Motion-triggered digital camera traps have given scientists a brand new way to study wild animals. And this method gets up close and personal!!

Managed by Conservation International, the network has deployed camera traps across 16 sites in Asia, Africa and Latin America, at each site, the traps collect up to 60,000 images every year - which may help scientists collect data that would have otherwise taken years to organize.

(Above) is only one of the many wild animals' portraits that have been taken, and we hope to see much MORE of these pictures.

We can't stop until we get enough!!!

See more animals… AFTER THE JUMP!!!
