It's important to stay informed.

Ok, lots to unpack here. Firstly, the presence of a copyright by the photographer David Northall. Obviously all credit must completely go to David, it's his photo, he is awesome. I'm not trying to take any credit at all, I just thought his photo would be funny with a few captions.

The original source of this photo is from the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2024-spiked?tags=ed.current&tags=cat.pplschc

Now for the content. The photo shows a honey badger stalking a porcupine, the honey badger is bearing some spikes from the porcupine from previously attacking it. I have added the headline "I should read the news, it's important to stay informed" then I have put the word "me" under the honey badger and the words "the news" under the porcupine.

Here is the description of the photo provided by the NHM:

'David Northall's Image
A bloodied yet determined honey badger returns to finish off a Cape porcupine, which earlier had tried to defend itself.

Found throughout Botswana, honey badgers are famously ferocious. They often chase animals many times their own size.

This honey badger got an unpleasant surprise when it attacked the normally nocturnal Cape porcupine.

The badger grabbed the porcupine’s right leg. In defence, the porcupine repeatedly backed into its attacker, piercing it with many quills.

During a lull in the attack, the porcupine managed to shuffle away, its leg badly damaged. (continues)'
