There used to be a time and a place when taking a picture with a camera was a luxury, and it was only done on special occasions because buying and developing film cost a lot of money. But, now cameras are cheap and no one prints photos anymore – it’s all stored digitally!
With just a flick of the thumb, we can film every second of our existence on devices like smartphones, dash cams, and yes, even doorbell ringers! Trail cameras, on the other hand, are something that most of us generally don’t use or have need of.
But, if you’ve ever wondered what God’s creatures are really up to when no one is looking, then you’re in luck. Here are 55 hidden cameras that caught animals in the act of doing what they do best!
1) “Rob took a selfie at a crazy party last night.”
Rob is having the time of his life at this coed all-nighter. But just wait, by morning he won’t even remember that he took this selfie, or that he drunk texted his ex about getting lucky with a couple of doe-eyed brunettes!
2) “Deer runs from flying squirrel.”
Doesn’t this remind you of that scene from
Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indiana Jones is running away from the huge rolling ball of death? He must have been really scared though, because it looks like he just pooped out a bushel of apples!
@ashytastic:
“You can run, but you can’t glide!”
@Daria B:
“We’re laughing at this deer for running from a wee squirrel, but how do we humans look when we’re running from a cockroach?”
3) “Can you give me a lift mom?”
This is exactly what this clever mama bear had planned all along. She’s using her cute kiddo to get at the forbidden barrel of food, because no one is going to start hatin’ on a teddy bear for stealing, right?
“We have trail cams set up on our baits every year and came across this awesome photo of a mom helping her cub up to look in the barrel for food. By far the best I’ve ever seen! Amazing how they act just like us sometimes! Reminds me of holding a kid up to the water fountain!”
4) “Game camera captures a raccoon party underneath malfunctioning deer feeder.”
It certainly would have been fun to see these thieving bandits knock over the deer feeder like little kids whacking at a pinata! Unfortunately, they didn’t know when to stop and they must have accidentally overdosed on their haul of candy corn.
@Nefertete:
“By the looks of their good health.. I don’t think this is the first time they scored big.”
This foxy mama is pretty smart! By feeding her fur babies under the cloak of darkness, wild predators can’t count how many kits are snacking underneath the table.
@cnggack:
“This fox has 8 kits and I got this trail cam pic of them nursing in front of the den site.”
6) This deer is going to start hating owls in 3…2…
Owls can’t pick up and carry off prey that are heavier than their own weight, but this ambitious little owl must have missed that memo. Either that, or the deer must have cut him off while merging onto the trailhead a few yards back, and this is his road rage revenge!
@rain-dog2:
“This might actually be why deer are so nervous: Owls keep f*cking with them.”
@rednecksteve:
“Owl says to his buddy… Hold my beer watch this shit.”
Oh crap, they caught us! Quick, hide the weed before the hipster hippies find it!
8) Midnight performance by Three Dog Night
Want to know what could possibly give this pack of badass coyotes the heebie-jeebies? Well, check out the pair of eerie, glowing eyes that’s stalking them in the background!
@Terakian:
“I like to imagine that the glowing eyes in the background are from a deer going: oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit….”
@flume:
“Actually, those wolves probably looked at their group photo on wolfbook later and got freaked out that something was watching them the whole time.”
9) “I set my deer feeder high off the ground so the raccoons couldn’t reach it.”
There’s a reason why raccoons have masks around their eyes – it’s because they’re natural born bandits! No matter what sort of contraptions you build to try and stop them, they’re always up for a fun little game of “watch this, a-hole!”
@cruelwingnut:
“Psh, they didn’t even bother to put on a trench coat…”
@glogloglo:
“Haha they’re Staccoons”
10) Raccoon god making it rain food
If this looks a little bit familiar, that’s because it’s already been done before. Mr. Party Raccoon here is trying to re-create the swinging ball scene from Miley Cyrus’
Wrecking Ball video!
@Cherie O:
“Robin Hood Racoon….feed the poor”
@Krish Malhotra:
“Step aside peasants, success coming through.”
As usual, the White Rabbit is late for an important date and there’s no time for hello’s or goodbye’s. But, maybe this Super Mario Bros. pipe will take him directly to Wonderland and shave precious minutes off his time!
