This adorable and equally hilarious close-up photo was taken of a deer right as he was nearing this trail cam. We can tell that this must be a young deer. Could it be the sound of the camera or the flash from the lens that frightened him, causing this look of shock on his face?
Or maybe they put food on the trail cam to make it come close? It could also look like he is in the middle of chewing. Poor fella was probably not expecting a photo while he was enjoying his meal. We know we’d be pretty ticked off if someone took a photo of us while we were eating.
Moose-ing Around
Aren't moose such interesting creatures to study and observe? With their distinctive antlers that can span over 6 feet across and their incredible size, moose are the largest species of the deer family and one of the largest land mammals in North America. What a treat to capture them on camera.
What's even better is that we get to see them in their natural habitat. They probably have no idea that there's a camera taking photos of them, they're just roaming through the woods. They're usually solitary animals so seeing them together like this could mean that it could be mating season.
Glowing Eyed Buck
This doe looks exactly like a deer in headlights. But here she's been photographed all on her own in the middle of a wooded area. While deer can feed any time of the day, they are also considered dinner for predators so they sometimes prefer feeding at night so they can be alert and ready in case of danger.
It could be that the snap of this camera startled this doe while she was eating, or maybe it was a flash that drew her attention and made her look. Fortunately, it's just a trail cam and not a predator about to pounce. Otherwise, she'd probably be running away to safety.
Bear Selfie
Bears are known for being curious by nature because they're constantly exploring their environment and snooping around. When it comes to their curious nature, it's actually a natural instinct that helps bears survive in the wild. Take this nosey bear for example, he can't help but investigate this trail camera.
What's more, bears have an incredibly keen sense of smell, which is 100 times greater than ours, which means they pick up scents and smells that we wouldn't even notice. Their curiosity can lead them to investigate new smells and sources of food, even if it means taking risks or exploring unfamiliar territory.
Hey Look, It's a Tapir!
Wow! That's one creepy-looking Tapir. The flash made his eyes bright yellow which gives him this incredibly eerie stare. Besides his beady eyes, Tapirs are pretty weird-looking creatures. They have a distinctive snout that resembles a short trunk, which they use to grab vegetation and bring it to their mouths.
Tapirs are found in several regions throughout the world, including Central and South America, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Philippines. All species of tapirs are primarily forest dwellers and require access to water sources such as rivers, streams, or ponds. They typically inhabit areas with dense vegetation, including rainforests, cloud forests, and swamps.
