I always wondered what kind of weird friendships or weird situations between animals that have happened since the start of life on earth, imagine how much cool stuff that have happened that didn't get caught on camera and we'll never know about it.
I think in Yellowstone they have documented flocks of ~~crows~~ ravens working with packs of wolves to mutual benefit. The crows will alert the wolves to recently dead animals and the wolves will break apart the carcass enough that the crows can also eat it.
Some wolves and crows seem to "play" with each other too.
It's possible. They have a long memory, are very smart (like surprisingly smart), and they hold grudges. On the plus side they also remember nice people/animals.
Corvids (not COVID!) are believed to be some of the smartest animals on earth. There is a interesting documentary about it but I don't remember what it's called.
Some years ago my bf hit a magpie on his bike. He was shocked and stopped to help the poor bird but then it's magpie friend/spouse started attacking him and my bf had no choice but to flee the area. The incident happened on a small path next to our (previous) apartment which we used all the time. The magpie witness didn't forget though and every time he tried to take the path he was attacked and chased away.
Not on camera but I saw a sad tale of animal loyalty.
Driving home I see something on the road ahead. It is moving/struggling. I think half dead dog... get closer and it is a racoon. Two racoons. One is *right* run over. Like innards are now outwards. His cohort has him by the hands and is trying to pull him off the road. As I get closer it gives up its effort and gets off the road.
I watched that guy leave and as he climbed over the guard rail he looked back one last time to his fallen comrade. I think about that look quite often.
That's something to see. I don't know what to say about it, but it's very moving and i've seen enough of mammals not to find it surprising. I suppose I'm quite baffled by how for so very long people thought they were so separate and superior to other animals.
When we have countries giving the power of sentience to creatures, legally, in 2021 it makes sense. Why would a racoon not be sentient? Or a bull, Spain? It is our minimizing of nature and our ignorance of language that allows this.
I get what you're going for here, but humans are arguably the best at working together. At the very least it's a huge part of our success as a species.
This video seems to be real, no fake:

Now I just have this image of a Tyrannosaurus rex and a smaller species of theropod just chilling and walking through the Cretaceous forest of Hell's Creek like two buddies on a walk
I wonder this constantly. What amazing and cool things have been lost to time? What religions, languages, animals, oddities, will never be known again?
We already know there was loads, just with humans have Neanderthals and Denisovans having had relationships. At some point in our history we were able to communicate with other intelligent apes like us on this planet.
Yeah there’s some really oddball symbiotic things going on out there. I am also aware of coyotes and badgers hanging out.
I saw a documentary about Africa that told the story of how baboons and a very specific pride of lions struck up a partnership. The deal: The baboons would not alert (screech and yell) when they saw the lions so as not to send all the animals scattering. In exchange they could safely hang out and walk amongst the lions, i.e. have protection. How this played out in the real world is some antelope would show up and walk around, give a nod to the baboons who were just hanging out. Wham! Zoink! BIF! The lions would pop out of the bushes, run past the treacherous baboons and catch an unsuspecting antelope.
Quite remarkable.
Think about that often, I really like the idea of it as well. I sometimes wonder about what insane things my ancestors may have gone through that I will never know. Or what insane coincidences that may have happened. Maybe one day everybody on earth farted at the same time and we didn’t even know it!
I think I saw an animal documentary about how the bear & coyote/fox/wolf, cohabitate, by one finding food, & the other waiting for the other to finish so they can get the rest. I forgot where I saw it. I think it was on Netflix.
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.

