The elephant, Earth’s largest land mammal, weighs several tons, while the honey badger rarely exceeds 15 kilograms. Known for their fearless and aggressive nature, honey badgers usually challenge animals closer to their own size, such as snakes, birds, or small antelope.
If a honey badger were ever to harass an elephant, the giant would almost certainly ignore it. But if truly provoked, an elephant could end the conflict instantly with a single kick or swipe of its trunk. In reality, no confirmed cases exist of honey badgers attacking adult elephants — their bluster is usually just for intimidation.
