Two bat-eared foxes chasing an aardwolf?

    I'm pretty sure it's an aardwolf, you can see it most clearly in frame three, and I guess the two other animals are bat-eared foxes (they seem to be plain coloured with dark-tipped bushy tails). Having a bit of a squabble, maybe.

    Yes! Those are indeed bat-eared foxes and an aardwolf! This is an amazing set of photos - I doubt anyone on earth has ever seen this sort of interaction before. These are both rather rare nocturnal species.

    That's a great find. Yep, a couple bat-eared foxes chasing an aardwolf.
