The American honey badger is what I think of them as. :D

It's a lynx, and we don't kill any wildlife

Haha definitely

As a sasquatch i can tell you we lack proper vocal chords, and more like gorilla we make clicks and gruff sounds.

Yes! We call him Two Socks

@@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon excellent! but it would still be interesting to make a small warning at the beginning or at the end of the video to make the public understand that "camera trapping" is an increasingly popular activity and that feeding to attract animals in front of the cameras is not recommended except in exceptional cases - here below is the text that I now use at the end of my own videos. How to adopt ethical behavior for the practice of this new activity of "Camera Trapping" in order to appreciate the behaviors of your local fauna and the wealth of ecosystems you frequent. 1. It is important to avoid baiting animals even by moving Carcasses of dead animals. By doing so, you will be able to observe a greater variety of animal behaviors and contribute to prevent conflicts between major predators. Anyway you You quickly tire to see the same repeated behaviors. Observe an animal move, hunt and delimit its territory is much more captivating than just seeing it eating. 2. If possible, access your foot cameras traps rather than in vehicle motorized. You will stay in better fit fitness while disturbing Less ecosystems. 3. Space as much as possible the visits and records of your cameras. Wildlife will remain quieter and gradually gets to The equipment. Animals will become less fearful as The camera will lose your smell. 4. Avoid placing your cameras near the low-animal sites, such as den fox and coyotes. Your cameras and your presence may disrupt animals and push them to move, endangering their offspring. Hold a distance of at least 250 meters from these sites; The little ones will cross Inevitably your cameras at some point. In addition, avoiding to place them near these sites, you will avoid accumulating hundred similar videos unnecessarily on your memory cards. 5. Enjoy your forest walks, especially in winter, to do A little tracking and thus identify the displacement schemes of the predators such as wolf, coyote, bobcat, fox, marten, otter and fisher. This will allow you to strategically place Your cameras and get unpublished videos. 6. If possible use cameras with invisible infrared sensors For some more suspicious and sensitive animals, such as fox. 7. Act with civility by requesting authorization to the manager or Owner of the field to install your cameras. Then share your videos with them, they will be just as delighted as you to discover This remarkable biodiversity.

By having to climb to the bait, it's more likely that the animal will leave behind some genetic samples (aka fur). The fur helps us identify the individual animal and helps paint a picture for abundance and distribution across the landscape. These bait stations are in remote areas accessed by snowmobile and then often snowshoeing, and our team isn't able to replenish the stations often. This is all part of an ongoing rare carnivore research project that has provided some critical data for land and wildlife managers, and our data was used in the decision to list the wolverine as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act last year. You can learn more at www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores

The good news is that our data set was used to make the decision for the wolverine to be listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act last year! You can learn more about the project at www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores

If the bait wasn’t nailed down you would never see this on video.

@ thanks

Glad you enjoyed it! We're a conservation and education nonprofit, and we're having our Wild for Wildlife match campaign through the end of the month if you feel inspired to support us and our efforts! www.swanvalleyconnections.org swan.app.neoncrm.com/forms/donate

Amazing! Not many people can say that haha

The photographer was using a large telephoto lens

Glad you enjoyed them!

I was also wondering that. I'm guessing the loud one was territorial, and the softer one might've been to call her cubs. That's how it is with leopards & lions.

@ Good points. Thanks!

weird cross between a cats m,eiow and va lion roar but then it was scant marking

thank you!

Wolverines are awesome.

Wolverines are so Rare to see except perhaps on a trail-cam. Thanks for sharing!

public

us too

Hello! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! The bird's eye view is pretty spectacular
