Incredible camera trap photographs from our worldwide community…

From photographer @vladimir_cech_jr. We have an up From photographer @vladimir_cech_jr. We have an update on his project "Harimau" in Indonesia on what it seems to be the second and third high resolution pictures of the wild Sumatran tiger. The tiger has also visible injury on his front right leg/paw. 

3/2022 ... "I returned in March of the following year and collected the remains of no longer functioning traps - mostly fortunately only because of the discharged batteries. I decided to leave two sets in the border zone of NP G.Leuser and take the remaining two to the area of Hadabuan Hill, where a real expert of the Sumatran tigers and the rainforest itself - Haray Sam Munthe - will help me with the setup." 

6/2022 ... "After 315 days from installation, two news came from Sumatra - good and bad. The good is that the tiger came ... the bad one, that he came from wrong direction."

"In this image I was able to capture the beauty of the lady of the forest, the genet, it is rare to see genets in the daytime, but this specimen uses the trunk to pass from side to side of the mountain as a small river runs underneath."

"As a nature lover I often walk in the wilderness, on december 2021 I spotted some footprints that had to be from a Mountain Lion, I decided to place some trail cameras and a couple of months later a DSLR with a camtraption system, I just needed some luck.” 

“On June 2022 I finally got a picture, actually is my first picture ever taken with a camera trap, I'm so happy with it"

"Last year was my first year utilizing DSLR camera traps and didn't get them deployed in this area until late August. This year I was able to get them up in May to be able to watch the bull moose  grow their antlers throughout the summer months."

Following strict safety protocols photographer @ma Following strict safety protocols photographer @marcelhuijser has focused his camera trap on this tree where at least two very large grizzly bears visit, two black bears, and a mountain lion.

“Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) at a bear rub tree, Montana. The animal is very wet from the rain, and you can see the rain droplets in the air because of the flash. You can also see how wet the tree is from the bear rubbing against it. The trees are western red cedar (Thuja plicata), a climax species in the Pacific northwest that extends its range into Montana.”

“Image made with a DSLR camera trap (sensor, camera, external flashes), including camtraptions equipment.”

Photographer @tiborlitauszki_naturphtgrphy sets hi Photographer @tiborlitauszki_naturphtgrphy sets his camera trap in the forest capturing amazing images like this one of a nocturnal badger. 

“The photo was taken in March this year. I found a place in the woods where I thought the badger was actively moving. I watched his movements with a wild camera for several weeks. And finally, I set up my camera at the planned location with the camtraptions v3 motion sensor. This photo was successful on the first try. I am very happy about it!”

Based in the forests of North America, photographe Based in the forests of North America, photographer @zackclothierphotography capture this image of a mountain lion using @camtraptions equipment. 

“What's that smell?!? A male mountain lion pauses for a brief moment while returning to feed on the remains of a deer cached under the snow on a winter night in Montana.”

“The cat is displaying what is known as the flehmen response. These large cats, like many other mammals, have a special organ that we don't called the Jacobsen's organ. It is an olfactory sense organ located in the roof of the mouth that is used to detect chemical stimuli, such as pheromones left behind by females scent marking.“

Thank you Zack! Be sure to check out Zack’s amazing work on camera trapping 👏

Photographer @aiko.sukdolak took this photo of a f Photographer @aiko.sukdolak took this photo of a fox on an urban background. 

“Fox leaving a wildlife underpass under a federal road in Lower Saxony, Germany.”

“One of the leading causes of death for wildlife is road traffic. Fortunately, there are now some ways to protect wild animals: underpass as shown in the picture, wildlife bridges (which are relatively rare in Germany), fences and systems to deter wild animals so that they don't even get close to the road or the Drive away animals only when cars have been detected by the system.”

“Nikon 7000 Tokina AT-X 124 PRO DX 12-24mm F4(IF) ISO-400, 12mm, -2/3eV, f/11.0, 1/160s, 3 External flashes and camtraptions wireless trigger V3 (PIR)”

"This image was captured on the outskirts of Corbett National Park in India. I had setupset up the camera-trap with a 14mm lens to capture the entire Tiger in the narrow trail of the forest.”

“But the Tiger had other plans, it decided to come close and inspect the camera trap when I was bestowed with this unique portrait which captured the curious expressions of the Big Cat."

Nicely done Mayuresh 👏

“This photo was taken now the first days of may at the coast of northern Norway, a place called Lødingen.”

“The otters regulary visit freshwater pools, to clean sea salt out of their fur- and here the otter is on its way out of the pool after having a dip.”
 
“I used a Nikon D7000 and a Samyang 20mm f1.8 lens- placed in a Camtraptions housing, and triggered wireless with the Camtraptions V3 PIR sensor.
One Nikon SB28 flashgun provided a little fill light”

Photographer @olamaddams persevered and finally ca Photographer @olamaddams persevered and finally captured this image beautiful of a badger.

“I've had this idea in my head for over a year to capture a fox or a badger amongst the bluebells. All I had to do was wait for Spring to come and find a spot in the nearby woods where an animal path created a nice opening in the sea of bluebells!”

“I set up two flashes (one at 1/32 and the other at 1/16 power) at a 45 degree angle from the camera, attaching them to nearby trees. I set my camera to ISO 800, f/8, 1/100s which would work well for both shady daytime and night. I set the Camtraptions PIR sensor to take 3 consecutive shots every several seconds whenever the sensor was triggered. It took 4 nights to get this particular shot.”

“Camtraptions gear used: PIR sensor, camera case, wireless transmitter and receivers.”

Photographer @rob_g_green captured this image of a Photographer @rob_g_green captured this image of a wolverine in Montana as part of a project.

“This photo was taken as part of a long-term rare carnivore monitoring program that happens in the Southwestern Crown of the Continent, an area in Montana that’s roughly 1.5 million acres of communities, ranches, forests, mountains––not to mention remarkable wildlife habitat.”

“Field scientists ride high up into the mountains to monitor changes in carnivore populations to better understand lynx and wolverine distributions, all while collecting genetic material at research stations that provide important baseline information about the species (individual identification, sex, sub-population genetics, etc.). In a nutshell, researchers hang bait in trees above wire brushes, and when a species like wolverines approach the bait, some of their fur is snagged on the brush for scientists to collect and analyze. The resulting information can then be used to identify “hotspots” where more intensive research could be conducted and raise community awareness about the importance of forest conservation.”

"Female jaguar from northeastern Mexico, photographed near the NE limit of the species' range using the Camtraptions PIR and housing; the jaguar has lost already a bit more than 50% of its range throughout the Americas and is threatened by the destruction of it habitat, illegal retaliation hunting after real or suspected killings of domestic animals, illegal recreational hunting and, starting a few years ago, poaching to supply the recently-born demand of claws, teeth and other body parts in China."

Thank you Carlos for this amazing image and reminding us that we need to protect these beautiful endangered creatures. The queen of the forest 🐆
