Stags are known as stoic creatures, silently roaming their territory while showcasing all the dignity that comes with the job of being a majestic deer. However, it looks like they also enjoy letting loose every once in a while, as proven by this photo of this deer hopping in front of this trail cam.
The hopping gait that this deer is using is called “stotting” or “pronking”, and as we can see he’s jumping with all four legs off the ground at the same time. He’s probably in a rush and trying to catch up to his friend. Or it could be that he’s just in a really good mood and feels like pronking.
Masks Off
This trail cam caught something that any homeowner would be terrified to see. Just imagine checking your footage and seeing this creepy…whatever it is. What on earth is this person doing? He probably felt like it would be fun to prank his neighbor and wear a dog mask while posing in front of the trail cam.
We don't know about you, but we would be super freaked out if we saw footage from our trail cam with someone in this mask roaming around our backyard. Note to self.... stay the hell out of the backyard late at night! You never who or what could be roaming around.
A Little Elusive
When we first saw this photo, we were sure that these are a Black Bear and a Grizzly. They have to be, right?! Grizzly bears are larger and more aggressive than black bears, and they have been known to attack black bears in the wild. But it seems like these two are quite friendly towards each other.
It could be that our eyes are tricking us cause that bear almost doesn't look like a Grizzly. Its coat looks a little too shaggy, so we were thinking it could be a Scottish Highlands cow, but that's not realistic in the woods of America, so it must be a Bison.
It's Business Time
Trail cam footage of a fox can be an interesting and educational glimpse into the life of this elusive and often nocturnal animal. But sometimes, it's just footage of an unsuspecting fox doing its business in the woods. Fortunately, the sound of the camera didn't startle this fox, otherwise, he would have run away.
While still mildly interesting, it's not exactly what we expect to see when scrolling through footage. Some might even say that this is the fox's natural display of dominance in order to establish its territory. By doing so, foxes can reduce competition in their area while also maintaining scarce resources.
Creepy Forest Footage
Several people have tried to debunk this trail cam photo, saying that it was either some type of prop, or CGI, but they haven’t quite been able to accurately define what this is. So, what exactly are we looking at? Is it some kind of strange creature we're not familiar with?
We could be wrong but it almost looks like it could be some type of foliage falling from the nearby tree. If it was just a leaf or an acorn or something, then it must be pretty close to the camera to make it look so big. That's our best guess. What do you think it could be?
