After retrieving more than 300 SD cards from wildlife cameras spread out over Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area in the N.W.T. at the end of the summer, it was obvious to Iris Catholique which one to look at first. | CBCNorth
A curious caribou looks into a wildlife camera set up on the tundra in Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area in the N.W.T. The camera was one of 307 that were set up in the park for a year.
"Once they figured out it was a grizzly bear ... it kind of puts in perspective like actually how strong they are," said Catholique, the Thaidene Nëné manager for Łutsel K'e Dene First Nation. "This is iron. Angle iron. And the bear totally mangled it." The cameras are activated by sensors whenever animals walk by. Other images from the grizzly-damaged camera show the inquisitive nose of caribou, the blood-streaked face of a wolf, and Arctic hares hopping by in the dark — before a grizzly bear deals what appears to be a final blow in July.
Catholique said sights and sounds from its vast tundra, forest and wetland environments will help build an understanding of the animals that live there, and will help Łutsel K'e Dene First Nation manage the park in the years to come.
