How Many Animals Like A Bridge?

Рет қаралды 79,711

Күн бұрын

Last summer I aimed a trail camera at a log crossing a small pool of water in North Florida. I hoped to get video of a bobcat crossing the log, but got so much more! Exactly how much more? The video provides a count of the different animals captured to date.
For sharp-eyed viewers, I should add the camera temperatures in the videos are NOT consistently accurate. Several of the clips captured during the winter months show readings between 0 and 22 degrees Fahrenheit but the actual temps on the days the clips were recorded were right at freezing / in the low 30s. That shared, rest assured the site IS in North Florida! 👍

RockyMtnHighChick, In spite of the long-ago injured foot and what I believe to likely be a hernia (the mass hanging down hasn't ever notably changed size), the bear sow has done remarkably well for quite a while. I've captured her on game cameras for at least 6 years and over that time she's raised several cubs. 👍

I should add that the 10 minute video was put together from MANY hours of captured video, with the animal count only briefly showing samples of each animal. The camera captured HOURS of raccoons hunting for crayfish in the waters of the pool, along with MANY visits from barred owls over the entire time frame. While there have been many trees blown down by past storms in the woods, this log is the only one to date I found crossing a small vernal pool. That shared there is a pond about 100 yards away where many additional animals live and I've been lucky enough to capture some from time to time, such as this one... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fa6bgKSdtdvXho0.html

Wish it were an ivory billed, but it's a pileated. We have quite a few of the pileated around and I hear their distinct calls often. Easiest way to identify it as a pileated is the black wings and darker bill, as the ivory billed had a significant amount of white markings on their wings and nearly white bills. That shared, a river only about 5 miles from my home was one of the last places in the United States that was home to ivory bills. 👍

Pam Galloway, it's definitely something NOT normal for the other bears in the area / unique to this sow. That shared, she's had the bulge as well as the one lame foot for years, managing to successfully raise several sets of cubs during the time frame I've been able to capture her on camera. My suspicion is the bulge is simply an abdominal hernia since it hasn't grown in size over the years and to date hasn't appeared to quickly lead to any other more serious health issues.

@bigbendmarine 2 жыл бұрын

Nightlightabcd, I don't believe it to be a tumor but instead an abdominal hernia as the bear sow in question has had it for years without it showing any additional growth. In addition to the hernia, she has one lame front foot that is generally folded inward but as with the hernia she has managed to survive both issues for at least seven years that I've captured her on different game cameras. Not only has she survived, but she has even raised several cubs during this time and I am almost certain that the state wildlife services would advise letting her be since she has managed both issues for many years now without human intervention.
