Best Buddies?

We've seen this several times in Wind Cave NP where a coyote and a badger form some (I guess) symbiotic relationship. Anyone else witness similar relationships?

Cool shot of interesting behavior. Wonder if they're both waiting for the same gopher.

Fun game camera clip showing how these two enjoy teaming up:

Apparently if the prey tries running away, the coyote gets it, and if it escapes into a burrow, the badger gets it, and the success rate is better for both vs working alone.

Nice, great sighting. The SPCG and Honey Badgers in the Kalahari does this too.
