Honey badger fights three leopards in Greater Kruger Posted by David Henning on 12 October 2022 A honey badger enforced its reputation as a tough and gritty wild animal when it fought back against three leopards at &Beyond Kirkman’s Kamp in the Greater Kruger. Filed guide Dan Fiser and business consultant Paola Murguia, were lucky enough to witness this sighting. ‘We were parked near a mother leopard and her two cubs, who were sitting on the Sand River bank. We followed them as they moved upstream,’ they told Latest Sightings. ‘The two cubs walked into the reeds and we heard a loud commotion which the mother reacted to. Then all three appeared, wrestling with a honey badger.’ ‘The three leopards took turns trying to take the honey badger down – an unfair battle one would think. The sighting ended with the honey badger trotting off as though nothing had happened. This was a once-in-a-lifetime sighting,’ they both concluded.
