***2013 Worlds Hardest Creature Competition- Semi Finals- Honey Badger vs Crocodile***

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I've gone croc. It just had to be done.

For some reason it's taken me this long in life to realise it's BASICALLY a living dinosaur. It's got a dinosaur name. It's got dinosaur skin and it's got those weedy dinosaur arms.

It's hard and it's cool. I'm going CROC.

Here is a honey badger doing what it does best, being cute:

And to make the feeble honeybadger fanboys feel better about this, here is a crocodile being cute:

 

[In The Rough]

I have swum in a river with a 12ft crocodile in the wild. In his territory. Right up to his front door.

I would need to drink Harveys dry before I considered walking up to the honey badger in his territory.

Therefore Honey Badger wins for me

For all of you fooled by the look of the croc, some quick research on wiki has these two choice phrases:

"Crocodiles are ambush hunters, waiting for fish or land animals to come close" - so not hard as they don't go out and find things to attack but wait until they are unsuspecting and taking a drink so basically preying on stupid or desperate animals

"crocodiles are archosaurs, which means they are genetically closer to birds" - how hard is that, a bird?

Add to that they are an endangered species so they won't be around many more of those 200 million years

I defy you to get within 100 yards of a Crocodile while holding your anti Crocodile device (rubber band) and see if it gives a shit.

Steve Irwin did it for years and was then taken out by a fish so he can't have been hard and he had all crocs in his pocket

Honey Badgers are the definition of hard. They ARE the essence of hardness.

Yet if you say this simple truth round here you get labelled a 'fanboy'.

Don't be dissuaded. Vote HB.

To repeat: they CASTRATE animals multiple times their size.

 

[MattBackHome]

They deliberately f*** ABOUT with swarms of KILLER bees.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I've made a mistake voting Croc haven't I?

I fell for the dinosaur picture.

 

[MattBackHome]

They go so MENTAL that they can scare off an entire PRIDE of lions. Especially when awoken from a nice nap.

 

[MattBackHome]

To a Honey Badger, a King Cobra is like a warm PEPPERAMI; it could potentially be lethal, yet is worth KILLING just for the taste of venomous meat.

 

[Bladders]

Well I've seen lots of pics of women and children stroking and cuddling the HB.

Not seen anyone petting a croc yet.

I've been waiting for you to join the fray.

HB's aren't the definition of hardness. At most they're a good example of a tough little bugger up for a fight. Being hard is so much more than just a willingness to fight. Being hard is fighting, doling out the beatings and when its time taking one too. It's about being able to suffer and endure things that would make most run off crying, or in nature, die.

The crocodile does all of these things. The Honey badger does to an extent but just can't match the croc.

The croc is the pinnacle of animal evolution. The croc has the strength-in real and comparative terms. The croc can survive and kill with missing limbs. The honey badger can't. The croc has outlived the dinosaurs. The honey badger hasn't.

And the castration thing is a MYTH. There is absolutely no documented evidence of the Honey badger ever having castrated an animal. It's a desperate myth put out there by desperate fanboys and does your cause no favours.

It's IMMUNE to the venom. So, in essence its no harder than a robin eating a worm.

HARD.

Warily touching it's tail, such that the croc barely notices. Brilliant.

[Giraffe]

I still can't believe the damn badger has got this far. Weird.

Croc all the way for me.

Even though undoubtedly a guide or keeper has told her this is a safe croc to approach and touch, she is still shitting herself!
