I'm a little puzzled. Why did they pick the Honey Badger over the Wolverine? They're both members of the very ferocious Mustelidae family (Weasels), which are notorious for being courageously fierce, but as far as i know, the Wolverine, besides being the biggest member of the family, is also the most fearless.
There is a doumented case of a Wolverine killing a full-grown Polar Bear", as well as numerous eyewitness accounts of full grown Grizzlies leaving a fresh kill when a Wolverine appeared on the scene, as well as several documented cases of Timber Wolves being driven from their prey by a single Wolverine.
The Honey Badger is notorious in Africa for its tendency to jump up and bite (and hang onto)the groin of any Human that disturbs it, but I don't think that they are any more brave than the North American Wolverine.
