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!

This level is absolutely impressive. Many humans do not have the brains to cooperate so effectively.

I've heard that raccoons are smart little bandits, but I've never expected them doing anything like that.

Which type of firearm sight is simple, inexpensive, and standard on most handguns? Click Here:- buy AK underfolder gun online A firearm is any type of gun designed to be readily carried and used by an individual.The term is legally defined further in different countries (see Legal definitions). The first firearms originated in 10th-century China, when bamboo tubes containing gunpowder and pellet projectiles were mounted on spears to make the portable fire lance,operable by a single person, which was later used effectively as a shock weapon in the Siege of De'an in 1132. In the 13th century, fire lance barrels were replaced with metal tubes and transformed into the metal-barreled hand cannon.The technology gradually spread throughout Eurasia during the 14th century. Older firearms typically used black powder as a propellant, but modern firearms use smokeless powder or other propellants.

Not to be a spoil sport but take a close look at back feet on the top raccoon in the first picture. It really looks photoshopped to me. The outlline of the foot is really sharp for a critter that is standing on another furry critter. He almost appears to be hanging in the air. I could be wrong. I just have my doubts about this one. The rest I of the pictures I don't doubt at all. I've gotten some crazy stuff with my game camera.

Raccoons are not this intelligent. If you look at the second raccoon from the top, his paws would be leaving a shadow and indentitation in the fur. There is none of that. It is photoshopped and therefore fake.

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.
