Which is stronger honey badger or Wolverine?

Why are honey badgers so aggressive?
Honey badgers usually only attack when surprised by predators, which often happens when they are digging – with poor eyesight and their noses in the ground, they can be oblivious to their surroundings. Even if a badger is caught, its loose skin enables it to twist round and bite its attacker.

Can snake die by its own venom?

Are pigs immune to snake venom?
