Unlikely animals helping each other out. 🙂

#Coyotes #Badgers #animalkingdom #animalbehavior #HowellNatureCenterWe promised last year on this day that we would repost this reminder every year until everyone knows that...
COYOTES AND BADGERS GO ON LITTLE ADVENTURES TOGETHER SOMETIMES!!!

Coyotes and badgers will sometimes form a mutually beneficial relationship to get food. These unlikely besties are known to hunt together and can even be more successful hunting prairie dogs and ground squirrels when they work in tandem.

Check out the comments to learn a little more about the power couple everyone is talking about and their unique way of occasionally teaming up.

The Michigan landscape is alive with the rhythmic drumming of woodpeckers! These charismatic birds, known for their striking red caps and robust beaks, play a crucial role in our ecosystems. Not only do they help control insect populations, but their nesting habits also provide homes for various other wildlife. Spotting one of these spirited creatures amidst the trees is always a delightful reminder of Michigan’s vibrant biodiversity.

The pileated make very large holes and are very cool to watch!

They are so much larger than the ones down south!

Looks like it’s feeding the young!
