    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    The video starts by talking about how he was recently mauled by lions. I'm not sure capable is the right word.

    Thanks for that. I had only seen snippets of the documentary and missed that part about Stoffel being mauled by lions.

    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!’

    Each time, Stoffel is saying “Challenge accepted!” I suggest either taking Stoffel for walks or just making a reality show of his antics.

    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?

    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. 🙂
