[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Two predators playing together.

Posted: 5/21/2004 1:32:42 PM EDT

I saw something interesting the other day. I was out showing my Dad the property line when we came upon an eagle sitting on a fence post. Looking closer we saw that there was a fox hanging out by the fence post that the eagle was purched on. We got out of the car to get a closer look and they both sat there for a minute. The eagle got uncomfortable with us being that close so it took off flying for another fence post. As soon as the eagle swooped down to fly the fox jumped up a bit trying to swat the eagle. The fox missed and began running just under the eagle as it flew. Once the eagle made it to the other fence post the fox once again just hung around the fence post.

Has anyone else seen two predators hang out together like that?

I've seen hawks and snakes playing with each other, but I think it was more tragedy than comedy.

I've played with bobcats, foxes, and coyotes, too, but again, it was more tragedy than comedy.

I don't want to klnow what sgtar15 was doing with the raccoon.

Fox was probably bird dogging the Eagle, hoping it might lead it to some carrion.

I saw a coyote and a doe with two yearlings playing together, and I wasn't the only one on the trip that saw them all together.

They played awhile before the bear ate it ..........
