Wildlife Cameras

Deep in the woods, between Interstate 84 and the IAR Middle School, are the wildlife cameras. The cameras are attached to the trees in the woods behind the building.

These cameras are motion-sensored, which means they take pictures whenever they sense something. They have captured pictures of bears, raccoons, bobcats, deer, and foxes. These pictures help us get to know the wildlife in Connecticut and also understand what different animals inhabit the forest. By understanding what wildlife lurks in Connecticut, we can learn about how animals survive in the wild.

Each of the animals listed above and below are native to this state. Bobcats, black bears, and deer roam deep in the forest. Bobcats make their home by digging burrows, known as dens, but also make their home out of hollow log and fallen trees. Black bears and deer, on the other hand, roam about in the woods, which is how they survive for shelter and protection.

As you can see, the motion-sensored cameras are busy sensing pictures of the wildlife.
