Every time he gets out he challenges the lions to a brawl in the thunderdome and barely survives it. He's done it a few times. Apparently he needed a lot of surgery once which is why they started doing all of this. They keep him in for his own benefit.
Towards the end, when there are about 48 seconds left and he’s just escaped again, I swear he makes a noise at the person behind the camera like ‘don’t try and stop me!’
I love how when he gets out, they always show some guy chasing him yelling "Stoffel!". I'm wondering what is that guy going to do if he catches him? Pick him up?
OMG, I LOVE STOFFEL!! His story got me through a life threatening illness a couple of years ago, thank you little mate for your tenacity, helped me to not give up!
Just wanted to mention that Stoffel isn't a rodent, as tagged at the top. Honey badgers are in the weasel family, like otters, ferrets, wolverines and other smart troublemakers. 🙂
u/Dev1412, our users say your post fits the subreddit! Welcome!!
Apparently, adding more honey badger doesn't help to confine honey badger. One is a menace, two are a cataclysmic event.
He is still alive. He is in his late 20's now.
I remember watching this documentary years ago. Glad to see old Stoffel pop up on the internet again, the scruffy bastard
It kinda seems like he really doesn’t want to be there.

Fueled by rage. Makes sense
Can’t imagine why
The irony is, the day they give up putting him back, he will come back on his own. It's all a game to him. :P
lol
STOFFEL!!! haha he's awesome.
is a stew ??

HONEY BADGERS DON’T GIVE A F!!
can't believe you linked it and STILL fucked the quote up
It was on purpose, but thanks for noticing!
He built a badger Alcatraz? Yeah, but Brian didn't give a shit.
I freakin love honey badgers and Stoffel is my fave. 💯 G
Forgive my ignorance but why doesn’t he want Stoffel to go free?
If I recall, dude was raised by humans and wouldn’t survive in the wild.
That makes sense and thank you for replying
I don’t know. He seems pretty capable.
The video starts by talking about how he was recently mauled by lions. I'm not sure capable is the right word.
Again?
Hopefully just the once as that would have been enough🤞🏼
Thanks for that. I had only seen snippets of the documentary and missed that part about Stoffel being mauled by lions.
This reminds me of the escape-artist orangutan 🦧 Animals are really clever 🧠
"You'll never keep me, jailers! I will live free!!!!"
Stoffel is a legend, give the guy his freedom!
I think he's earnt his freedom..
Stoffel is free. He only let's his human friends think otherwise. As a thanks for all the snacks.
See stoffel, upvote stoffel.
Stoffel! 😍
Loved the documentary! Does anyone know where to find it on the internet? I think the title was "Honey Badgers - Masters of Mayhem"

That's from the BBC channel on YouTube.
We need a 2 hr feature documentary on Stoffel- so adorable
This is legit one of my favorite animal videos of all time.
You can’t catch me. I’m the honey badger man.
The old man realIzing Stoffels latest eacape

The brain computer dance
FREEDOM FOR STOFFEL!
This is primate-level intelligence. I had no idea.
Viva la Libertad!
I met him in South Africa!
Forgive me, but I think this guy could survive in the wild- time to release the honey badger! Be free my friend!!!
Now let's see Ken Allan's escape
Maybe he just doesn't want to be there
Shawn the sheep meets the penguins of Madagascar vibes
That’s just Stawful.
Lucky Stoffel is friendly..
People are impressed that monkeys use tools. What would you insider this to be?
Stoffel DGAF!!
Stoffel don't care
Each time, Stoffel is saying “Challenge accepted!” I suggest either taking Stoffel for walks or just making a reality show of his antics.
So much dexterity and intelligence. I love this video.
Honey badgers appreciate their freedom
salute to stoffel
I think he's earned the right to be free.
The Ball Biting Honey Badger
‘Badger Alcatraz’ 😂😂
The fact they had Stoffel reenact all his escapes lol
Repeatedly mauled by lions
"He's just so smart!"
I love how when he gets out, they always show some guy chasing him yelling "Stoffel!". I'm wondering what is that guy going to do if he catches him? Pick him up?

They don't pay the badger enough to stay in the cage
Ah, Stoffel.❤️

Put some mittens on him. Those little hands won't be so dexterous then.
Intelligent or what ?
Are they the really aggressive badgers ?
I'm glad mychickens arent this smart.
Well that’s a horrible loc to begin with
Like McQueen in the great escape
Stoffel steals hearts. And probably a lot of other shit. Animals forever!
