This doesn't seem realistic to me.

So the coyote chases the prey into a hole then the badger digs it out. Then what, he gives it to the coyote to eat? I seriously doubt it.

One gets the scraps is all. No conflict in that get together looked more like excitement.

Seems there is a bunch of assumptions being made...........or, you know, the badger was originally orphaned when an infant badgerlet, then taken to raise by a moma fox. These two now running together are actually brothers.....sheeeeesh! Pay attention people, can't you see they're related?

That relationship is not unusual . There are native american creation stories about the coyote and badger . I have seen several documentries about the west that mention how coyotes will tag along just out of reach of badger and catch the prey that flushes from the badgers destructive nature .

I have no idea if they ever hunt together or not, seems unlikely. But that video shows no such thing, and the author is an idiot.

I have run across badgers and coyotes in close proximity in prairie dog towns several times. Not exactly sure how the relationship works, but is not uncommon in this area.

Your not from the west obviously and also reading more into this than is there !!
It's certainly common to see them both in proximity in a Prairie dog town out here !!

Does that mean they shook hands and watch our for each other uhhmmm No lol

However if you know them both and how one is more opportunistic than the other, you soon come to the conclusion that Ole Wiley is much wiser than Mr. Badger LOL

I've seen coyotes in prairie dog towns following a badger too. Prairie dogs pop out of a hole to escape the badger. I dont think the two just hang out and play but coyotes do take advantage of the stuff a badger pushes out

Bill Austin, first control guy in Wyoming to make a coyote call, 1967, said the coyote will let badger go through the brush to flush the rabbit out, then eat it in front of poor short leg badger, he said seems badger been getting the short end of deal a lot lol

If you knew anything about coyotes, coyote control you would have known this like I have known for years

Known what? That they share the food? I call BS on that one.

No one said they share food, the badger gets short end of the deal, if video said that they don't know much about animal life
