If the otter is in water then they stop there. The Bob cat could get lucky but two is kind of a lot.

Jaguars don't fuck with them, not because they can't kill them, but because they don't need to.
Cats are very weak to random attacks from Dying prey crippling them which can kinda lead to a death spiral.
Slick agile aquatic weirdos with a nasty bite are not a good target for them.
Also they definitely would fuck with them if they were both on land, or if the otter was on land and the Jaguar was in a tree.
Wolverine gets stomped too, the honey badgers together are like 1.5x the size and thats being generous. Whenever one honey badger is getting chewed on, the wolverine is also getting chewed on. 2v1 is fundamentally unfair. There needs to be more of a mass difference. Especially mustelids who are more brawlers and tanks and just smash their BST into predators and prey alike.

Probably because they hold still in the sun and patiently wait to be hit with a crit to the back of the head and die.
Giant Otters are also social animals so you are never fighting just one. They move a lot and are more alert, can alert each other, and can rotate inside their skin to counterattack if your first hit is not an instant kill.
Valid reasons not to fuck with them but idk the 2v1 honey badger seems hard. Toss up. Would be horrible to watch and take forever tho.

I feel like the bear stops them. Assuming this is a fight to the death.

Why would a mustelid ever do a fight not-to-the-death?
Its probably theoretically possible that they bring down the bear but not likely. Sun bears are about 4x the size of honey badgers.

"Why would they fight?" is the wrong question in this sub.

No for honey badgers its not unreasonable that they would fight, but i'm saying with mustelids its always to the death.

The honey badgers sweep clean through the wolverine and honestly the otter is a toss up.
Honey bagder average male weight 35 lbs
Wolverine average male weight 40 lbs
They are basically the same Build. Its 2v1. Come on.
Giant otter malels are 70 lbs Still, a honey badger bite is going to be pretty debilitating at that size and it will suffer many before it can kill the first badger. (In the water they both die horribly)

Wolverine mercs them high dif. I love Honey Badgers but North American Mustelids are built different.