Who does this smug little river rat think he is, dining like a king on expensive wild caught fish, while everyone else is left empty handed? He’s like that one jerk in the family who thinks nothing of shoving the entire dinner table into their mouth before anyone else can grab a bite to eat.
@Emma Perkins:
“All species are just like humans; some are pretty awesome, some are major assholes.”
13) Maybe it’s a stag party?
Someone probably should have warned you that this photo is NSFW. But, worry not, because watching the adult animal channel when you’re supposed to be working might actually be a good thing! Now that nerds in the IT department think you’re one of those furry people pervs, they’ll probably invite you out for a drink.
@pokelord13:
“Seems like this stuff is pretty common. Is there a term for it? I’d look it up but I’m to afraid to put ‘deer threesome’ in my google history.”
@nothing_clever:
“You can just see the smug look on the top buck’s face.”
@anonymous:
“That’s a real bang for your buck.”
No one talks about fight club! No one talks about fight club! No one…ah, forget it. I think someone is filming our fight club. Let’s get closer and pretend we’re just kissing!
15) “My friend found his trail cam destroyed, as if someone had stabbed the lens with a screwdriver.”
This was the very last picture the trail cam ever took. What you don’t see is the scene that took place moments before, when this career criminal woodpecker was caught stashing a kilo of cracked acorns inside the hollow of a tree.
@Sammie_SU:
“That’s the face of someone who realises they just got caught. He was probably trying to destroy the evidence.”
16) “My buddy’s motion sensor camera captured this stylish deer.”
All John Deer needs is a little bit of eyeshadow, lipstick, and fake eyelashes. Then he’ll be ready to get up on stage and bust out his famous Drag Deer performance!
@beefjokey:
“Dat weave doe!”
@JediCarson:
“I bet that haircut cost a few bucks.”
@salmon247:
“It’s [called] high fashion, you uncultured doe.”
It’s just Rocket going for a ride on a Harley hog. Next time he’s going to try his luck on a fancy Jaguar!
@The Cappy:
“Is this why hogs are so mean?”
@Rainbow Unicorn:
“I would be…if I had to cart some jerk around on my back all night.”
Yeah, they better stay secret kisses, because these two panthers are actually a brother and sister pair. Let’s not have this innocent midnight grooming sesh turn into a “forbidden date night” book by V.C. Andrews.
19) Is this Dancer or Prancer?
Well, at least now we know happens to Santa’s flight crew after Christmas is over and they all get laid off from work. They go back home and practice walking like people, so they don’t get shot up during deer hunting season!
@Ry_the_night:
“That deer having hands makes me really uncomfortable.”
@Brodius11:
“One word: Skinwalker”
20) “My game cam finally caught something cool.”
Oh boy, that ain’t no Tigger playing with Piglet! Something nasty is about to go down in those woods, and the outcome probably isn’t going to be rated PG.
@PresidentChaos:
“There will be blood….and bacon!”
@Jack Tripper:
“You could say he’s about to go hog wild!”
21) “I’m glad you all came. Now, the reason I gathered you all here…”
Okay, now one of ya’ll keeps forgetting to put the toilet seat down. And now little Jonesy is drinking out of the bowl like he’s some kind of wild animal!
@Kirsa Rasmussen:
“The last supper”
@jevais:
“I truly hope not.”
22) Uh oh, it’s about to get coyote ugly!
These two doe’s don’t look very impressed by this coyote’s ugly face. Next time he should probably bring along a few more doggos to his Occupy Meadow protest.
@Benjy1234:
“Deer’s like, [bleep] please.”
@Red Ruffensor:
“Oh yeah? You and what army?”
23) When the eatin’s good!
Hot dayum that tasted good. I love it when I find some crusty wild caught boogers!
@jilltdcatlady:
“*sees security camera… Watch me pick my nose!”
@Lindsay Ameye:
“Another proof that animals are really just a kind of people.”
24) Surprise, motherfudger!
Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it looks! Rocky J. Squirrel and his new pal Buckwinkle are just filming a scene for a new kids cartoon. They’re actually BFF’s in real life!
