The thing society as a whole doesn’t understand about nature is that absolutely nothing is just a worm or just a bug or just a plain little fish that does nothing but swim around and eat until it dies. Every single animal has a complicated life and habits. Minnows make nests out of pebbles. Slugs have courtship rituals. Fruit flies have territorial battles and when they can’t get laid they become alcoholics all in those few days that they even exist on earth. Just the functions of the different body parts of a dust mite can fill a lecture and we still don’t completely understand everything about its life habits or its biochemistry.

Coyote fact ? Coyote facts ? A crumb ? Plwease ? Coyote ?

coyotes are naturally social animals, but their pack structure is a LOT looser than wolf packs are and so it's not at all unusual to see a coyote living and hunting alone!

but what IS unusual is that these lone coyotes will sometimes partner up with other animals for hunts who are... definitely not coyotes.

not even canines, in fact!

yeah that's right, sometimes a coyote will straight up find a fucking american badger and decide, HEYYO, it's the Burt to my Ernie! the Frog to my Toad! the Jelly to my crunchy-style Peanut Butter! let's go kill something together, new best friend.

and then they do.

the way it works is that the odd couple will find a group of burrowing prey animals, like ground squirrels or prairie dogs, and start digging them out of their holes.

the prey is confounded- if they break out of their holes and flee, the coyote will use its superior speed to run them down, but if they stay put, the badger is just going to pry them up out of the damp earth and eat them anyway!

WHAT'S A POOR GROUND SQUIRREL TO DO.

nothing. they just get eaten- badger/coyote duos are FAR more effective hunters than either animal could hope to be on its own.

What I'm hearing here is that coyotes and/or badgers figured out how to keep pets.

Which is not really a suprise. Humans have at least attempted to keep just about every social animal out there as pets, it's not weird that coyotes and badgers, both social animals with large flexible family structures, would decide to get in on this co-op thing too.

As part of my work today, I was editing an article about urban exploration (I'm a content editor).

When I came across these photos, it took everything I had not to start writing about Danny, The Stranger, and The Circus of the Other.

devastating that you can live somewhere and then move away and someone else moves in and they live there and you don’t live there anymore but you lived there once
