The Honey Badger Got Bitten by a Black Mamba. Why Is It Still Alive?

The honey badger got bitten by a Cape cobra. Then a puff adder. Then walked home. This is one day in the Kalahari — and by the end of it, a honey badger has taken two venomous bites, killed both snakes, driven off two spitting cobras at a waterhole, and passed within four metres of a black mamba in a tree without breaking stride. This video breaks down exactly how that's possible: the skin that arrows couldn't pierce, the venom resistance that shouldn't exist, and the jaw that cracks tortoise shells. Not a myth.
