Nice portrait of a stone marten passing through our garden, or rather forest 😃. The date and time are incorrect. #cameratrapping

It is interesting to observe by means of CTs how wildlife react to lures (castorenom and valerian). In particular, the reaction of #wildboar. #cameratrapping #attractants #Alps

Publiée dans @wildlifebiology.bsky.social, une étude @dee-unil.bsky.social & @korafoundation.bsky.social révèle que les #loups présents dans les #Alpes du Nord & le #Jura consomment majoritairement des cerfs, chevreuils & chamois.

Que mangent les loups en Suisse ? 🐺🦌🧬
En Suisse, les loups se nourrissent principalement d’ongulés sauvages – en particulier de cerfs élaphes. Au total, les animaux sauvages représentent 88,3 % du régime alimentaire du loup. @fbm-unil.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/wlb3...

A brief moment spent in the company of the ghost of our forests. This is the first time an individual has shown interest in the lure I put on top of the trunc. He disappears as suddenly as it appeared, balancing on the fallen tree trunk like #lynx like to do! #cameratrapping #Swiss #Alps

This is the first time a red #deer fawn has been detected by my #cameratrap. It is followed by a ten-point stag sniffing the attractant I placed for the Eurasian lynx. #cameratrapping #Swiss #Alps

This red #deer probably removed the cover I had placed over my #cameratrap to protect its lens and sensor.

Aujourd’hui en cette #journéeinternationaleduloup je vous invite à lire « Un loup ça sert à quoi? » de Ricardo Nouailhetas Simon. J’ai beaucoup aimé ce livre qui donne des informations factuelles sur ce que nous savons réellement sur le loup. Bravo à l’auteur!

After this long dry spell, it seems that Eurasian #lynx detections are becoming more frequent again 😻. After the individual with rosettes, here is a new individual with spots. This type of coat pattern is rarer in the #Alps than in the #Jura Mts. 🇨🇭

🐾🦫 Saviez-vous que les castors font partie du régime alimentaire des lynx ? Cet été, dans le Plateau, on a documenté pour la première fois en Suisse qu'un lynx avait capturé un castor. #lynxfacts #gsd
