Weighing no more than 30 pounds, it is rated as "the most fearless animal in the world". What is its capital?

Africa has become the destination of choice for many tourists. There are two things in Africa that are very attractive to tourists. One is the primitive tribes in Africa. The primitive tribes on the African continent are large and small. Several tribes have their own customs, many of which are bizarre or shocking to many tourists. Another thing is the wild animals on the African continent. Nowadays, if you want to see some animals, you usually go to the zoo, but the animals in the zoo are not as good as wild animals, so many people want to see these wild animals up close when they travel to Africa. Especially those ferocious lions, cheetahs and other carnivores.

When watching these wild animals, be sure not to get out of the car and run around, and listen to the tour guide. Facing those ferocious carnivores, tourists will naturally tighten their nerves and be extremely careful. However, when encountering some cute-looking small animals, many tourists will relax their vigilance. Some of these cute little animals are also very dangerous, and the most difficult to mess with is the honey badger.

The honey badger is small, about the size of a medium-sized dog, and weighs only about 20 pounds. It has two major characteristics. The first is not to be afraid of venomous snakes. The most dangerous thing about venomous snakes is their venom. But for honey badgers, if they are bitten and poisoned, they just need to sleep. So for honey badgers, venomous snakes are the same snack as "spicy strips". . Another characteristic makes it appear on the Guinness Book of World Records all year round, and it is called the most fearless animal in the world. Honey badgers are very aggressive and vindictive. Once they are provoked, no matter who the opponent is, even if it is their natural enemy, they will not hesitate to go up and do it, and it is the kind of fight that either you or I will die.

Lions, cheetahs, etc. can kill honey badgers, but they do not want to provoke honey badgers, because honey badgers do not know fear at all, and they also have sharp teeth and claws, and thick and tough fur. In the end, even if the lion beats the honey badger, it will take several hours. Moreover, the honey badger’s meat doesn’t have much meat after removing the skin and bones, so it’s really tasteless. There are few animals in the animal world like honey badgers, who want to fight every day. They hunt more for food. Naturally, they avoid troublemakers like honey badgers if they can, and they really don't want to provoke them.

Therefore, honey badgers are jokingly called by netizens "either fighting, or on the way to fight", and are also called the "number one leader" in the animal world. Also because the honey badger's head is relatively smooth and looks like a shaved head from a distance, it is also called "Flat-headed Brother".

This has led to the fact that honey badgers are rarely kept in zoos. With its bad temper, it is completely impossible to keep it. You don’t know when or what will happen to provoke a honey badger. And honey badgers have such a recalcitrant temper that breeders cannot have contact with honey badgers at all.

The honey badger is still very smart and cannot be kept in ordinary places. Someone once kept the honey badger. They were kept in an iron cage at first, but they did not expect that the honey badger would open the latch of the cage and escape. out. After that, several methods were changed, and each time the honey badger could find a way to escape. If you used a wall, it would dig a hole; if you hardened the ground with cement, it would use the trees inside to climb to the branches, bend the branches, and hang down. Go outside the fence; you cut down all the trees, and it will find branches to lean against the wall as ladders and so on.

Faced with a "naughty child" like the honey badger, it is estimated that no zoo would want to keep honey badgers. The "jailbreak" of two animals every three days can make any zoo go crazy, if it is allowed to escape. If honey badgers fight with other animals in their territory, it will be a disaster for the zoo. However, the honey badger’s suicidal nature may require artificial breeding in the future to preserve the species. I don’t know when the honey badger will still be fearless.
