This is an astonishing and honestly presented nature story; one of the best I've seen on RUclips. Firstly, the filmmaker shows and mentions the location - next to a car park, rather than doing what many people would be tempted to do, which would be to make out that it was deep in the forest somewhere. Honesty is always best, but you'd be amazed how much of nature documentary is, at least in part, manipulated, and often downright fake. As a filmmaker I can see when it's fake, and I greatly dislike it. Secondly, she follows the family over several days and shows us their daily lives - the male hunting, the young playing and feeding etc., and gives us interesting information about foxes. At this point, I don't see too many people shedding tears over the lives of the ground squirrels. Of course, up to this point, nobody knew what was going to happen next. When the badger appears, a terrible but natural drama unfolds: the kind of thing that is probably happening all over the world, all the time, but which is rarely captured on film, at least, not as part of a whole story. Quite rightly, neither the camera operator, nor anyone else present intervened in this scenario. For one thing, they had no idea how it was going to pan out, but much more importantly, it would have been disastrous to even attempt to get involved. For a start, you, the badger and/or the foxes might get hurt, and you are likely to do more damage than good. Above all that though, is the simple fact that is was natural behaviour. There is no need to add 'human' concepts of 'cruelty' or 'unfairness' to this story - those things don't exist in nature. It is not the job of a filmmaker to go out into nature and try to prevent every bit of behaviour that the viewer might find distasteful. Imagine if every time you saw a cheetah chase on a film from Tanzania you were hoping for the filmmaker to drive their Land Rover between the Cheetahs and the Impala. It would be absurd. Nature documentaries would not exist. They would be replaced by intervention documentaries. In addition to all of that, this was filmed in a National Park, where visitors and filmmakers are quite rightly prohibited from interfering with the wildlife, so even if they had wanted to, they couldn't have. From a biological point of view, two kits and a lot of ground squirrels died, and a badger ate a lot, which might have helped it to go on and breed - who knows? It was spring, so the adult foxes would probably have had ample time to raise another family. Foxes are incredibly flexible in their breeding habits, and can adjust litter size etc., in order to respond to the level of food and habitat available. For most animals, life is a short struggle followed by a violent death. Only the fittest or the luckiest survive - that is the way of it. Finally, as for the narrator's accent, a day may come soon when the only voices we hear are AI generated and devoid of passion, but for now, let's celebrate the rich sound of all the many accents the world has to offer.
Darryl thank you so much for your thoughtful and accurate words. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to write this. As you no doubt have seen there are some really nasty comments on here. Yours is the most complete rebuttal of all the comments on here. Thank you so much!! You made my day! (P.S. I’ve tried to change my accent. My Iowa born and raised mother hated it. But I guess it is an “old dog, new tricks thing.)
Darryl I want you to know that since you took the time to make the above comments people have gotten much nicer. You have, after over 5 years of over 9,000 nasty comments, made a huge difference. Thank you!
@@JudyLehmbergEpicNature I'm very happy to hear it, and I'm also glad that I took the time to explain the real situation calmly, rather than just fly off the handle as I sometimes do!! It is clear that many people do not have a deep understanding of how the natural world works, and how humans should interact with the rest of nature. That's not surprising given the dysfunctional political and moral systems that have dominated society in recent decades. Hopefully, we can keep chipping away, treading the line between awe, entertainment, and education.
I just love the irony in calling human “behavior” not natural at all. It’s messed up, as this, can be even worst. But for it *NOT* to be a part of nature? Nah man. We still bleed and die. Act out the same type of essential instincts and functions, being born, breeding, dying... If people don’t participate in interfering, that’s their choice. But don’t bullshit about how it would be “manipulated” and not natural, if they did, when we’re living beings as well, under the same rules of nature as them.
I usually see foxes and similar animals run away rather than fight, a mother animal become like 10 times more aggressive for their children which is always interesting to see.
Agreed. I hear story of Hunters getting attacked by male bears and survive. And i also hear them say Glad it wasn't a Momma Bear or else I'd be dead . So yeah, Mommy Bears with cubs Big No No..🚫🚭🚷
@@darnalsmith3716 Well, wolves and lions get entire families to protect their young--cousins, aunts, and uncles....The father fox here didn't "ask" his mate about what happened each day, and she didn't offer information... Maybe that kind of "communication" ability ought to have been thicker in their DNA... Maybe if they remain mates, they'll be wiser foxes next spring... Thanks, Darnal.....
@@darnalsmith3716 they could have possibly ran it off but if that badger wanted to it could have killed the pups while being attacked by both parent foxes.....I like foxes but they're not strong enough to deal with the ferocity and determination of the badger.
This narrator would never call anyone sweetcheeks and certainly wouldn't offer you anything. A sense some prejudice against a southern accent. Send me the money and I'll go to speech therapy.
K&J Survival I understand however if you scroll through the comments and see how many stupid ones I’ve read over the last 6 years maybe you would understand. And I’m not just referring to the few comments on my accent.
***** I understand. Me too. I sometimes wonder if I didn't put this movie together so I could somehow get rid of the sadness by sharing it with others. I know now it doesn't work that way. I have a bunch of footage of another fox family where, as far as I know, everyone lived happily ever after. I guess I should get to work on that one.
Judy Lehmberg Well, the ultimate reality is, those pups are in heaven and this is a fact, hope this helps with our sadness. Would love to see that remake Judy... with the happy ending... by.
This is a really incredible miniature documentary. The emotions of everything are almost overwhelming. A brutal reminder that nature is as much brutality as beauty. Well done.
