This isn't the first time a coyote and badger have been spotted together.

According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, studies have shown that this unusual relationship is beneficial for both species.
The coyote can chase down prey, such as prarie dogs and squirrels, if it runs and the badger can dig after prey if it heads underground into its burrow systems.

Each partner in this unlikely duo brings a skill the other one lacks.
Together they are both faster and better diggers than the burrowing rodents they hunt.
