The police department in Gardner, Kansas had locals reporting a mountain lion roaming Celebration Park in the city. After setting up cameras on a trail because of their concerns, they were “Glad to report that over the time they were up we did not see a mountain lion,” as their Facebook post stated.
“We were however surprised by some of the images that the cameras did take.” It would appear a handful of residents found the cameras and decided to have some fun with them. If these black-and-white horror gorillas freak you out, you’re not alone, these photos are pretty strange.
Masks Off
This trail cam caught something that any homeowner would be terrified to see. Just imagine checking your footage and seeing this creepy…whatever it is. What on earth is this person doing? He probably felt like it would be fun to prank his neighbor and wear a dog mask while posing in front of the trail cam.
We don't know about you, but we would be super freaked out if we saw footage from our trail cam with someone in this mask roaming around our backyard. Note to self.... stay the hell out of the backyard late at night! You never who or what could be roaming around.
Oh Deer
What would you do if you were loading up your gear from your hunting trip and you came back to the truck to find this? This buck is obviously feeling bold after making it out of the forest alive that day. Maybe he was looking to hitch a ride to the other side of the forest?
As we've already established, deer are curious creatures and if they don't feel threatened they'll readily explore a new area. Even if it is the back of someone's truck. But a beautiful deer like that better be careful, the driver might be tempted to take him home and make a meal out of him.
Coyote Style
When you've got a trail cam set up in the middle of nowhere, you're bound to find some interesting footage! However, you probably weren't expecting it to be this raunchy. It’s not enough that these two coyotes got caught in the middle of their intimate encounter, but they’re also both staring directly at the camera.
Nature can get pretty explicit, we just weren't expecting it to get this explicit! The flash of the lens or the sound of the camera must have caught their attention, making them look right at the camera, almost as if they are posing for it. Give the dogs some privacy!
When It's Raining
We've all wondered what animals get up to when it rains outside. No sun? No stress! Storms won’t dampen the spirits of this black bear. Even when it might be too rainy to hunt, there are still plenty of opportunities to fish. Whoever said fishing in the rain wouldn't be fun?
Bears live for the thrill of wrestling the behemoth sea monster on the other side of the lure. So when it comes to fishing, it would appear that it is a no-brainer any time of year. Come rain or shine, bears are always ready for a quick dip. Especially if it means they can get a tasty reward.
