What are we actually viewing in the video: 

One may view the video and assume that the coyote and badger are friends but it is more of a partnership to find food sources. The relationship between the Coyote and the Badger is a type of symbiotic relationship. A symbiotic relationship is a relationship or interaction between two different organisms where the  relationship can be mutualism, commensalism, predation, parasitism and competition. The coyote and badger have a mutual symbiotic relationship because both the coyote and the badger benefit from their relationship. The coyote and the badger hunt together. As the badger drives small animals out of the ground and the coyote uses their speed to catch the animal as it comes out of the ground.
