According to the BBC, on one camera, roughly 400 out of 580 images were of the same bear.

Most of the other animals at Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) in Boulder simply walk by, searching for food or resting places.

But not this bear.

This animal “took a special interest” in the cameras, an OSMP spokesperson said, and seized the “opportunity.”

“These pictures made us laugh, and we thought others would, too,” spokesperson Philip Yates said in a statement.

Bear on camera in Colorado

There are 9 motion-detecting cameras positioned across the park’s 46 000 acres. They are activated when an animal walks by. Once triggered, the cameras either capture still photographs or short videos.

Bears, birds, foxes and owls are just a few of the animals captured by the park’s cameras.

The cameras are placed in high-traffic areas, determined by the presence of footprints and animal-cleared pathways.
