Researchers in California have recorded footage showing a coyote and a badger together that they believe could be “the first of its kind."

And, it's the cutest thing.


The clip shows a coyote appearing to wait for a badger before the pair cross under a highway together.

It was recorded in November 2019 before being widely shared on social media on Tuesday.

“For folks like us who study these things on the ground, it's about the best kind of footage we could ever dream of," Neal Sharma, wildlife linkages program manager at the Peninsula Open Space Trust told the PA news agency.

“It absolutely blew us away."

The footage was recorded at the Santa Cruz Mountains in California, as part of a study examining areas of safe passage for wildlife.

The clip received millions of views on social media, with some suggesting it had the hallmarks of a Disney film.

Sharma said that he had heard of other accounts of coyotes and badgers hunting together, saying that while they hunt differently, it is often in pursuit of the same prey.

“Actually seeing these two species use a human made crossing structure for safe passage under a busy highway is the first (footage) of its kind that we are aware of," Sharma continued.

“What we don't see in the clip is that just before that, these two actually came through the culvert together, spent some time on the side, and actually went back together."

The internet was loving it.







"Seeing the attention too is really exciting. People connect with these wild animals and that means that there's a lot of interest out there," Sharma said.

“I think that is really at the heart of what we're trying to do. It's a better way of coexisting, especially in our area that's very biodiverse."

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
