Likened to a ‘Tom and Jerry chase scene’, the fox can be seen streaking across the grass and patio to escape the badger, who appears hot on its tail.
The animals appear to do another lap before disappearing from view.
While Geoff had regularly seen both the fox and the badger separately in his garden, this was the first time he had spotted them together on camera, as reported by Need To Know.
He found the “whole display quite funny”, watching the clip several times and saving the footage.
Despite not being known for being the best of friends, wildlife experts note that it isn’t unusual for foxes and badgers to share habitats such as gardens.
According to Wildlife Online, badgers are typically the more dominant species, while foxes tend to be more cautious, perhaps providing insight into why the fox fled in this encounter.