yeah people filming a badger eating baby foxes just for youtube views is very well done. only a piece of shit human could do that just for views i hope your children get eateng by some animal and i will say well its amazing! and film it. oh wait you would think thats is wrong because you are human?? then fuck you, humans are animals too.
@Legend of the Blue Macerator that we gained a glimpse into an adorable family of foxes and saw them grow only to have it snatched away by the cruelty of fate. Two sides of the same coin sadly.
It is not brutality of the nature, but brutality of the people. They could easily dislodge the badger from the hole, yet they prefer filming, like idle bystanders.
Lol that's what I was thinking, the food chain is no joke baby. Ironic how she used the most derogatory term for the woodchucks/groundhogs buy calling them ground squirrels so people wouldn't feel bad for them. I wonder if she called it a groundhog if people would care more that the fox killed it.
Chef Kwaz no I didn’t even know that they were called ground hogs until you mentioned it but still don’t give a shit if they die it’s the same with how many crocodiles are hunted for their scales every single day and people don’t give a shit and then when it starts happening to elephants or rhinos everyone’s loosing their shit saying their going to go extinct
@@luxx_pete8415 that's my point. No one cares about the rodents but everyone cares about the foxes dying. I'm happy the badger got dinner. And don't make a difference to me which animals get killed
TheFistOfShadow but it’s ok to kill pigs chickens and cows because we have been breeding then for so long that the have a higher population then us and cow farts are one of the main things that cause global warming they have no chance of going extinct in the next few years
There's no such thing. Any mammal can be killed quite easily, by just a little pressure to the neck to stifle the blood flow in the carotid. All it takes is the opportunity to get into the right position in order to do it. All badgers have is a bad attitude and very thick skin.
I put this video together because I am a biology teacher. I hoped people would learn something about the wildlife depicted in the movie and care about them. I firmly believe if people care they will fight to protect wild animals and their habitat. Please note this was filmed in Yellowstone National Park where it is illegal, not to mention immoral and unethical, to interfere with animals in any way. Thank you, Judy
It’s every day in the wild. There’s a reason when projecting the carrying rate of an area for a species they always try and figure out the likely hood of the young making it to the reproductive age. Weather, accidents, predators, and often their own males kill the young of all species.
Michae1 I’m the camera person. I didn’t have a clue the badger was going to leave the second hole. That’s what wildlife filming is all about: Being at the right place at the right time and getting lucky enough to have the camera on, the lens focused, the exposure right, the batteries charged, etc.
This whole thing was put together so good ! Thank you for sharing and your narrating voice is really good don’t mind the comments people make on RUclips is full of dark humor but that’s why this is your number 1 viewed video you’re a natural at this !! You should narrate them all it’s bringing me back to the best days of animal planet and nat geo
dont forget that the fox is the villain in another documentary showing the squirrel family, eating away many mom and dad squirrels who went out to bring nuts for their little ones.
+Hattori Hanzo true. I don't see why we should side with one predator over another. I personally like both of them! But gotta do what I gotta do to keep my babies safe, obviously. We all got the same deal. No need to make villains out of ourselves.
remember that we villains in this world who are with unnatural growth beyond natural capacity destroying eco system beyond of self healing. So, we are from outside would look negative entity.
Screw that badger didn’t even work for its meal. If it fought back and got its meal by killing the parents I wouldn’t have a problem but what it did was slip past them while their gone and eat the children and when the fox was fighting it it just ran by the dumb badger deserves death didn’t even fight for its meal that’s my problem.
@@thegreatgamingkid8252What You expect animals to have some pride of a warrior or something? How stupid can you be? "tHeY mUSt kILL pARenTS tO dEsERvE kILL kIDs" it's survival not some Narnian hogwash. And to say "didn't work" it did already.
Michael Garcia the mom knew she couldn’t stop that badger from getting her kits. They’re called “badgers” for a reason. Sooner or later, he would have got them. I think that’s why she bailed. She knew it was inevitable.
@@Mike7mcdonald just like thanos then he realized tony had the stones and thanos died So she could have saved the kits with her life like tony did with the universe
xd_krispy this is not a movie RDJ would never do that in real life just like the mom she knew without the male there is nothing she can do it’s inevitable its nature its the way of life sometimes we win sometimes we lose and this time she was ready for the L
In nature, everything has a job brought upon by instinct. Saying the male was the most unhelpful is a low blow seeing as he was bringing back food to feed the family. It's okay for us humans to label each other with such title's but don't use such trivial words towards the creatures of nature for they are, by design and years of evolution, more helpful than humans could ever be.
how tf is it his fault?? He’s out getting food for the family and has no way of knowing, meanwhile it’s the females job to protect the kids and she just fucking leaves lmao
Frosty AJ Having someone come into your home and kill and devour your kids? That's not brutal? Everyone is eating someone or being eaten by someone; that makes nature brutal. Only man can rise above this cycle.
This one of the saddest stories ever. I know that's it's nature and I eat burgers and pork chops everyday. But I was already getting emotionally attached, seeing them play and everything.
+Judy Lehmberg I was so attached to the little foxes I had nick name for them! Boo Boo and Choo Choo but now the Badger has Boo Boo and Choo Choo in his belly!
They are just as tough in real life as compared to Far Cry lol a badger can take on poisonous snakes, a pack of lions even crack upon a turtle shell with their bite force
Wow, beautifully narrated, very interesting. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting such a sad ending. But there are very few documentaries like this on YT that are personal, visual, and complete. Excellent, and thanks.
