Why did the lynx cross the road?

B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation has done it again, posting a  of images to their blog that you won’t see anywhere else.

Moose, lynx, coyotes, bears, herds of deer and more make appearances.

The images are part of a study that the ministry conducts where they track animals who go through/over/under wildlife crossing. They use the images to help inform their work, making sure that vehicles and local wildlife don’t get in each other’s way.

The cameras scattered throughout the province are scheduled to take photos from every five seconds to every hour. They’re also equipped with motion sensors as not to miss any critters that walk by.

Check out some recent photos  and some older ones from 2013 . Those links are not only packed with interesting images but they explain the hows and whys of what the government agency is doing with our tax dollars.

As I have said many times now, this public agency is really doing it right with their storytelling.
