Apparently, this otter took his little fish snack in front of the camera. How cute is he? River otters typically feed on fish such as trout, salmon, and catfish, as well as crayfish, crabs, and other small aquatic animals. As we can see here, this otter has sharp teeth for grasping and tearing his prey.
The person who took this photo was probably super excited by it. Otters are fascinating critters and they play an essential role in maintaining the health and balance of aquatic ecosystems. It cannot get any cooler than this little dude feasting on his food right in front of the camera.
Fighting Deer?
These two dear standing on their hind legs almost look like a pair of kangaroos about to knock each other out. We didn't really understand this so we did a little research into this strange behavior, we found that sometimes standing on their hind legs can be a defensive behavior for deer.
Deer may stand on their hind legs, although it's not as comfortable, to make themselves look larger and more intimidating. This can help to deter an opponent or predator and give them a chance to escape. This totally checks out, cause it sure doesn't look like a budding friendship.
Deer & Possum
This trail cam managed to capture a deer encountering a possum. They both just seem to be looking at each other, perhaps they're curious about what the other animal is and what they're doing in their territory. We would run if we were this possum because that deer is much bigger and could cause some serious damage.
Then again, possums are known for dropping to the ground, remaining completely still, and even sticking out their tongues when confronted by potential threats. We'll never know what either of these animals did, but we sure know we wouldn't want to face an animal of any kind when it's this dark.
Dancing Deer?
Could this deer be dancing? At first, we thought our eyes were playing tricks on us. But no, it was definitely a deer busting some serious moves. It's like this deer is in its own world, completely oblivious to everything around it. So there you have it, folks, deers enjoying dancing on their own.
Out of all the animals, we wouldn't imagine deer dancing, maybe birds, but not antelope. Next time you happen to take a hike in the woods, you could enjoy a perfectly normal stroll in nature or you could end up facing a dancing deer. Crazier things have happened, after all!
Mountain Lion On The Chase
This trail cam captured this mountain lion about to pounce on a boar. Can a mountain lion take down a wild boar? We're really curious cause boars are some of the toughest beasts in the woods so we wouldn't be surprised if this boar managed to get away. Then again, so are lions!
Apparently, this trail cam was set up in Florida, which must mean that this mountain lion is actually a Florida panther. What a stunning bit of luck! Florida panthers are critically endangered, they say there are approximately only 160 panthers left in the world, which only makes this shot that much cooler.