@@garythesnail8863 @@garythesnail8863 I hate that "everything happens for a reason". I think there may not be some higher reason why bad things must happen. Mommy why did my dad die. It happened for a reason hunny. This never happened to me but what's the answer? It happened for a reason, God/wateva did it for a reason. Fuck off Mom. Bitch you don't know, it's kind of insulting. I'm extending that line of thought to this vid. Sorry that I used that language, I don't actually care that much.
@@noahpereira5706 I'd agree. But, you're looking at this very surface level. I think when he said it happened for a reason, he didn't mean that. I think he meant it to be comforting.
Remember, in the beginning she told the foxes made their den near the parking lot. It wasn't there before. And likely in the badger's mind they were tresspassing, and a threat for his/her hunting. But of course my heart was on the the foxes' side, because they were the 'main characters' of the story. Then you expect a happy ending. But it's the real world, our candidates don't always win.
@spectre205... The only reason humans are capable of cruelty is because we made up the word.... Humans are animals, your initial assessment was spot on. P.S. You are a human....
Merciless, but not cruel. Those foxes are plenty happy to delete an entire bloodline of ground squirrels. Plus, there's a chance that badger, or it's young will become a cougar's meal...the cycle
The mother finally left the kits because the father, who was SUPPOSED to be out getting food, was getting drunk at the local fox tavern. Just like real people. Way to go, dad.
@@princequestly2218 Well, foxes are smaller than coyotes....Wolverines are much more lethal than badgers....Protecting the young with size and speed on land is basic...Protecting them from eagles and hawks in the sky is a bit different...
Female fox: Honey help me please I beg you I can't fight the badger alone. Male Fox: Don't worry do all the fighting I will stand here and watch and tell your story of how you became a legend.
Being aggressive doesn't mean you have few enemies, being harder to kill than a cockroach is. Even if you grab a badger by the neck, it can swivel it's head and bite you. Only a starving lion or bear would mess with those bastards.
HerpMahDerpFlurpleDumunumuh You wouldn’t be able to. And even if you managed to, it would likely shrug it off and completely mess you up, and that is if it doesn’t kill you.
the shitiest video about animals i have ever seen, just discutsting how people can enjoy the hunt of baby animals, i can see now whats wrong with america quite clearly.
+Kenneth Kamoga Thank you Kenneth. It didn't take any courage to film it because until near the end I never dreamed of anything bad happening to the kits. It did take me a while before I could even look at the footage.
I’ve always loved foxes they had a bad rap for so long my heart was broken for them nature is beautiful and raw but so thankful for the amazing animals we get to see thanks for sharing 🦋
id think the most effective way to ward off a badger would be to stay in the den entrance not allowing passage and biting at it if necessary, until it lost interest.
Oh my friend u know very little about These lil demons. They are ferocious and focused have thick skins and will fight things 25 times it size and can win . Lol a fox standing at entrance is child’s play to a 🦡 badger . He would mock it before charging and killing the adult
nature was never like this you have man and the gods to blame for messing up life and predators should not even exist its man`s creation and doing for the suffering of animals young and old and the suffering of the young and their mothers
@Samuel Phan Your response might be even stupider than his fable about gods. How the actual fuck do you think predators came about in the first place? How do you get predators without prey?
@@jonathanjames471 Nature is cruel and so are you. Suffering is not a "human invention". It is just as real for animals that exited long before humans existed.
i just watched one video showing how cute badgers were, while this one shows their ferocity, i am left reminded how cruel the world can be, i think i watch the ground squirel story next...
Great comment. It is tough, isn't it? I watched a bunch of videos on stoats and felt so terribly conflicted. They are like amazingly adorable killing machines... A cruel and beautiful world, indeed.
@@tammyd.970 What's there to be conflicted about? There's no sense judging an animal by how it eats. It's not like stoats or badgers can just choose to go vegan. Appreciate animals for what they are, I say
@@ups7739 who is judging? I absolutely appreciate animals for who they are, even humans. I think you've misunderstood my comment. Affective response is not a judgement, as it cannot be controlled. Internal conflict is not always about what judgement to give but rather how to assign words of emotion to our feelings. Those of us with a greater sense of empathy may indeed feel conflicted in these such circumstances.
That Badger didn't not seem so ferocious . It just that it is banking on you giving up. If the Fox had kept attacking the badger it would have went somewhere else.
Reading the comments here, some are really funny, and some reminds me of the importance of education and explains the reason behind the popularity of the kardarshians family
Watches as the kit dies “ we will never forgive them.” Edited : damnnnn ok I misheard alright thanks for the 100 though very much appreciated I’m not changing forgive though
@@JudyLehmbergEpicNature all that filming and no thoughts of intervening? it makes this whole video a bit confusing. there would be no need for remembering anything if you had done something sheesh. kinda pathetic
@@Isiah_N If you had bothered to read my comments on many, many other commenters on this you would know this happened in Yellowstone National Park where it is illegal to get within 25 yards of a fox or a badger or interfere with them in any way. If I had interfered I would have been arrested but before that could happen about 50 other photographers would have stopped me because both they and I know, as much as we were really sad about the situation, badgers have rights too. They also have to eat, and feed their babies.
Moral of the story is twofold. Never build a den with no escape exits, imagine if there were escape exits big enough for the kits but not the badger, and also never leave your kids alone when there is a badger nearby. So the genes of a fox who will build a den with no escape routes when there is a badger nearby, and would leave her young in there and go away, will never be passed on.
The second den was dug in haste to get away from the badger, and thus didnt have escape routes like the first den. Also I'm not sure how you expect a vixen to dig kit sized tunnels she cant fit in.

