I’m being treated for oral thrush. That’s the news from chemo land.
The Star Tribune sends me some story highlights each day. Today, it ended with “Honey badger rescues her baby from hungry leopard” under the heading Watch This. So I watched. I love a good underdog story. Or under-honey badger. The video starts with a leopard chewing (not graphically) on an animal that looks sort of like a skunk, black and white. It wasn’t a tiny baby. I’d call it a juvenile honey badger. All of a sudden, a larger honey badger roars in and goes after the leopard. There’s some chaos and then the leopard retreats to the top of a hill.
Momma honey badger saves the day! Only she didn’t. Baby honey badger is absolutely not okay in the video (not graphically). He was chewed by a leopard, for god’s sake. I thought it was going to be an uplifting story of conquering insurmountable odds, but the momma honey badger was too late. Seriously, did anyone at the Strib watch to the end before posting the link? What the fuck.
