🌿🦊 Exciting Wildlife Moment Captured! 🦊🌿 Incredible footage captured by our Prowild wildlife detection system reveals a rare sight: a fox gracefully scaling a fence! Witnessing this agile creature navigate its way over the barrier is truly remarkable, and it's possible this moment has never been captured on film before. What makes this encounter even more fascinating is the realization that had the fox ventured just 20 meters back, it could have effortlessly passed through an open gap in the fence instead of resorting to climbing. Prowild underscores the effectiveness of our wildlife detection system in facilitating safe animal crossings. Moreover, our system has consistently proven its effectiveness, boasting a remarkable track record in drastically reducing collision rates. Its reliability in safeguarding both wildlife and motorists is a testament to its exceptional performance. At Prowild, we're dedicated to creating solutions that harmonize human activities with the natural world. Witnessing moments like these reminds us of the importance of conservation efforts and the role technology can play in fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife. #WildlifeConservation #Prowild #Nature #Innovation #WildlifeCrossing #Fox #FenceTraversal #wilddetectie #wildwarn #wildwechsel #WDS #RADS #ADDWS #wildwaarschuwing

Protecting & Respecting Wildlife My passion and love of wildlife transcends all others. This passion grew 10 fold when I began my career as a wildlife/nature & closeup photographer. Pets also run in the family; both dogs and birds. The reason for this brief post however is to make a couple of very simple suggestions; 1. It truly bothers me to watch people ignoring birds and other animals struck by traffic left on the road/highway to rot. Here’s a thought; why not take the time when you can to stop and gently move their corpse off the road (using protective glove or plastic bag) as a sign of quite basic respect. It’s not difficult you know - particularly if you also own pets and experienced grief/pain when you lost them. I’m also certain you’ll feel good about what you’ve just done. 2. The concept of speed limits should also be considered as a safety net for surrounding wildlife, not just for our own safety because it’s much easier to safely swerve to avoid hitting a passing animal on the road or help it move quickly out of the way. We may also get to enjoy the driving experience when be begin to move our foot off the accelerator pedal while keeping our mental & physical fascination with speed in check at all times, right? In other words, take it easy to enjoy/learn more. Just a thought and you can take it whichever way you choose. Take care. #wildlife #protectnature

“I just cannot justify your price. Another company said they can do it cheaper” Yes, yes they can… if fact a lot of our fellow wildlife operators in the Cincinnati area are MUCH cheaper than we are. But that is just accounting for short term costs. It saves you money when the cheaper company stops their trapping program without removing ALL of the animals habituated to the structure? But what is it going to cost to have ongoing raccoon problems year after year? It saves you money when the cheaper company’s “repair” is to duct tape a thin piece of aluminum over the access point the raccoons were using to gain entry. But what is it going to cost when water affects the tape, opens the access point back up and allows raccoons, birds, mice, bats, and squirrels into the hole? Not every family can justify the cost of Huntsman Wildlife using our biology and behavior focused approach to trapping. Not every family can justify the cost of the electronic trap monitoring, cellular based cameras, and other technology we use when our clients ask us to solve their wildlife issues. Not every family can justify the cost of dedicated professional teams we partner with for out of scope roof repairs, insulation needs, and landscaping modifications needed to keep their families healthy and properties secured. Allan WAS able to justify the cost. And his experience and the experience of countless others can be found in our google reviews. Your friends, neighbors, church members, and coworkers trust Huntsman Wildlife to SOLVE their wildlife issues. When the time comes that you have a wildlife issue on your property, will you call a low budget, inexperienced Animal Remover or Varment Getter? Or will you put your faith in the team of operators more and more property owners rely on to do what the others will not? #wildlifecontrol #wildlifemanagement #animalcontrol #animalremoval #pestcontrol #wildliferemoval #pestremoval #protectcincy #huntsmanwildlife #cincinnati #animaldamage #wildlifedamage #pestdamage #ohio #cinci #cincy #cincylocal #cincylife #cincyrealestate #localcincinnati #513_cincinnati #familybiz

New open access paper just dropped: Anatomy of a Turtle Confiscation: What to Expect When You’re Not Expecting and Recommendations for Improving Outcomes. Congrats to the authors! Turtle confiscations take a lot of time and resources, often which are not readily available. However, thanks to this work, we are able to get some of these poached animals back on the landscape. https://lnkd.in/gGnF2Bzd #turtle #turtleconservation #illegalturtletrade #stateagency #poaching #trafficking #wildlifetrafficking

Tuesday Tips! Wildlife Tracking 1 of 5 Parks are a great place to practice identifying and tracking wildlife. Consider taking a class or buying a field guide before you venture out. Be sure the field guide is for animals in your area. Then, in the field, practice, practice, practice. #TuesdayTips #WildlifeTracking #FieldGuides #Wildlife

Exploring Wildlife Management: Balancing Numbers and Resources In the video, the speaker expresses their admiration for a particular animal, considering them to be the coolest animal of all time. They find them majestic and captivating, especially when looking into their eyes in photos. However, the speaker acknowledges the importance of managing the animal's population, as wildlife biologists understand the need to balance the animal's numbers with the resources available in their habitat. Despite the discomfort this may cause some people, the speaker recognizes the necessity of managing the animal's numbers for the overall health of the species and the ecosystem. #CoolestAnimal #Majestic #WildlifeBiologists #CarryingCapacity #Resources #AnimalLovers #InstagramFinds #NaturePhotography #ConservationEfforts #vizard

Ethical nature photography is such an important issue. This fantastic article by Douglas Gimesy highlights (pun intended) the use of lighting when photographing wildlife. He's got 10 questions to ask yourself before using extra lighting (i.e. flash/torch). Not a photographer yourself? You can help promote ethical nature photography by considering the ethics behind nature photos that you're using and sharing. Let's have more conversations about ethical nature photography!

Unintentional ladders WILL cause you problems down the road. I have been known to say that wildlife is “cheap” by nature. You and I, despite our intentions, base our day off of the dollar. We know how many dollars we wake up with, we try to spend fewer dollars than what we take in, and by the time we go to bed, we hope to have more dollars than what we woke up with. Wildlife does the same thing, just with calories instead of dollars. If things are calorically expensive for them to do (like climbing the brick siding of a home to get to the rooftop), they are not likely to do it. But it you give wildlife a calorically cheaper option by creating a ladder (be it tree branches, trellises, or wood stacked against the home) then it is economically responsible for the animals to get on your rooftop and investigate it. Keeping unintentional ladders away from your rooftop is the simplest way to keep rodents, reptiles, squirrels, and raccoons from causing problems on your roof. #wildlifecontrol #wildlifemanagement #animalcontrol #animalremoval #pestcontrol #wildliferemoval #pestremoval #protectcincy #huntsmanwildlife #cincinnati #animaldamage #wildlifedamage #pestdamage #ohio #cinci #cincy #cincylocal #cincylife #cincyrealestate #localcincinnati #513_cincinnati #familybiz

You're probably wondering about our logo. It looks a bit empty without the panda, doesn't it? Now imagine the world without pandas, without any wildlife. On this #WorldWildlifeDay, we're joining many others in removing nature from our logo to highlight a #WorldWithoutNature. Because – like our logo – our world just doesn't work without #nature. In 50 years, we have lost over 69% of wildlife populations. We must act now to stop nature loss. Repost using #WorldWildlifeDay and #WorldWithoutNature to spread the word. #wildlife #conservation #WWFIndia #WWF