This is an astonishing and honestly presented nature story; one of the best I've seen on RUclips. Firstly, the filmmaker shows and mentions the location - next to a car park, rather than doing what many people would be tempted to do, which would be to make out that it was deep in the forest somewhere. Honesty is always best, but you'd be amazed how much of nature documentary is, at least in part, manipulated, and often downright fake. As a filmmaker I can see when it's fake, and I greatly dislike it. Secondly, she follows the family over several days and shows us their daily lives - the male hunting, the young playing and feeding etc., and gives us interesting information about foxes. At this point, I don't see too many people shedding tears over the lives of the ground squirrels. Of course, up to this point, nobody knew what was going to happen next. When the badger appears, a terrible but natural drama unfolds: the kind of thing that is probably happening all over the world, all the time, but which is rarely captured on film, at least, not as part of a whole story. Quite rightly, neither the camera operator, nor anyone else present intervened in this scenario. For one thing, they had no idea how it was going to pan out, but much more importantly, it would have been disastrous to even attempt to get involved.

Very sad story but I imagine it happens more frequently than we'd like to know. Thanks for sharing.
It’s every day in the wild. There’s a reason when projecting the carrying rate of an area for a species they always try and figure out the likely hood of the young making it to the reproductive age. Weather, accidents, predators, and often their own males kill the young of all species.
This almost never happens!!!!!
Remember badgers don't give a shit.
Miguel Moreno that'd be A honey badger.

