Honey Badger vs Cobra
Awesome vid, great music - but contains some snake gore.
Honey badgers are my new favourite animal, they're ridiculously hard and have few natural predators. From wikipedia:
"The honey badger can eat dangerous venomous snakes, most often the puff adder. If bitten the honey badger will become severely swollen and paralysed, unable to move for two to three hours. After this period of time the honey badger will re-awaken and continue with its meal or continue its journey. Even more tenacious, is that a honey badger will gladly steal a snake's kill, eat it for itself then continue to hunt the snake."
