How are things in your neck of the woods, Rawky?
Commentary by Liberace 
I was watching QI the other night and they said pound for pound the honey badger (it ain't actually a badger) is the most aggressive vicious animal on the planet.It's fav method of attack on bigger animals is to attack their testicles/genitals with it's huge claws this includes people....ooer!

Eeeek its a tough mutha!
In the video it ate a poisonous snake - went unconscious from the venom - then woke up + ate the rest.
It doesn't give a shit about a lot of things does it 
There's a lesson for us all
Pink Dragon Millipede
This millipede shoots cyanide from its mouth!!!
Humboldt Squid
Each tentacle is covered with suckers filled with razor sharp teeth which they use to drag their prey to their beaks.
These creatures love hunting humans â they do it frequently and most fisherman in the area know of at least one or two friends who have been eaten by a pack of these monsters.

Nope! I kinda like the sound of it... As Saint says a lesson for us all.
Maybe not as a pet though
Thanks Rawky! I'd actually never seen that before!
I also love the insult 'badass', especially said with an American accent!

Kangaroos drink their babies urine so they don't hav to get out of the pouch - yuk!!
Why have I never heard of a honey badger?!

I watched that one as well.
I'm going to get me one of those along with a mongoose, just in case we are ever infested by snakes 
They're all in The Ave at Seaham and are unlikely to venture as far north as Cinds.
It doesn't hurt for one to be prepared for every event 
Oh and just to add, after seeing what that honey badger caught at the top of the tree, that's put an end to my tree climbing days.
It nicked the rat that the snake was eating,polished it off then went back to attack the snake! Fearless booger.

he's badass!
Tasmanian Devil has the most powerful jaws of any land mammal.
Plus it gets annoyed rather easily.
Avoid.
Tasmanian Devils have a bad rep they are very noisy etc,but nowhere near as bad as the honey badger.they are in fact an endangered species.There is a horrible cancer affecting them in the wild and many nursing mums are dying from it and their pups are left to starve.
Katty I watched something quite recently (I say recently - this covers the last 2 years), it was really interesting and very sad. There was a guy driving mile upon mile in Australia trying to save them.
Remember Kangaroo Dundee - the guy saving orphaned baby kangaroos.
I will help him if i ever won the lottery

Saw that show saint,Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania had such a diverse and different animal population .Alas with white European colonisation they brought disease and alien species ,including domestic animals that have wreaked havoc on the native species.

He was brilliant, teaching the joeys the skills they needed to survive.