Although this is highly educational, I'm just curious how the camera person knew when the badger was about to leave the second hole.
Michae1 I’m the camera person. I didn’t have a clue the badger was going to leave the second hole. That’s what wildlife filming is all about: Being at the right place at the right time and getting lucky enough to have the camera on, the lens focused, the exposure right, the batteries charged, etc.
Nature's justice.
This clip reminds me of that famous expression: "Where does a 25 lb badger sit?" (Answer: anywhere it wants to)
Now we must have badger versus aggressive male grizzlie bear 🐻.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
badger would still win lol
THen WE CAN SEE HIS CHILDREN DIE😡😂
@oof correct....but a wolverine (badger,s relative) can intimitade even a grizzly

Bad badger. Dad should have helped out in the brawl.
He was hunting.
thats why they don't call them goodgers
He was hunting so he didn’t know
Their dad was a Democrat, like to talk up a fight, but then to much of a coward to stay and fight

dont forget that the fox is the villain in another documentary showing the squirrel family, eating away many mom and dad squirrels who went out to bring nuts for their little ones.
+Hattori Hanzo true. I don't see why we should side with one predator over another. I personally like both of them! But gotta do what I gotta do to keep my babies safe, obviously.
We all got the same deal. No need to make villains out of ourselves.

Nature is cruel for sure. I feel for the fox but the badger had to eat too.
Squirrels had a life too.
Screw that badger didn’t even work for its meal. If it fought back and got its meal by killing the parents I wouldn’t have a problem but what it did was slip past them while their gone and eat the children and when the fox was fighting it it just ran by the dumb badger deserves death didn’t even fight for its meal that’s my problem.

