Smithsonian Wild, digital photos displaying the movements and behavior of animals.
"...The use of motion-triggered 'camera traps' has become an incredibly useful tool for scientists to answer an enormous range of conservation and
ecological questions.
Researchers attach these unique cameras to posts or trees, often along
forest trails, and when a camera's sensor registers an animal's body
heat and movement,
a photograph is taken. The studies highlighted here demonstrate the
range of applications of this method, and how these cameras give us a
glimpse into an animal world that
is rarely seen by anyone.
You can search the site by following the trail of interesting animals
or the lure of diverse sites around the world..."
