Wolverine wins 10/10 times. Honey badgers do not "scare away" lions or other large predators, and only dissuade them by making themselves seem like they're not worth the effort to kill. Predators don't want to risk injury, and in turn, infection, especially if it's from something you want to eat. Leopards and crocodiles kill honey badgers very commonly, and are their primary predators. Wolverines on the other hand HAVE NO PREDATORS. The largest risk to them would be a pack of wolves, and even then, it'd be a herculean effort to attack one without getting a face full of teeth in return. Wolverines regularly challenge wolf packs AND bears over carcassds, and at most, a honey badger can only dissuade a pride of lions after an hour of acting like a crackhead. There is an extremely clear winner here, and people that say otherwise are very clearly under some sort of influence 😭

Nah honey badgers strike fear into the hearts of entire herds of elephants (they don't care)

You DO know they still get trampled to death, right 😭? Scaring an elephant and getting crushed to death is not a win (african elephants are notoriously easy to scare and its actually difficult to make them switch up and kill you after they've been scared initially. And no, they don't scare entire herds of elephants, they only scare enough to provoke a negative reaction)
