Mathieu is only 5 feet 9 inches and 175 pounds, but he was a Heisman finalist sophomore and played for the Tigers on defense and special teams, scoring four touchdowns and create havoc throughout the land.

But this is only the surly little creature, who marvels Randall "is about the size of a Jack Russell," which captured the imagination of everyone.

"When you stop and realize what is happening in our society, it kind of logic," said Randall. "This animal has really struck a chord with people. I think people cannot get enough of it. Finally, here is this animal is just not going to take longer. This is where we are headed. Many people are fed up with the situation they were given in this country. "

It describes really get what he wants. It does not really care about anyone else in the animal kingdom. I was blown away when I saw this video.

"I saw the films in the normal animals’ lions attacking gazelles and gross stuff like that. But the little honey badger is being stung by bees and bitten by cobras and is back up and continues on. I've never seen anything like it. That's incredible. I'm just in awe of the honey badger. Absolute admiration. "