The male fox was the most unhelpful male I have even seen. Couldn’t even defend his kids from the badger.😭😭😭
He's not worry since he has the bag of fox seeds built on
Not his job.... He gets the food... Females job to protect kits
In nature, everything has a job brought upon by instinct.
Saying the male was the most unhelpful is a low blow seeing as he was bringing back food to feed the family.
It's okay for us humans to label each other with such title's but don't use such trivial words towards the creatures of nature for they are, by design and years of evolution, more helpful than humans could ever be.
how tf is it his fault?? He’s out getting food for the family and has no way of knowing, meanwhile it’s the females job to protect the kids and she just fucking leaves lmao
That female fox sucked for leaving the kits alone.

@@noahpereira5706 I'd agree. But, you're looking at this very surface level. I think when he said it happened for a reason, he didn't mean that. I think he meant it to be comforting.
That female fox didn't stand a chance against that Honey badger even if the male was helping her fight it, nature is very cruel.
Remember, in the beginning she told the foxes made their den near the parking lot.
It wasn't there before. And likely in the badger's mind they were tresspassing, and a threat for his/her hunting.
But of course my heart was on the the foxes' side, because they were the 'main characters' of the story. Then you expect a happy ending. But it's the real world, our candidates don't always win.
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It's just a small glimpse into how cruel mother nature can be.
Animals behave instinctively, and out of self-preservation. Only humans are capable of cruelty.
@spectre205... The only reason humans are capable of cruelty is because we made up the word....
Humans are animals, your initial assessment was spot on.
P.S. You are a human....
Merciless, but not cruel. Those foxes are plenty happy to delete an entire bloodline of ground squirrels. Plus, there's a chance that badger, or it's young will become a cougar's meal...the cycle
The mother finally left the kits because the father, who was SUPPOSED to be out getting food, was getting drunk at the local fox tavern. Just like real people. Way to go, dad.
Coolidge Dollar sounds like most black families.😂😂😂

Being aggressive doesn't mean you have few enemies, being harder to kill than a cockroach is. Even if you grab a badger by the neck, it can swivel it's head and bite you. Only a starving lion or bear would mess with those bastards.

id think the most effective way to ward off a badger would be to stay in the den entrance not allowing passage and biting at it if necessary, until it lost interest.
Nothing would stop a honey badger even lions can eat them their skin is super thick.

@@ups7739 who is judging? I absolutely appreciate animals for who they are, even humans. I think you've misunderstood my comment. Affective response is not a judgement, as it cannot be controlled. Internal conflict is not always about what judgement to give but rather how to assign words of emotion to our feelings. Those of us with a greater sense of empathy may indeed feel conflicted in these such circumstances.
That Badger didn't not seem so ferocious . It just that it is banking on you giving up. If the Fox had kept attacking the badger it would have went somewhere else.

@@Isiah_N If you had bothered to read my comments on many, many other commenters on this you would know this happened in Yellowstone National Park where it is illegal to get within 25 yards of a fox or a badger or interfere with them in any way. If I had interfered I would have been arrested but before that could happen about 50 other photographers would have stopped me because both they and I know, as much as we were really sad about the situation, badgers have rights too. They also have to eat, and feed their babies.
Sometimes, it gets too real in Yellowstone.
I had my left headphone out and thought I was watching a whole cinematic with subtitles..
Why didnt the foxes hire a lawyer and sue the badger?
They did.
But Honey Badger doesn't give a shit.
Because this wasn't the Fantastic Mr. Fox
Watching the remains of the kits made me so sad :C
Moral of the story is twofold. Never build a den with no escape exits, imagine if there were escape exits big enough for the kits but not the badger, and also never leave your kids alone when there is a badger nearby. So the genes of a fox who will build a den with no escape routes when there is a badger nearby, and would leave her young in there and go away, will never be passed on.
The second den was dug in haste to get away from the badger, and thus didnt have escape routes like the first den. Also I'm not sure how you expect a vixen to dig kit sized tunnels she cant fit in.
