This is the best thing you’ll see all day! 🐾
Our wildlife cameras spotted a #coyote and #badger together — the first time this type of behavior has been captured in the San Francisco #BayArea.https://t.co/YDcnhyiWL1 pic.twitter.com/qZQgcbwtTk— Open Space Trust (@POST_fans) February 4, 2020
An adorable video of a coyote and badger playfully crossing underneath a California highway together is going viral. In the footage, the coyote prances with excitement, as a badger approaches to enter the tunnel with him.
A remote camera, which a research team from the Peninsula Open Space Trust’s Wildlife Research Program monitors, caught the frolicking duo’s friendship. They’ve witnessed thousands of animals while overseeing various cameras throughout the Gilroy, Calif., area, but this particular bond stands out.
“This video of the coyote and badger is one of our favorites,” explained Wildlife Linkages Program Manager Neil Sharma, “and it [has] clearly captured the hearts of people around the world.”
Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together, according to both legend and scientific evidence, but footage like this is very rare.
Beautiful — THANK YOU to all the wonderful, rational, compassionate Animal and Wildlife Caretakers who made this easement possible — for the Animals, this is a matter of life and death.
Very special to watch.
I doubt this!!! Coyotes lead unsuspecting victims to their pack!!!!
This beautiful video should remind all us all that animals are more peaceful and alive in their hearts than most people.
Delightful ♥
Sickening and disgusting
LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO…ANIMALS HEARTS ARE BIGGER THAN MOST HUMANS…
Adorable to see!
So cute! Thank you for sharing that!
hate to be the bearer of bad news but coyote’s are notorious for ‘playing’ with other animals, only to lead them into a pac which kills them. this often happens with dogs and coyotes.
moche
What a lovely video it’s about time we had good news where animals are concerned. Tunnels for wild life should be everywhere .
Thank you for the video. It is uplifting and adorable. I wish the human race would leave these animals alone to live as they are supposed to. This goes to show you that they are sentient beings.
Thank you for something uplifting for a change. Every day I await the petition I need to sign because of some mentally disturbed human torturing an animal. I can only hope that the lawd get stronger.
why can’t people get along that well
Adorable! I understand fully that these wild animals are quite dangerous. However, I look back to the time when my former suburban neighborhood was frequented by a coyote – we had no skunks in our yard which was next door to a heavily wooded area. After the coyote moved elsewhere, the skunks had a field day in our neighborhood. They are not easy to eradicate. The coyote did us no harm & we left it alone as well. I believe that the coyote’s musk kept the undesirables away.
