This trail cam caught the perfect close-up of this black bear chomping on a snack. These impressive creatures can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh up to 600 pounds! They are known for their sleek black coat of fur and their curious, playful nature. It’s great seeing one this close.
But we certainly wouldn’t want to encounter one in the wild. As cool as black bears are, it’s important to remember that they are wild animals and should be treated with plenty of space, respect, and caution. Otherwise, you could be the snack this bear is chomping on next.
Deer Taunt
Is the deer making fun of us and sticking its tongue out? We can almost hear her giggle to herself as she pulls this funny face for the camera. Maybe she thought the camera would be a tasty treat and provide some variation to her diet of plants and grasses.
If this trail cam belongs to a hunter, this deer might want to watch where she places her tongue and instead run for cover. It sure makes for a silly picture though! Whoever found the footage from this trail cam was probably delightfully surprised to see this cheeky deer sticking out her tongue.
Cat and Fox
This trail cam captured this unsuspecting cat while a fox seems to be drawing closer to it. It is quite unlikely that this cat and fox would form a friendship. While both are carnivorous mammals, they have different instincts and behaviors that could prevent them from becoming friends.
Cats are typically solitary hunters and may view a fox as a potential threat to their territory or food source. Foxes are social animals that may view a cat as prey or competition for resources. However, these two might just be getting used to each other enough to at least tolerate their presence.
Howling
These howling animals are neither foxes nor wolves. They are coyotes, in their full glory. Coyotes are known for their howling, they do so primarily as a means of communication with other coyotes. Fun fact: Coyotes typically howl more frequently during the night due to the fact that they are more active at night and that their howling is more audible in quiet environments.
They sure look badass, howling in unison. Thankfully, someone caught it on their trail cam and shared it online. But coyotes are not the only animals that howl at night. Wolves, dogs, and even some bird species have been known to howl as a means of communication with their own species.
Bear With a Mouthful
Bears in North America are known to hunt fish during the salmon spawning season. Plus, bears are known to be good fishers, as you can see in this photo. That looks like a decent fish and this bear must be excited to eat his lunch, he's certainly earned it.
Being a bear in the wild can be challenging and definitely unpredictable. But it must be great to live wild and free. While it's probably much harder to look for nourishment, it must also be satisfying when you do manage to catch something. There's nothing like enjoying a meal you've worked hard to get.
