A fox and a badger fight in Yellowstone - the whole story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 фев 2015
- A pair of foxes built a den in the northern part of Yellowstone and had 2 babies. Here is their story.
BEFORE YOU THINK ABOUT LEAVING A NASTY COMMENT PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING. 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. That's how nature works whether we like it or not.

![Snake Killers: Honey Badgers of The Kalahari [Nature Documentary]](/img/tr.png)
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.
@@thailandwild4897 Hopefully!
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.
Those ground squirrels hired the Badger as an Assassin
Sean Peyton set the bounty.
With what currency?
Zomagedon baby fox
@@Z-A-C honey
Zomagedon fox meat
When you're having a family crisis and the neighbour deer and humans show up to spectate...
Neighbor big horn sheep.
"deer"
They can’t interfere man last time they did the fox became half human. Don’t ask
Lmao yea those sheep are like that nosy bitch down the street who calls the cops on the kids for playing with nerf guns lmao
It’s like my friends when I’m playing a game and they barely help
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..🚫🚭🚷
Deadbeat as dad. Had they double team that badger, their pups a still b alive!🤷♀️
@@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.
foxes don't look real
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.
Thank you Andrew.
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.
Nature must be brutal to remain beautiful, and some of its beauty is its brutality.
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.
Thought I was just going to see a fight, not a funeral.
***** Did you miss the fight? I showed you what happened, not some Disney version of what I would like to have happened.
Judy Lehmberg No, there's no way somebody can miss the fight... was just saddened at the kids being eaten, after seeing a nice little family show.
***** 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.
***** Check back in a week or two. I will try to get one done for both of us.
Why does this narrator sound like she’s about to call me sweetcheeks and asking me if I want more coffee.
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.
Judy Lehmberg alright sweetcheeks
Judy Lehmberg I’ll send you money to buy a sense of humor
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.
Judy Lehmberg I’m joking I meant no harm, if I offended you that much I’m sorry, but then maybe you should turn comments off
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!!!!!
Badgers are like little tanks. An Unstoppable force. Doesn't take no for an answer.
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.
Lol
@@medexamtoolsdotcom go record yourself doing it to a badger lol
@@colecampbell1906dude is Mac Gruber with the throat ripping technique lol

The lady narrating has a problem with the male fox.
daddy issues
I thought I was the only one to feel that way LMAO
Well, in all honesty, two versus one badger would have changed everything. I think he was stupid.
@@mrchordstriker would have changed nothing. Badgers take on lions and make it out alive , they are hard motherfuckers
Geo L You do realise they mostly win against juvenile lions that are practicing hunting?
The narrator sounds like tree trunks from adventure time
Holy shit you just opened my eyes

Incredible and emotional mini-documentary. Felt attached to the little guys too.
Fox killing some ground squirrels
Everyone: Hmm, thats ok
Badger killing two foxes
Everyone: KILL THE BADGER !!!!
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
@@luxx_pete8415 or like you know.. the pigs, chicken and cows we eat every day.
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
My left ear found this story rather sad.
Hahah
LoCloud7 Inexperienced people always almost always record mono mics in stereo.
+Blake.... I Like Hedgehogs.... there was music?
What happened to the audio
+LoCloud7 LOL
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.
This clip reminds me of that famous expression: "Where does a 25 lb badger sit?" (Answer: anywhere it wants to)
That's why you never leave your kits unsupervised.
Bylatt
Cyka
If only male fox first aid kits
If both mom and dad were there mom could leave and let dad look after kitz
Too bad the kits died
Mum : leaves new home
Tells kids to stay out of trouble and be safe
1 minute later badger comes
Badger: hey kids I got wifi
Kids: come in

Thank you Jo Len!
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.
+David Stewart I agree with you David. I still think about them.
+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!
Dang you eat burgers and pork chops EVERYDAY?! YIkes
+David Stewart Yeah Foxes are beautiful creatures.

The male Fox was out drinking and chasing single Vixens while his Den was under attack.
i thought he is the one who is bringing in the food while the female nurses.

Thank you!
No problem!
Excellent story telling. I loved it, even though it was heart breaking in the end.
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

Ur voice is great nothing is wrong with it I don’t like my voice much either but not one damn person on this planet sounds like me so for that reason alone my voice is powerful and unique yours is too so talk as much as u like
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.
and the squirrels are the villains in the documentary about the nuts

The circle of life. The fox has done the same thing to tons of creatures in her day.
lol right she know the deal
NICK G yup
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.
I wish foxes were more ferocious, almost like wolves.
@scsyc bxcvbx lol why what's wrong with foxes??
Do you realize how many foxes there are in North America?(I honestly don't think anyone does, but it's a shit-ton) We have a family of foxes living no further that a quarter of a mile from our house, here in the Ozarks Hell, my sister wouldn't be able to let her dog go out and "potty"!
This awesome narration is what i need in my life. I am subscribing.
I’m going to tell my kids that this was Lion King
Chase Johnson mate your not funny
Chase Johnson imma tell mine that this was fox & the hound

Sometimes, it gets too real in Yellowstone.
There is one immutable truth about life: It is oftentimes more cruel than it is fair.

😂😂😂😂😂😂
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

So sad for the foxes. Mum shouldn't have abandoned them.
That was a really small badger too. But you just can't beat their digging ability...

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 🦋
My baby girl Mag.. A 6 month old magpie was just slaughtered by a fox. Team badger all the way.
Foxes have a bad rap? Coyotes exist, you know?
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
DONALD cooper lol
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.
They should all go vegan lol

There is a hungry badger next door make sure not to let him in kids. I'm leaving bye kiddos
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.

So she could have saved the kits with her life like tony did with the universe

"Stop badgering me"

@@thatguypal9955 Except they can't. It's not their place to decide what happens. Mother nature is going to do what mother nature has always done.
Tell it to the chickens
I am devastated and my night is ruined, thank you
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.
Even Though This Was Sad, It Was Quite Interesting To Know The Patterns Of Everyday Life For Foxes

Hi Judy! Just found your channel with this video recommendation. I thought this presentation was very well done, and I appreciate the hours, days, and months it took to present your story.
But in reading some of the comments, some folks can be butt-wipes, plain and simple. Big tough people when they can hide behind the screen, but butt-wipes in person. So toss them off to the side, and enjoy the appreciative comments of those who understand your journey, and are grateful for sharing it with us. Thank you very much!
PS: I figured the vixen would have ripped that badger up one side and down the other, but I truly had no idea how vicious a badger could be; heavy sigh.
Even bullies in the animal kingdom. Don’t think she would like her babies taken . Life !!!
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...
@@thomasboushier2972 Wolverine, Honey Badger and Tasmanian Devil are vicious af.
@@princequestly2218 Extremely intelligent too. Wolverines and Honey Badgers have literally documented using tools.
Fox be like: why do I hear boss music?
It would be easy to think of the badger as the villain in this situation, but as you say Judy, that's how nature works whether we like it or not. Fox eats the squirrels, badger eats the babies. Life is tough. Fascinating natural footage though.
I live in the centre of London and often see foxes at night. They can be quite noisy sometimes. Our foxes have shorter coats than the ones seen in Yellowstone, but are otherwise virtually the same in appearance.
Our red fox was imported from England. Yellowstone foxes have long, thick fur because winters are cold and long.
Bad parenting, the mom shouldn't have left the kids when even the dad was out hunting.
A human giving parenting advice to a fox. Now I have seen everything

Sorry. I was new at making movies when I edited this.
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.
Very well explained very good voice too
Humanizing foxes. Oh, boy. What's next? A pity party for the squirrels?