25) Wet willies, wildlife edition
Awww, how cute is this! Wild animals are just like us, and they love to neck cuddle and give each other wet willies. Do they also wake up the next morning with a bunch of hickeys?
26) “I swear, it’s like someone is always watching me.”
Let me guess, there’s still a piece of toilet paper stuck to my bum. I hate it when I can’t see what’s behind me!
@Susan Forbes:
“At last, the answer to the rhetorical question: Does a bear shit in the woods? Now we just have to set up a tape recorder and wait for a tree to fall when no one’s around.”
@Catlady600:
“Doesn’t it feel good to just finally know?”
27) “What are you looking at?”
This is not a good angle, I know. But I’m still pretty new at this whole selfie thing! Am I supposed to show a closeup of my awkwardly bulging eyes, or do you want to see me flap my wings?
@Jenn:
“Looks like he’s going to start saying ‘mine, mine….[from Finding Nemo]”
@Charlotte Brine:
“Wrong bird but I do see the same look on it’s face!”
Little Charlie is just chillin’ off to the side, watching all the action without a care in the world. He doesn’t know it yet, but after these two boys finish duking it out, he’ll be on the menu as a tasty appetizer!
29) “Trail cam in India captures a tiger that cooled off in mud”
Look like this beast’s mama experimented with some forbidden rhinoceros love back in her college days! What shall we call this scary new crossbreed?
@Virgil Blue:
“Tiggnocreous”
@pikachu:
“Tino!”
@Mihaela Ilieva”
“Tigerino?”
30) “Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!”
Pbblllllttttt! Don’t tell mom, but last night me and Mary here took a bunch of pictures of our butts!
31) Dammit, Dasher! Step away from my corn.
Looks like Scarface is taking is taking this corn business a little bit too seriously. Doesn’t he know it’s a totally renewable resource? It comes out the other end the day after you eat it. Now, that’s some funny business right there!
@Rebekah:
“… and you’re not playing any of our reindeer games…”
32) I double deer you to come any closer!
When the new neighborhood bully calls dibs on your playhouse, just let him have it. It’s not work risking your pretty little neck over!
33) Hellloooo? Anybody home?
Karen, is that you passed out down there? Oh honey, you’re going to have one helluva walk of shame in the morning when you realize what you’ve been spooning with.
“I caught this Coyote taking a long, hard look down into a Badger’s den.”
34) Easter is officially cancelled!
Sorry kiddos, but this tasty white chocolate bunny won’t be making it to anyone’s Easter celebrations this year. He had more important matters to tend to, like getting caught between this puma’s raging sweet tooth.
35) Whaddya mean, drop it?
Hey, it’s my apple, I found it on the trail back there. I saw a deer that was getting chased by a flying squirrel drop a few of these on the ground. Finders keepers!
36) Hey, I was here first!
Now now, boys, there’s plenty of frozen dinner to go around. Why don’t the both of you just tuck in your wings and quit feather blocking each other!
Heyyyyy there! Thanks for inviting us to this strip club. Do you know when Magic Mike is going to come out and play?
@Mixedupste:
“Been drinking since midday! Lets take a selfie!!”
38) “Caught something interesting on my trail cam.”
Wait, are we playing patty cake, patty cake today? Or do you want to do some cardio breakdance fighting to burn off all those berries we ate earlier this morning?
@Norman van Druten:
“You go in the front while I flank from the right!”
39) “My trail cam caught something sinister behind the house….”
This isn’t your ordinary, everyday trash panda! You better make peace with your demons right now, because you probably only have a couple of days left to live before this one raids your home and eats your soul.
@Maverick rudometkin:
“That Pikachu is going through some dark times.”
@Karolina T.
“And I just planned to go to bed. Nope nope nope!”
40) “Swiggity swooty, I’m hovering for booty.”
If you thought it was hard trying to find a mate, be glad you’re not this lonely stag. Hoverin’ and hollerin’ like an idiot just to get Bambi’s attention ain’t easy!
@DarkChildOne:
“Bibbity boppity, I’m feeling hoppity.”
@CarryOnMyWayWardTardis:
“Swiggety Swoat, I’m doing the creeper float.”
41) “Uh, a little privacy please?”
When you’re on a road trip in the great outdoors, you don’t have to worry about holding it in until you get to the next gas station. Just drop your pants and go!
