<p>Yes the honey badger. To be honest, when I first heard about the role of the amygdala, all I could think about was the small fearless animal in this youtube clip (yes you should watch it, because its hilarious):<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-link" style="display: inline;"><a href="http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg" title="" target="" rel="">The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger (original narration by Randall)</a></span><br />
After watching this, I can't help but wonder; is there something horribly wrong with their amygdalas? Why are they so ambitious, do they even have amydgalas? Unfortunately I couldn't find any articles with research in this field, but if any of you could, that would be a great way to comment (**hint**hint**).</p>

<p><img alt="Screen shot 2011-10-01 at 6.00.35 PM.png" src="http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mossa002/myblog/Screen%20shot%202011-10-01%20at%206.00.35%20PM.png" width="626" height="496" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></p>

<p>So instead, I began to wonder if humans would benefit as a species if we were as fearless as the honey badger. One has to admit, when it comes to disorders like OCD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, the amygdala can be quite a burden. But still, with our lack of claws and sharp teeth, we are basically soft squishy bags of free meat, and one has to give a huge thanks to our amygdalas. It is due to our ability to analyze situations and learn from our mistakes that our species is on top. But hey, thats just my one opinion, so feel free to let me know if you disagree or have anything to add (again,**HINT**HINT**).</p>
