A motion-activated camera near Boulder in the USA provided a surprise for the officers monitoring the activities of wildlife .

When a curious bear near Boulder in the US state of Colorado encountered a motion-activated wildlife camera, it triggered hundreds of “selfies” according to authorities.

Of 580 images, around 400 were of a bear, reported NBC News.

“In this case, a bear was particularly interested in one of our wildlife cameras and took the opportunity to take hundreds of selfies,” said Phillip Yates. “These images made us laugh.” More on the topic Wildlife.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: In our dossiers on recreational hunting gather fact-checks, analyses and background reports. What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.

The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