Idk man, road runner was always just vibing doing good own thing. Coyote was after him, and he just ran away. I don't think bear is going to help with catching a much faster prey. Anyways, sorry for ruining the joke.
Seems like they're going on a journey to rescue their emu friend, who got kidnapped by two poachers, one fat one and one skinny one.
Isn't that sort of how it goes?
Yep. They’ll sing a traveling song next, then hit a setback and have a small argument that they both get too invested in. They’ll part ways but both continue trying to rescue their pal. They’ll run into each other again and remember how much they need one another to rescue their buddy, then they’ll sing a friendship duet. Finally they’ll overcome the poachers, rescue the emu, and have a big chase scene song as they flee and eventually overcome their foes.
With music by Randy Newman:
*It’s a stawry ‘bout fwenship with music by me,*
*’Bout a bear and a coyote,*

*SOMETHIN’ LIKE THAWT*
Symbiosis is present between species all throughout the animal kingdom. And all the *other* kingdoms too!
There is the Water Buffalo and the Cattle Egret. An Egret gets a free ride, a great vantage point for hunting and a Buffalo get any ticks and lice removed! Win/win.
Zebras and Ostriches hang together. Zebras can't see well but have a great sense of smell. Ostriches see excellently but can't smell for shit. This helps both, as they are both prey for faster animals.
In this case... a bear gets a hyper aware, loud and a watchful, loyal partner.
The coyote gets to eat fresh bear shit.
symboisis is VERY common in the natural world, just not as common in higher life-forms
For Example, Humans, By Weight, are less human than bacteria (more bacteria than human)
That is incredible. I wonder if these relationships occur more frequently around human settlements where they tend to scavenge more. I’d like to think that maybe they’re tracking a deer together.
Bear would have to be pretty desperate to try to eat something that can both fight back and run faster than it. That bear looks pretty healthy. Coyote is safe.
Animals will rarely form bonded pairs consisting of two different species usually for food and protection. It almost always involves one of them being a canine of some sort.
I'd definitely hang out with a bear if I could.....
Fresh fish, yes please....
Protection from badness, also, yes please.....
Hook my buddy up with some bleeding protein, no problem...
*Maul a human or 3, oh gawd yes, LETS GOOOOO*
Oddly enough, lone Coyotes and Badgers hang out a LOT. They kind of cover each other's weaknesses while hunting.
As properly clever animals, they're more than happy to work with other species. And judging how their population has exploded with humans in North America, the other species doesn't even have to know they're participating.
be great if human came into picture and coyote and bear instantly acted as if they were at odds with each other. the jokes been on us humans all along.

Ravens, actually (here’s the thing, blah blah etc.). It’s awesome. They’ll literally grab sticks to play tug of war with the pups.
[удалено]
I once trusted Ravens. Nevermore.
Lamar Jackson almost fucked up my fantasy season, too.
Damn. That might be another way they find carcasses 😨
I’ve heard of birds leading other birds into traffic but never this. Very interesting thank you for the story!

Corvids of a feather murder together. Now that's what I call a wingman! >!Sorry not sorry lol.!<
Can't blame it lol
Ravens tried to get my dogs to chase them off a cliff...
Was your dog a coyote? Was this raven a roadrunner type? I totally believe it.
Was a giant anvil involved?
Damn thats premeditated murder!
So hunting then.
Raven mom didn’t raise no dummy.
Were you about to use the word... jackdaw?
More like jack d'awwww...
Not just figuratively grab the sticks? Woah!
I've seen this stuff too.
Sauce?
It was on some documentary on TV . No way I can find it anymore.
Not just recently dead. They will call out the locations of live animals too.
"I had a nightmare of Wolf eating Raven."
Not on camera but I saw a sad tale of animal loyalty. Driving home I see something on the road ahead. It is moving/struggling. I think half dead dog... get closer and it is a racoon. Two racoons.

