When Curious Critters Interrupt Photographers

KingstonsMom — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 17:21:22 GMT

Some critters tend to shy away from the camera.

But these curious animals show no sign of fear as they get up close to photographers in their natural habitat.

The adorable images show bears, big cats, birds and other members of the animal kingdom distracting photographers from the task in hand as they investigate what's going on.

One meerkat cheekily sits on the back of a photographer as he gets down on the ground to take some pictures in Bostwana, Africa, while a young black bear is caught standing upright as it examines a camera set in Ontario, Canada.

In Austria, an alpine marmot gets very close to a cameraman, as it pokes its head into a lens hood.

Scroll down to see the friendly beasts, making a wildlife photographer's job a touch more tricky.

So cute! Thanks for sharing!

I think unless a human has food, or a human appears threatening to them or their young ---For the most animals will view humans with curiosity

@on the bay The wolf is not in the wild but on a preseve. The people are the Dutchers. I've met them. There is a good chance that wolf was raised by them.

I believe he is part of the Sawtooth Pack.

@Cakers3-

That is so neat! Thank you for sharing that.

I would love a wolf friend.

My daughter's teacher brought his 2 "dogs"

to her elementary school after classes one day. They were really wolves but of course we didn't tell!

One was a close relative of White Fang.

I was in love (with the wolves!)

@on the bay Cool. I've hugged them at preserves. Beautiful creatures.

The pics are all so sweet-thanks for sharing something wonderful.

@Cakers3 and @KingstonsMom and everyone!

I was just thinking about a documentary I watched several years ago that I will never forget.

I was going to mention it here but forgot the name. I looked it up and that was the documentary of the Dutchers!

And Cakers-You met them!!

If you get a chance, watch it. So incredible and beautiful.
