How does a moose take a selfie? By triggering a wildlife monitoring cam, of course.
The BC Ministry of Transporation is sharing some of their wildlife camerasâ best snaps from around the province after this moose selfie caught the staffâs attention.
The ministry notes the staff have seen some pretty fantastic shots on the cameras in the past, but âthis one takes the cake.â
The cams were installed along BC highways to help prevent animals and drivers from crossing paths and to monitor wildlife crossings with motion-activated cams.
âWe use these images to get a better understanding of how animals are using our wildlife crossing and how they interact with each other at these locations,â reads a ministry statement. âWe use this information to improve our crossings and make them useful to more animals.â
Along with the âmoose selfieâ, the stop-action video below of a coyote in hot pursuit of a deer across one of provinceâs overpasses.

âOur wildlife crossings are well used, but animals donât tend to cross paths while using them, instead, they tend to pass each other âlike ships in the night.â,â adds the ministry. âWeâve been observing these cams for years now and this is the first time weâve ever seen anything like this.â
It also added the photo below of a reclusive lynx moving through a part of wildlife fencing.
