more from the camera traps

I still have the camera traps set up around here. One is on the trails behind our cabin and another two are on trails being developed into a field station by a university in Quito (USFQ). Here are some recent pics.

Mama coati and her baby!

Finally got some pics of bears! Andean or spectacled bear. So named because they live in the Andes and have white rings around their face that look like eye glasses. This is the only bear in South America.


Some more pics of pumas. I a now convinced that there are LOTS of pumas around here. This one is pooping.

Collared peccary. This was a large group and were sniffing around where the puma pooped, a few hours later. Then the took off!


Red brocket deer. These are pretty small, like a medium sized dog.


Armadillo!

Some more bear pics. This guy was scratching his back. He visits this trail regularly and always seems to scratch his back on this tree. Apparently it's a good one!
