    A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together. 🎥Peninsula Open Space Trust

    Just a coyote, a badger and me for several hours y'day in prairie dog town. And more today. Oh my, OH my, OH MY! This is a screenshot from my footage. Cooperative hunting, although more like advantageous hunting for the waiting coyote while the badger did all the work.

    And here, in 12 seconds of a coyote and badger heading through a culvert together, a broad audience can see and consider what I and many in my scientific generation see: a thinking, complex, dynamic nature that demands our respect and mindfulness as we move through this world <3

    In all my years studying wild animals (with many more to come), I've seen this complexity, intelligence, and decision-making. I've argued for it. I've battled with some "old-school" scientists and the general public arguing against it.

    In this video I see how complex and flexible nature is. How complex and flexible these two animals are. How these aren't two animal-robots reacting solely to stimuli. How the body language and ease between them suggests that they know each other as /individuals/.

    (And don't get me started on wildlife management agencies not taking into account behavioral ecology and the social/cultural lives of the animals they regulate purely as numbers. We have a ways to go yet.)

    (I've literally had yelling matches with some anthropologists about the cognitive and cultural capabilities of non-human animals, where they absolutely refused to see these as anything but instinct in non-humans.)

    Scientifically we are FINALLY emerging from a dark period of natural study where humans are the only thinkers and decision makers and nature is simply a stimulus-and-instinct-driven play that we can observe (which justifies/ied so much cruelty to other organisms/ecosystems).

    While useful in understanding how behaviors and ecological processes work at the (very) proximal level, these experiments and "rules" often frame behavior and ecological associations as coded, robotic, and inflexible. People quote instinct, and deny the role of thinking.

    Noting and observing flexibility it important. Humans (many scientists included...sometimes the worst offenders) are guilty of thinking in parameters of hard and fast "rules" in the natural world: Stimulus A elicits Behavior B, always.