*"this stays between us.. can't let these fuckers see us"*
Hehe lol - guy from *NatGeo*
It's almost like they are smart enough to work together instead of fighting. 
A lot of human conflict arises precisely because we work together so much.
Hello humanity?!?! Take a clue from the animal world, lol!!!!!
I don’t know if this would be a great analogy for humanity. They are working together to screw over a third group of animals.
So, humanity?
So, Life as we know it?
I meant that it wouldn't be a great analogy for humanity *to use an an example* Thought it would be implied based on the previous comment!
I get what you're going for here, but humans are arguably the best at working together. At the very least it's a huge part of our success as a species.
Coyote follows the bear for scraps, bear tolerates the coyote because it's not enough meat for the energy needed to kill it.
You mean smart enough to fight together

The long neck was definitely friends with tryseratops (spelling?)
And the duckbill and the flyer. Actually, the triceratops was a dick. (I love/hate that 52 movies later every generation will get this reference.)
I wonder this constantly. What amazing and cool things have been lost to time? What religions, languages, animals, oddities, will never be known again?
We already know there was loads, just with humans have Neanderthals and Denisovans having had relationships. At some point in our history we were able to communicate with other intelligent apes like us on this planet.
It's crazy to think at one point there were multiple species with our level of intelligence. Sure they were very closely related to us, but still.
This is even better then the coyote and badger dual
Coyotes and badgers are actually common pairings in the wild. They're like the land version of eels and groupers.
Yeah there’s some really oddball symbiotic things going on out there. I am also aware of coyotes and badgers hanging out. I saw a documentary about Africa that told the story of how baboons and a very specific pride of lions struck up a partnership.

This one time a Trex had a threesome with a Stegosaurs and a Velociraptor
This is what I love best about the internet
The video of the coyote and badger toddling off together will stay with me forever.
Animals after filming a National Geographic episode
“Hey, did we remember to punch out?”
OK, so I'm not the only one to remember that cartoon.
Right?! I can’t for the life of me remember their names, but I can picture them clearly on the hillside lol.
"Morning Ralph" "Morning Sam"
Ralph and Sam. Thank You! Edit to add: it was driving me nuts. Edit to further add: omg the lunch break whistle (had to look up the wiki).
"Hey Spike! Spike! Do you wanna go tips over some garbage cans?! Do ya? Do ya?! Huh Spike?!"
Dawg the caterers are getting on my nerve
Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase.
The bear necessities of life will come to you
That's what I'd do if I were a coyote.
Why chase your food when you can have your big friend dig through dumpsters?
I think I saw an animal documentary about how the bear & coyote/fox/wolf, cohabitate, by one finding food, & the other waiting for the other to finish so they can get the rest. I forgot where I saw it. I think it was on Netflix.
Robin Hood and Little John walkin through the forest!
Ooda lalee Ooda lalee Ooda lalee lehh.

Yes a good bot.
Very good bot
I like how the bear just ambles along while the coyote stops and looks around
"Shouldn't we be alert? Or...something?" "Nah we're good." Its like a shrek and donkey vibe
“I’m the scariest thing we’ll see in this forest”
"noted, moving on"
I like it
Bear is Tank class Coyote is Rogue
Now they need a bird for a ranger
>you ever get the feeling we’re being watched?
When you get big enough, you don't worry.
Coyote keeps a lookout and helps trap prey, bear provides ample quantities of shit and carcasses to chew on. A match made in heaven.
Roadrunner is gonna have a bad time now
Idk man, road runner was always just vibing doing good own thing. Coyote was after him, and he just ran away. I don't think bear is going to help with catching a much faster prey. Anyways, sorry for ruining the joke.
There was at least 1 episode where the road runner got his desserts.
It’s a Disney movie
Seems like they're going on a journey to rescue their emu friend, who got kidnapped by two poachers, one fat one and one skinny one. Isn't that sort of how it goes?
Yep. They’ll sing a traveling song next, then hit a setback and have a small argument that they both get too invested in. They’ll part ways but both continue trying to rescue their pal.

There's also that one scene with a hamster eating far too many pancakes. Something for all ages!

I don't care if the ~~ostrich~~ emu was sick. It takes more than one guy to fuck an ~~ostrich~~ emu.
It literally is. Jungle Book.

