A Passel of Wild Hogs
Have you ever heard of a wild hog party? Well, let us tell you, it’s a sight to behold! Whoever owns this trail cam was in for a pleasant surprise when they saw the footage from their latest tape. He found a whole passel of wild hogs, grazing close to his backyard.
Most of the time, it’s difficult to find this large of a group. So if you’re ever out in the woods and hear a bunch of grunting and squealing, don’t be afraid. It might just be a passel of wild hogs, quite similar to this, having the time of their lives.
Giant Deer Buffet
It looks like the deer family might be celebrating a special occasion as they feast in the middle of the night. We were quite surprised to find out that deer are actually nocturnal and they only occasionally venture out during the day. They don't seem too happy about being disturbed, though.
The white-tailed deer, like other wild deer, is herbivorous and feeds on a variety of plants, grasses, sedges, leaves, and shoots of trees. They were probably happy to find something different on the menu. It looks like it was set up in front of the trail cam to see what animals are roaming through this wooded area.
So Who's the Thief?
Possums are often considered "rascals" because of their mischievous and cunning behavior. Here we have proof of that behavior in the form of this picture of them enjoying grapes in someone's garden. It's important to note that these behaviors are natural adaptations that have helped them survive in their changing environment.
Possums are nocturnal animals that are often active at night as we can see, and they have adapted to be very good climbers and scavengers. This little fella probably thought it'd struck a gold mine when it found these grapes on a vine. However, the owner probably wasn't too pleased.
Creepy
So apparently, there are scarier things in the wild than just wild animals. We are not sure what in the world is the animal that was caught riding this wild board. How did it get here, and what is it doing hitching a ride in the middle of a forest?
When looking a little harder, it almost looks like it could be hanging from the tree. Whatever it is and whatever it's doing, we don't really need to know, it's not going to change the fact that it's by far the creepiest thing we've seen so far, and we've seen some scary stuff!
Cougar Time
This cougar looks like it's been hitting the gym and now has boulders for shoulders! This trail cam took this footage in Northern Alberta during the summertime. Finding a cougar on a trail cam can be exciting for wildlife enthusiasts or researchers as it provides an opportunity to observe these elusive creatures in their natural habitat.
Cougar sightings are relatively rare, and trail cams can capture images of cougars without disturbing their natural behavior. However, it's essential to remember that cougars are wild animals and can pose a potential danger to humans. So, if you come across a cougar, it's best to give it plenty of space and avoid any sudden movements or loud noises.
