Camera trapping

People, people. Do we really have to explain this?

Camera traps are set up to photograph wildlife in places where they do (or do not) belong.

They are not supposed to snap people. They are not supposed to photograph people in gorilla costumes, and, for heaven's sake, people in their birthday suits.

Yet, this is what camera traps capture.

In what appears to be an odd form of event travel, people are increasingly the subjects of camera traps. That came as a surprise to the Kansas Police who were just trying to get a glimpse of a mountain lion suspected to be in the area. Instead they got gorilla suits. (see pictures at atlasobscura.com)

Meanwhile at Virginia Tech, cameras captured a naked, and creative, man posing.
