Secret life of mammals caught on camera

A conservation study using hidden motion-sensor cameras has revealed the secret life of mammals in some of the world's most remote forests.

It is the first study of its kind that sought to collect data on mammals living in seven different forests locations, the full results of which were published in the journal "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society."

Led by Dr Jorge Ahumada of the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring Network (TEAM) at Conservational International, the study captured over 50,000 images of 105 species that ranged from three-ton elephants to a 26-gram Linnaeu's Mouse Opposum.

The photos, shot between 2008 and 2010, also revealed some non-native mammals to the protected forest areas: poachers and tourists.

Never mind.

why they blurred the face of the poacher. I can't imagine it serves any purpose to do so.
