Examples
“Not only is the honey badger fond of hunting and eating venomous snakes and stealing honey from angry bees, it is also disregarding of animals many times its own⟳ size. Lions and leopards have⟳ been known to kill⟳ and eat⟳ honey badgers, but on the whole, they will give⟳ them a wide berth.”
“There are in fact records of Honey badgers being stung to death in their quest for this much-relished source of food. Reptiles are also a major food source. Venomous snakes are neither ignored nor respected by the honey badger.”
“Co-operative relationships between mammals and birds are unusual, but the honey badger enjoys two. Its association with the greater honeyguide is well known. This small bird uses a distinctive song to lure the honey badger to a bee′s nest, whereupon it feasts on the grubs after the badger has ransacked the nest and had its fill⟳ of honey. Less well known is the honey badger′s association with the pale chanting goshawk.”
“For years, Bitcoin has been called "the honey badger of money," and "antifragile." The "Bitcoin don't care" meme is perhaps most applicable of all right now. Bitcoin simply doesn't care what China does, or what bank CEOs say⟳, or what central bankers think⟳. The only thing Bitcoin cares about, apparently, is increasing in price and adoption.”
“The documentarian told the New York Times' Frank Bruni last⟳ month he made the movie because he "wanted to contribute⟳ something to the political debate⟳ ongoing." He said Bannon was willing to cooperate because he is a honey badger, and "honey badgers don't care," referring to the viral meme.”
