Striped skunks are remarkable creatures, not only are they adorable but they’re also known for their unusual defense mechanism, which involves spraying an incredibly strong noxious liquid from the base of their tail. This deterrent allows them to thrive in their environments as it’s an incredibly powerful defense against all threats and predators.
We don’t get to see them as often as other wildlife species due to them mostly being nocturnal animals, plus they’re known for their strong aversion to humans. Besides all that, skunks are pretty cute and while they may not be considered cute by everyone, their unique characteristics can make them appealing to many people.
Santa?
After all of the reindeer caught on camera, you have to start to wonder where Santa Claus had gotten off to. Well, this might finally be proof that he exists, thanks to this random camera set up in someone’s yard in Canada. According to legend, Santa Claus is said to live at the North Pole, which isn't too far from Canada.
Santa Claus is said to spend most of his time preparing for Christmas Eve and delivering gifts to children around the world but maybe he took a vacation during the summertime. Given the demands of delivering presents to children around the world, it's unlikely that Santa would have much time for a vacation during the busy Christmas season!
Raccoons, Assemble!
If you’ve ever come face-to-face with a hungry raccoon, you know that it pretty much will stop at nothing to achieve its goal to eat. In this case, the goal was to reach the bird feeder full of delicious seeds. Like many animals, raccoons can become feisty when they are hungry.
But despite their hunger, these raccoons are working together in the hopes of reaching some tasty treats. Let’s just hope they all got equal shares. After all, they’re each working pretty hard to reach the munchies. Just don't get in their way, otherwise, they might think you're after their food.
Moo-vie Star
This cow looks like it’s doing the over-the-shoulder glance that celebrities like to give the cameras when they’re on the red carpet. She was definitely ready for her close-up when she got caught on this yard cam. Or maybe she’s looking over her shoulder because the sound of the camera startled her?
Cows can be easily startled or frightened, especially if they are not accustomed to human presence or sudden loud noises. Cows are usually docile and peaceful animals if they are treated with care and respect. However, they are large animals and can be dangerous if they feel threatened or cornered.
Marten
This marten thought he could get his hands on some food from this bird feeder. Martens are part of the weasel family, which means they're agile and skilled climbers. As we can see, this Marten can easily scale this tree and reach the bird feeder but he probably won't be interested in the food as they are carnivorous creatures.
The footage of this Marten was taken in by a trail cam in Italy, which means this specific animal is considered an endangered species as their numbers are really low right now. However, other species of Marten, such as the American marten, have much healthier populations and are at risk or considered endangered.
