Camera traps gallery

A female leopard (Chinga) kindly demonstrates how our camera traps should work!

Wild animals, such as this rhino, are quick to pick up on something in their new environment...

...thankfully this rhino was content with just a sniff!

We capture quite a lot of rhino in our camera traps. Coming...

 

...and going.

 

Unfortunately elephants are renowned for their dislike of camera traps and have tried their best to destroy some of ours. Thankfully, this elephant was content enough just to wander past. Perhaps it was in a good mood after having a dip in the local water hole!

 

Aardvarks are nocturnal and very rarely seen. But our camera traps indicate there are quite a number of these chaps on Phinda.

When we found this camera trap trashed, we naturally assumed an elephant was responsible. It wasn't until we checked the film that we discovered this shot of a very angry aardvark - obviously the camera trap wasn't getting his best angle!


...You may need a slightly different set up if you want to conduct a camera trapping survey on giraffes!

 

Porcupines seem to love having their picture taken...this is one of many!

Another carnivore that inhabits Phinda and is also highly persecuted outside of protected areas is the spotted hyena.

This is the tail of a large spotted genet...

 

...A large spotted genet again...not sure what part!

A bush pig.