@Allana Rose:
“I guess u really cant shit in the woods without everybody knowing about it!”
“https://www.thehulltruth.com/9587569-post53.html
42) Raccoon. The other white meat.
If you look at it from this unfortunately little raccoon’s point of view, he was sadly in the wrong place at the wrong time. But from the wild boar’s perspective, protein was definitely on the menu that night!
@Aunt Messy:
“As a reminder – pigs will eat ANYTHING. If it’s breathing, it’s protein to them, and YES people are included. That’s how one serial killer of prostitutes got rid of their bodies for over 20 years.”
@Marty BlackEagle-Carl:
“Well, turn about is fair play, we eat pigs, they eat us.”
Just what are we looking at here? Is this evidence of an alien abduction, or did that owl stop harassing deer so he could move on to bigger game?
@Norman van Druten:
“Screw you Scotttyyyyyyyyy!!!”
44) “On a trail camera in Northern Minnesota…”
Oh crap! Well, I guess that answers that last question about the bobcat in flight. We’ve been blaming aliens for what the owls have been doing right under our noses!
@SgtFury:
“The owl is just being polite. SIR, I FOUND YOUR CAT!”
@shofet:
“We have a couple of barred owls in my neighborhood. We don’t let the chihuahua out at night after the neighbors pekingese went missing.
Oh boy, this crazy ‘coon is really off her rocker! Look at her spreading her legs and being all unladylike with that pole dancing routine of hers.
46) “Checked the trail camera and all I saw were f*cking bears.”
I know, bears are SO yesterday’s boring carnival act! It’s much more fun to watch them when they’re sucker-punching car windows, breaking into bear-proof trashcans, knocking over beehives, and being very bad Winnie the Pooh’s!
@Shaw-Deez:
“I gotta say Bears are doing it right. Smash all summer, sleep all winter. That’s the way to live.”
47) “Take that, raccoon!”
Is this just a fun little game of glow-in-the-dark tag between woodland friends? Or is this further proof that raccoons are actually Satan’s doggos?!
@Markus McCloud:
“Whoever is the owner of the three raccoons, you left your lights on.”
48) “A friend of mine has a plastic deer for bow target practice.”
Well, you have to hand it to this very determined young buck – he’s doing his best to help propagate the species! Unfortunately, he got it wrong on two counts – the “doe” in question is plastic, and it also has antlers, just like him.
@kabanaga:
“LOL! Bucks are not smooth operators, are they?”
Rise and shine everyone! Today we’ll start our sun salutation with “bear reaching for beehive.” Next we’ll get on all fours and do a “downward facing bear” move to stretch the hamstrings. Got it?
@Destiny Rose:
“All I can think of now is Winnie the Pooh walking up and singing while he’s stretching.”
Captured a great series of interactions between these two. In the 1st photo, they appear to be praying or giving thanks for a meal. Obviously, the racoon didn’t realize the bear considered him part ot the menu. In this photo, the bear suddenly leaps toward the racoon. The racoon disappears from the next photo only to sneak back in later photos none the worse for wear.
51) “Don’t test me Mr. Raccoon, I know Kung Fu!”
Guess it’s really true…everyone is Kung Fu fighting! Let’s see if the raccoon can weasel his way out of this one.
@Shelby Young:
“The tables have turned raccoon.”
52) “I don’t want to talk about it.”
That must have been one helluva bachelor party! Did this happen right after the doe popped out of the cake, or did an adult game of Twister somehow go very, very wrong?
@Val:
“I swear Martha, it’s not what it looks like.”
53) “Wait bruh, you forgot the keg!”
Oh geez, the evening has only just started and he already can’t see straight! This stag is going to have one crazy hangover come morning.
They told me that all I had to do was pop up out of the cake and shake my cute white-tailed booty. I didn’t know these stupid stags would try to poke everything that moved with their antlers!
55) “Spider-coon and his sidekick, Deer.”
As usual, it’s the superhero who gets all the attention for saving the world. But, spider-coon would still be on the ground with that loser villain if he hadn’t climbed onto the back of his trusty sidekick!
@Keyz Karanza:
“…Does whatever a spider-coon does…”
