Why are even lions afraid of the honey badger in Africa?

The honey badger, also known as the bald badger or ratel, is a species of mustelid native to Africa and parts of Asia. Adults reach a length of 70 to 80 centimeters and weigh 9 to 15 kilograms.
Although they resemble their weasel relatives in appearance, the honey badger's coloring resembles a skunk.
The honey badger is a unique mammal. It has an antidote to almost all natural poisons on Earth. It is not afraid of cobra bites or the stings of venomous bees and scorpions. The honey badger's body has long since developed an immunity to these poisons. This is all thanks to evolution and adaptation. For centuries, honey badgers have battled venomous species of our natural fauna. This has helped them develop an antidote to the venoms of many predators. When honey badgers are still young, their mother takes them hunting for small scorpions and snakes. Small doses of venom strengthen the young body and develop immunity to them.
