While most of us enjoy taking a selfie every so often, although we don't always want to admit it, it seems like the trend has made its way to the animal kingdom.
Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks Department recently posted a few pictures of a curious black bear who had come across their wildlife camera.

According to OSMP, wildlife cameras play a very important role when trying to learn more about local species and how they use the landscape around us, while simultaneously minimising the presence of staff in these sometimes sensitive areas. They have a total of nine cameras across approximately 18,615 hectares of land.
Have a look at the pictures below:

Not only do wildlife cameras provide incredibly useful information, but they can also provide some much-needed entertainment.