Write a couple songs and you've got a Disney buddy movie
When you and your cousin go on an adventure and do cool shit.
Tryin to find out if the bear really does shit in the woods.
You don't want to mess with those two.
Awesome duo.
Scavenger buddies!
emergency food!
Jungle Book live action part 2
I’ve been watching Shameless. This made me think of Carl and Nick
Bro that's Robin Hood and Little John 💀
But what song are they singing as they walk along?
symboisis is VERY common in the natural world, just not as common in higher life-forms For Example, Humans, By Weight, are less human than bacteria (more bacteria than human)
This is Mutualism.
This is mad hahaha love it.
Rex and Honey!
coyotes: wingmen of the great outdoors
Coyote. 'Pull over, Pull over, PULL OVER!!!'
Robin hood and little John running through the forest. Ooh dal lali ooh da lali golly what a day
It actually kinda makes sense that they would hang out
If a coyote named Porscha and you get tips from many men Then your fat friend nickname is Minivan
Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest
Robin Hood and Little John, walkin’ through the forest…
This was the first thing that came to my mind!
Who's going to mess with you with a big black bear as your buddy..... No one that's who.
The cgi in this Disney movie is unreal.
This is proof that bears are becoming humans and coyotes become their dogs
I see a tank and a rogue dps.
They're out to see Mowgli. The panther was fired and coyote was hired
This is a children's book waiting to happen 😊
I have two dogs…a Newfie & a husky… this reminds me of them
That is incredible. I wonder if these relationships occur more frequently around human settlements where they tend to scavenge more. I’d like to think that maybe they’re tracking a deer together.
This is some ice age Sid the sloth and Manny type shenanigans
If you cannot see my rear view mirrors I cannot see you.
Robjnhood and little John vibes
they are best friends
You and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel.
It's always nice when your snack follows you for later
Bear would have to be pretty desperate to try to eat something that can both fight back and run faster than it. That bear looks pretty healthy. Coyote is safe.
Yup, I agree. If he's hungry enough though, there's dinner.
Had the same thought xD
Bear: Come with me, I will show you my kids
Now this is a movie I would go see.
Coyote is just waiting for some bear poop to eat.
Someone explain
Animals will rarely form bonded pairs consisting of two different species usually for food and protection. It almost always involves one of them being a canine of some sort.

I'd definitely hang out with a bear if I could..... Fresh fish, yes please.... Protection from badness, also, yes please..... Hook my buddy up with some bleeding protein, no problem... *Maul a human or 3, oh gawd yes, LETS GOOOOO*
That coyote is the step daddy
Robbin hood and little John walking through the forest...
Awesome
And the next Disney movie was born
I’m always stunned at what wild animals are capable of, so cool!
This is beautiful
Panas 👍
I hope they have some good adventures together…
This seems more like "Fire out the hole"
He said did u hear something no George let’s go
Pretty sure this is just overlapped wild footage
Me chasing other people's stock advice.
Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting wabbits.
I'm not a wildlife expert, so as speed goes, could the bear catch a coyote if he wanted? Doesn't seem likely to me...
Can you imagine seeing a coyote and being afraid, then you look over and see the coyote has a fucking bear friend.
Coyote looks around sus: I swear it feels like there’s someone watching us. Grizzly: Oh, you’re always paranoid. Keep walking.
Love is a universal language
You want to bambam!
Teaching them about the bear necessities
Please send this to Nat Geo to follow up on. I need this to be a documentary!
Bear and Coyote: hakuna matata!
Oddly enough, lone Coyotes and Badgers hang out a LOT. They kind of cover each other's weaknesses while hunting. As properly clever animals, they're more than happy to work with other species. And judging how their population has exploded with humans in North America, the other species doesn't even have to know they're participating.
Whooahh cool
Real life jungle book :)
*Hakuna Matata intensifies*
be great if human came into picture and coyote and bear instantly acted as if they were at odds with each other. the jokes been on us humans all along.
Rare occurrence!Both these species are EXTREMELY skiddish!
