Trail cameras are used mainly by hunters, set up to record pictures automatically when it senses motion. They can also be used for wildlife photography, security or just simply observation of animal movements in their natural habitat.

Fortunately for us, this technology has another cool, unexpected benefit: it allows us to see all the crazy and mischievous things our furry friends get up to when they think nobody is watching. Bored Panda has compiled a list of occasions when the camera caught the perfect shot, some hilarious, some slightly sinister and some just downright weird.

Which one did you like best? Let us know in the comments below!

    We're laughing at this deer for running from a wee squirrel, but how do we humans look when we're running from a cockroach? ^_-

    This surprises me. Do deer and flying squirrels compete for the same food? Why would the squirrel attack the deer?

    Could be a nesting new parent squirrel and is therefore very defensive about anything entering the nesting territory?

    Maybe it's Rocky. The deer kinda resembles Bullwinkle, and it is dark

    I don't think flying squirrels can use bored panda. Also if they somehow did stumble upon your comment and request (we don't know that they speak English)

    obviously i was appealing to the humans who see these photos and do not realize that they were often taken by hunters' video equipment. Flying squirrels do speak English! Remember Rocky???

    As a reminder - pigs will eat ANYTHING. If it's breathing, it's protein to them, and YES people are included. That's how one serial killer of prostitutes got rid of their bodies for over 20 years.
