Mountain lions, bighorn sheep
and scruffy black bears are among the stars of new photographs released by the
Colorado Bureau of Land Management (BLM) this week.
The wildlife caught on candid
camera were gathering around water tanks deployed by the BLM to manage grazing
and improve water access for wild animals on public lands. Cameras monitor the
water tanks, also known as "guzzlers," capturing everything from wild
deer to coyotes to mountain
lions taking advantage of the free drinks.
"Biologists use these
cameras to gather invaluable information regarding species use of various
habitats," Matt Rustand, a wildlife biologist at the BLM's Royal Gorge
Field Office, said in a statement.
