#Bears are one of the most curious and explorative animals we capture on our #trailcams. We’ve caught them saying hello to the camera (occasionally even tilting it or knocking it down!), rearranging our bait setups, rolling and rubbing on the bait, and even mating! (1/5)
Our camera sites are set up w/ bait meant to attract the #WolverineTrackingProject’s target species, #SierraNevadaredfox, #graywolf, #Pacificmarten, & #wolverine. #Bears happen to also love this stuff, which is no surprise, given how important scent is to communication. (2/5)
