Trail Cams That Captured Some Truly Amazing Things
Who knew when trail cams were invented how much joy they'd give back to society? A deer's probably trying to have a private walk in the woods, then, suddenly, is startled by a flash and can make the wackiest face! Then there are the times when it looks like a wolf is posing for the camera. He's likely fully aware of how majestic his fur looks blowing in the wind.
If you're looking for photos of animals caught on trail cams, you've come to the right place!
Just a Deer and Its Barrel
What's in the barrel Mr. deer? This buck found something he likes and has decided to take it. After all, no one's going to brave enough to step up and stop him. Really, it's a perfect crime; the only witness is the trail cam.
With no humans around and hundreds of other deer that look exactly the same, good luck finding this barrel thief in the wild! He's probably halfway to Albuquerque by now.
Deer Party, No Humans Invited
No humans were harmed in the making of this picture. Deers hanging out in large groups in the woods should be adorable, not more frightening then swimming with sharks!
The real question is: what are these deer doing? Did the trail cam just catch them at a creepy town hall meeting? Sorry to interrupt, deer, we didn't mean to intrude. We're just going to walk the other way now and pretend like we saw nothing...
Raccoon Selfie!
This raccoon really took advantage of a great opportunity - it knew there was a trail cam in these woods! It's probably been caught on camera a few times. Now its just posing.
We don't blame it, though. We'd love to take a casual selfie with deer in the background! The only thing this photo is missing a selfie-stick. It's not a true selfie these days unless a selfie stick is involved!
This Looks Like a Surrealist Painting
This picture is real. The blue sky is blown out in the background, and the tiger isn't very well lit, giving the poorly exposed picture a surrealist feel like no other. Normally, we'd be mad to see such an amateur picture taken of nature, but this one is oddly beautiful.
The heat the trail cam was exposed to at the time didn't help, either. The tiger must have been hot, or it wouldn't have dipped half its body in mud to cool down. It's not going to be very happy when all that mud dries.
This Raccoon Called an Uber
Wild Uber isn't just for the buffalo! This raccoon didn't feel like walking to meet its friend, so it called an Uber, instead, and the swine was more than happy to bring it to its destination for a fair rate.
Now that these raccoons are together, who knows what trouble they're going to get into. Their ride should stay close; just in case they need help getting home at 4:00 AM!
A Gigantic Mountain Lion
Whoever saw this image when they were looking at the footage of their trail cam was probably extremely happy they weren't outside when this mountain lion was strolling by!
Spotted in the wilderness of Alberta, Canada, it looks anything but friendly if its sinister facial expression says anything. Needless to say, people probably weren't vying to go on a hike anytime soon after seeing this camera image.
The Chase is On!
We're not sure why this man is chasing this wild dog on the trail or why he's dressed so nice, but we have our guesses.
The most likely one is the wild dog stole something that didn't belong to it... Or this man is just protecting his property. Perhaps he owns a near by farm and spotted this hound eyeing one of his chickens. The last thing anyone would want to do is give away a free meal in this economy!
Like Something Out of a Horror Movie
While it's a shocking image, what's happening to this deer isn't supernatural. It's suffering from cutaneous fibromas, growths that are caused by a species-specific infection typically thought to be transmitted by insects.
Poor thing likely has trouble eating...
