How does a moose take a selfie? By triggering a wildlife monitoring cam, of course.

The BC Ministry of Transporation is sharing some of their wildlife camerasѻý best snaps from around the province after this moose selfie caught the staffѻýs attention.

The ministry notes the staff have seen some pretty fantastic shots on the cameras in the past, but ѻýthis one takes the cake.ѻý

The cams were installed along BC highways to help prevent animals and drivers from crossing paths and to monitor wildlife crossings with motion-activated cams.

ѻýWe use these images to get a better understanding of how animals are using our wildlife crossing and how they interact with each other at these locations,ѻý reads a ministry statement. ѻýWe use this information to improve our crossings and make them useful to more animals.ѻý

Along with the ѻýmoose selfieѻý, the stop-action video below of a coyote in hot pursuit of a deer across one of provinceѻýs overpasses.

ѻýOur wildlife crossings are well used, but animals donѻýt tend to cross paths while using them, instead, they tend to pass each other ѻýlike ships in the night.ѻý,ѻý adds the ministry. ѻýWeѻýve been observing these cams for years now and this is the first time weѻýve ever seen anything like this.ѻý

It also added the photo below of a reclusive lynx moving through a part of wildlife fencing.

The ministry states that a ѻýwell-designed, well-constructed and well-maintained can reduce the potential for wildlife collisions by more than 90 per cent.ѻý
