Camera Trap Footage

Hi Callorhinus, I used motion detection cameras to get this footage. I used a bushnell trophy camera which automatically triggers when it detects motion. I hope this helps.

The Bushnell Trophy is the one I use myself :)
 
Just wondered if anyone had seen this series of camera trap films from Sumatra. Being a fan of small carnivores, I particularly liked the linsang, hog badger and marbled cat.

the hog badger was cool. The marbled cat was just like "What? What's going on?". And the tiger was not impressed with the camera at all!!

Awesome.
 
I loved the linked video solely comprising trail footage of a marbled cat - I wish I could see one of those in the flesh!
 
The videos on that channel are amazing! I always look forward to when they upload new videos. The marbled and golden cat are stunning!
 
That Leuser footage was amazing! I can't think of a better reason to not chop down the forests and replace them with palm oil plantations.
 
Here's some black bear footage I have managed to get whilst in Canada. I was really hoping to capture a grizzly bear but having had my camera set up and seen fresh grizzly tracks I arrived to find it had annoyingly been stolen. Hope you like the black bear footage.

Here are some of the winning and highly commended photos from the BBC Wildlife Camera-Trap Photo of the Year. Some very interesting shots and species, including oncilla, kodkod and margay, a Bengal tiger eating a rhinoceros, a horned guan, a moonrat, a spitting sloth bear and a giant pangolin. Perhaps my favourite photo however is of the common genet in Yemen- an absolutely wonderful shot!

Thanks for sharing this. Some very cool species there. The horned guan looks so comical, like an animated bird in a Pixar movie! My favourite is the Jaguar family.
 
Some great pictures there! I really liked the leopard and also the brown bears just because of the backdrop. Here's a short video I captured of a black wolf. I think one had already past in front of the camera but due to a slow trigger speed it was never captured in the video.

I just found this page- camera-trap footage from a colpa (salt lick) in the Peruvian Amazon including daytime shots of a giant armadillo, jaguars, giant anteaters and tapirs. Also I recommend looking at the video below, showing the only handheld video of a short-eared dog that I have ever seen.

that was cool. I liked especially the bit near the end where the researcher checked the camera, and literally two minutes later a jaguar walked past!!

Short-eared dogs are weird. If I saw one scooting off into the bushes I'd think it was a tayra or something like that.
 
Just a quick question. How do set these camera up all over the world Steefo? Wouldn't you have to get special permission to set up camera traps in wild places such as these?

Hi Zooboyabroad,

Sorry about the late reply. In answer to your question I work in wildlife conservation so I've been lucky enough to travel around the world and always take a couple of cameras with me. For example all the Brazilian Amazon footage was collected when I was carrying out my Masters dissertation. Other footage has been collected on public land for example the Canada footage. Although the risk of having a camera stolen is much higher when on public land.

Also the use of camera traps is increasing for wildlife conservation as they are so efficient and require much less "worker hours".

I hope this answers your question.
