A very cool trail camera video has taken the internet by storm. The location is Southern Arizona, near a local spring. All kinds of animals appear in the footage getting a nice fresh drink.
The person who posted the video noted there had recently been a fire in the area, and fire is excellent for new growth. New plants pop up after a fire, and it provides good nutrition for the nearby animals.
He chose the location because deer and bear tracks were visible within the spring and creek bed. He writes, ‘I was excited about this trail camera setup as soon as I walked away from it. I ended up getting some of my best mountain lion footage yet here!’
Various types of birds appear, as well as a fox, deer, and the elusive mountain lion in night view! There’s even a skunk getting a drink. It is amazing how many animals are nourished from this one small spring.
If you’d ever like to get footage like this, remember to set the trail cam high. Also, you must keep your scent off of the camera. Lastly, place the camera near a food or water source.
The post from user ‘Michael Outside’ features stunning footage of animals in their natural habitat interacting with each other. You never know what you’ll encounter in undeveloped areas of forest and desert.
Nature is impressive, and this minor water source has provided a bird’s eye view into the wildlife of Southern Arizona. These images would be impossible to secure without a successful trail cam. Now, we can all experience these animals for ourselves.
