🐿️Wildlife Wednesday: Eastern Chipmunks!🐿️They are in full prep mode! They’re stuffing their cheek pouches with seeds + nuts to stash underground before winter. Unlike true hibernators, they wake up occasionally for a snack. #WildlifeWednesday #NYSWildlife #snapshotny

🦌 Wildlife Wednesday: Moose are the largest members of the deer family, and around 600–700 roam northern New York (found mostly in the Adirondacks)!

🦊 Wildlife Wednesday: Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes)!

Clever, curious, and found across NY! Red foxes are easy to spot by their white-tipped tails and black legs.

🦨🦊 Snapshot NY caught a skunk + gray fox face-off! The fox backed down… smart move. Fun fact: skunks’ Latin name Mephitis mephitis means “stinky stink.” #WildlifeWednesday

New York’s got fat bears too! 🐻🍂 While Katmai celebrates #FatBearWeek, our Snapshot NY cameras are catching chunky black bears bulking up for winter.

Wildlife Wednesday!
🎭 When danger strikes, opossums don’t fight — they play dead! Complete with drool & stink to fool predators. Talk about commitment to the role! 😅

🦦🌲 Wildlife Wednesday: The Fisher 🌲🦦
Mysterious, agile, and a master hunter, fishers are members of the weasel family — and one of the few predators that can take down porcupines! Once nearly gone from NY, they’re now making a comeback.

🐺💨 Did you know coyotes can sprint up to 40 mph? That’s as fast as a racehorse! Coyotes are thriving across New York — from wild forests to city streets.
