A playful coyote and a no-nonsense badger met in front of a trail cam in Santa Clara County, California, and then they used a wildlife crossing together. Or, maybe the badger coerced the coyote a little bit. Regardless, it’s a good thing the crossing is there, because it kept both animals safely off the road.

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (SCVTA) recently shared trail-cam footage of the two animals’ chance encounter on Instagram. The organization noted that: “In Santa Clara County, even coyotes and badgers know how to commute safely.” (Ha!)
