Florida Officials Need You to Identify Animals Captured on Trail Cameras

It requires only a few minutes per day.

This is intriguing - a mother brown antechinus (Antechinus stuartii) carrying two babies on her back. My understanding is that babies were being born back at the beginning of February, so I’m surprised to see them still being carried four months later.

This is the sort of shot I’ve been trying for with my camera-trap. I hadn’t realised the phenomenon went on so long.

And I’m pretty sure this is a brown antechinus (Antechinus stuartii), hunting for insects on the underside of a fallen tree in forest on Sydney’s northern fringes.

I love the way it defies gravity, hanging from the bark by its finger-tips.

Apologies for the flicker - it seems to be a common failing in the infrared lamps in these trail-cameras.

Appears to be a long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta), captured on one of my trail cameras on Sydney’s northern fringes.

For the last nine months or so, I’ve had this trail-camera focused on a log crossing over a stream, and have been surprised to find that very few mammals seem to use log crossings around here.

I’ve now moved it to this small island in a swamp, and have come up with bandicoots and bushrats on first attempt.

This is a swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) that wandered into my camera-trap set-up, and was captured on video on the trail-camera.

Swamp wallabies are always triggering my trail-cameras, and I have many camera-trap photos of swamp wallaby butts - but what was interesting about this one was that it appears to yawn.

I think this is an older female. She has a pouch, but also some bald patches on her face.

Trail-camera video of a bandicoot that wandered into my camera-trap set-up over the last fortnight. Unfortunately the batteries had already failed on the camera-trap, so I didn’t get any photos to accompany the black-and-white video.

The flicker appears to be a common problem with the infra-red illumination on the trail-cameras.

For my camera-trapping, I have been scouting a location where a log crosses a creek, on the assumption that a wide range of wildlife should be funnelled into the bridge across the natural barrier.

While my trail-camera was in place on the log over the last few weeks, the creek flooded in the rain, and I think I may have caught a glimpse of a rakali or water-rat (Hydromys chrysogaster), working its way up the flooded creek.
