We have to thank “Unknowable” for sending us this scarcely-believable video. It was taken in California, near a tunnel that passes under a highway–and we see a coyote and a badger on the friendliest terms, jogging into the tunnel together. Wow! Who would have thought it? But one of the rangers says, “Coyotes and badgers are known to team up and hunt together.” Even Mr. Nature didn’t know that! But these wildlife monitoring cameras are showing us a lot of animal behavior that no one knew about before.
Not quite fair to the ground squirrels who get hunted by this tag-team, though, is it? They’re gonna have to find some friends.
I had no idea. Very interesting.
Didn’t you have a pet badger once?
I had a pet Wolverine, but it decided that I was too untamed. 🙂
This is amazing footage. We are learning amazing things about the animal kingdom and it’s obvious that we have underestimated them.
We did have a badger once. She had been left when her mother died, so my husband brought her home. she was a real hoot. I was always a bit leery, though when feeding her some of her favorite foods. Those teeth could be dangerous.
Well, well, well! Now isn’t that something?
