We have all seen footage of epic wildlife encounters. Memorable battles between hunter and prey. But this encounter between a honey badger and a box of Old Brown Sherry (OBS) makes for a rather unique sighting.
Mike Sharman took to Twitter recently to post footage of a honey badger stumbling out of the bushes after, apparently, drinking some good ol’ OBS it found in a safari vehicle. The game reserve is unknown but some social media followers have commented that it was taken in the Lowveld.
‘A honey badger found the box of OBS (sherry) on the game vehicle last night. We found him comatose next to the vehicle this morning. Then he gradually came round and staggered away…’ the caption read.
.@danielricciardo and South Africa will love this story from a WhatsApp

Honey badgers can survive venomous snake bites and have been known to take on large predators like lions. One can’t help but wonder how it fared against that hangover.
