Smithsonian Wild
Smithsonian WILD! highlights the incredible diversity of wildlife that exists in a range of habitats across the globe.
The use of motion-triggered ‘camera traps’ has become an incredibly useful tool for scientists to answer a huge range of intriguing conservation & ecological questions. Fascinating insights.
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 – a glimpse into an animal world that is rarely seen by anyone. Follow the trail of interesting animals, finding out about them, their habitats, and what is being done to conserve them.
