How Much Wood..?

Look up on those rocks! It’s a mutant rat! It’s an autotomized beaver! It’s… a woodchuck?

On the same camera characterized by the romping fox kits, we now see a woodchuck(!) - Marmota monax - clocked for the first time since August 6th of last year. Camera 4 has become a favourite amongst our team for capturing a unique array of species, yielding very interesting behaviours and interactions to be sure. As was said in the blog post on the foxes, it comes as a pleasant surprise that such a high quantity of animals can be observed here, in such a busy pedestrian locale. Further to our delight, now an arguably more elusive species has shown herself, hirsute as ever. We’ve all got our fingers crossed for that autotomized beaver to come strolling by – any day now.
