Honey Badger terrorises village in Odisha's Mayurbhanj, injures 5 in repeated attacks
According to locals on Tuesday, the honey badger entered the village on Monday night and attacked two people, biting them severely. The victims were immediately rushed to Udala Medical for treatment. On Tuesday morning, the animal struck again, injuring three more villagers in separate incidents. Eyewitnesses said the creature, which resembles a small bear, aggressively bites and mauls anyone it encounters before retreating into the nearby jungle.
Villagers described the animal's behaviour as highly territorial and fearless. It only targets people and disappears into the forest after every attack. "We are living in constant fear," said a local. The honey badger, known for its bold and ferocious nature, is rarely sighted in the region, making this incident particularly alarming.
