Oh dear, did this woodpecker mistake this trail cam for something to peck? Woodpeckers are known for their ability to peck and drill into wood using their strong beaks. There are over 200 different species of woodpeckers, so could it be that this is a new species of bird called the “camera-pecker”?
It’s so close it must be inspecting the lens to see why it’s so shiny. Perhaps it thought it’d find some kind of treat inside. Woodpeckers use their beaks to forage insects and also to drum on wood to communicate with other woodpeckers. It’s quite fascinating that there aren’t many other creatures who communicate this way.
Is That Bigfoot?
Let's be honest, we've all been fascinated by the legend of Bigfoot at some point in our lives. With his massive size, shaggy fur, and mysterious nature, he's like the ultimate celebrity of the cryptid world. But have you ever stopped to think about what it would be like to actually encounter him in real life?
First of all, can you imagine the shock of actually finding camera footage of this towering, hairy creature in the middle of the forest? It's enough to make your heart race faster than a sprinting Sasquatch. Perhaps the most amusing part of encountering Bigfoot would be the inevitable social media frenzy that would ensue.
Coyote Deer Stand-off
This incredible photo captures what looks like a coyote trying to fight off two deer. It looks ready for action as it's baring its teeth and in a position that suggests it's about to pounce. The deer, on the other hand, seem curious about this strange critter. We don't think they've realized yet that it could be a threat.
It's an amazing shot that was probably taken a few seconds before action. Typically, coyotes don't prey on deer this size but they are opportunistic hunters and will hunt a wide variety of prey. However, this coyote is probably not big enough to take down a deer of this size.
Muddy Tiger
This tiger is drenched in mud, probably as a means of cooling itself from the boiling sun. Tigers are known to sit in mud or water to regulate their body temperature on hot days. We're not used to seeing tigers like this — it almost looks like it's wearing a bathing suit.
Tigers have adapted to living in warm and humid environments but they also have thick coats of fur. In case you didn't know, tigers are one of the few cats that actually enjoy swimming. Most cats are uncomfortable in the water and will go to great lengths to avoid it.
Raccoon Riding a Feral Hog
Breaking News: Raccoon Spotted Hitching a Ride on this wild hog! In a surprising turn of events, a raccoon was spotted hitching a ride on the back of a boar in the forest. The raccoon was seen clinging to the boar's back with a determined look on its face as the boar charged through the underbrush.
The boar, on the other hand, was reportedly unfazed by the raccoon's presence and simply continued on its way, occasionally grunting in what some speculate to be approval. We're not sure if this is a new trend or just a one-time occurrence, but we're definitely keeping an eye out for any other unlikely animal pairings. Who knows, maybe we'll see a squirrel riding a deer next!
