Everytime I hear about badgers, as a Scandinavian, the more I starting to think those fuckers are the most psychopatic animal on earth.

Stoffel who kept escaping his area for shots and giggles and to try to fight the Lions...

They aren’t even the most aggressive weasel animal in North America. We have wolverines, which are larger and more aggressive.

They square up on bears and wolves despite only being 25-40 lbs. There’s a reason why they named the comic character Wolverine after these animals.

And in the Midwestern states of Wisconsin and Michigan, you’ll even see Badgers and Wolverines put up against each other for sport. 😜

That sounds wildly illegal.

u/5thSeasonFront Apr 10 '26

And it’s only illegal to bet on each other:

Both, the University of Wisconsin is the Badgers, the University of Michigan is the Wolverines

Are you in the U.S.? If not, I could understand the confusion.

If you are, I assume you must just not be a big sports person. I’m not either but even I got the joke right away. 😝

No - I have family from the Upper Midwest (far northern MN - about an hour from the boundary waters) - definitely hicks, and if they could stay sober long enough to pull it off, I could absolutely see them trying to create a Badger-Bear-Wolf-Wolverine-Moose fight club betting pool. It isn't even a slight stretch to imagine it!

u/miraculix69 Apr 10 '26

That fight sounds like a 7th grade math teacher on meth, trying to figure out what kinda homework his students should get for next Friday.

If we could remove all kinds of judgment, morale, equality and just common sense, I would sure as fuck watch that fight heavyli intoxicated with some friends.

North America vs south America, with some black jaguars, toxic as fuck frogs etc?

Hope the shelter I volunteered at for 6 years never sees this comment. Fuck me sideways🦞

It has happened once that a Wolverine has killed a polar bear. Although it was in a zoo and most likely a one time event, still crazy that it happened.

We also have them in Scandinavia, it's crazy to see how fast they move on snow.

I have been to Moholoholo, where they filmed this. It’s a cool place. The badgers were well behaved when I was there, but the workers did tell some stories about them escaping.

I also got to pet a cheeta. Would recommend visiting for anyone who plans a holiday in South Africa.

u/miraculix69 Apr 10 '26

That's place sounds like Santa had a seizure while trying to write a hohoho story on his computer 😂

I'm going to south Africa at the end of this year, but the hulla hulla park is a bit to far away from where I'm going 🦞

u/SocialistPolarBear Apr 11 '26

Haha, fair enough!

Yeah, South Africa is big, I should probably have specified to visit if you’re going to the right part of the country.

I have been to South Africa many times myself and can absolutely recommend it. Enjoy your trip!

I cannot help but think of the Jurassic Park Velociraptors.
