Wildlife Camera Trap Captures A Passer-by Striking A Pose

When conservation photographer and wildlife tracker Jeff Wirth came back to a camera trap he had set up in a forest, he hoped to find pictures of a bobcat. Instead, he ended up with images of a ‘surprise’ passer-by that made him laugh out loud.

Wirth really appreciated that the man didn’t steal or damage his equipment and was content with simply posing for his camera. So, the photographer thanked the stranger on Reddit, uploading one of his pictures.

People immediately fell in love with the story and 151,000 upvotes even the man in question found the post. Thank you Ben Sizemore for the wholesome content.
