of West African tribes. Even if you choose not to believe that one thing - the rest still makes it the hardest animal in the world by a MILE.

A) No it wouldn’t. It would hide under a stick. B) The puff adder creates twice as much venom, of 5 times greater toxicity than the Inland Taipan. Fact. So… C) ...the Honey Badger could EASILY withstand a Taipan bite. QED.

Even the hardest human known to humanity (Adam El Abd, obviously) posesses only a fraction of the sheer agression, fearlessness and BATSHITMENTALNESS of the Honey Badger.

Honey Badger FACTS for anyone who might not be aware… - They have been known to pick fights with, and beat, animals multiple times their size. - They are impervious to the stings of KILLER bees - Video evidence of a fully grown LION waking up a Honey Badger. MISTAKE. It is so pissed off at...
