The cameras at our sites are placed to record chimps. That's why we get a somewhat funny perspective of the larger animals, like this elephant bachelor group.

Chimp&See moment of Zen: Sometimes it's so nice to just watch the chimps relaxing. Deep breath in, breathe out, repeat 😊

The stark contrast between the pale fur on a honey badger's upper head and the dark fur on its face contributes to its intimidating visual display, possibly acting as a warning to predators and rivals.

Despite its name, the Checkered Elephant Shrew is not a true shrew and is more closely related to elephants and aardvarks. Their long, mobile snout is used to sniff and probe through leaf litter and undergrowth to locate prey.

We only get a back-side view of this Water Chevrotain, but we don't see many of them at C&S, so any view is a great view. They are shy and extremely difficult to observe in the wild due to their secretive, silent behavior and preference for dense cover.

Yellow-backed Duiker tend to have more pronounced tufts of hair between their ears than other duiker species, possibly reflecting its larger size and more solitary behavior, where such visual cues may be more important.

There are several genet species within range of Prismatic Expanse so we can't be certain which one this might be. We just think it is beautiful!

Only a few spider species have eyeshine, such as wolf spiders. Whatever type of spider this is, it is seriously huge!

Having a prehensile tail has its advantages when searching this tree for insects. Now is that practical or is this practical? 😊

Whatever scary thing they see on the path, these Black Guineafowl are determined to plow through it rather than go around it. Silly birds! (And did you see the little chick behind the first bird in the line?)

Galagos are active at night, using their large eyes and acute hearing to navigate and forage in darkness. They live almost entirely in trees, using their strong hind limbs to leap between branches. Some species can jump more than 2 meters in a single bound.

Some animals are fearful of our cameras and some animals are attracted to them. This curious little female Defassa Waterbuck is quite a camera hog. She poses in front of this camera for 10 minutes!

Meet Jean Valjean, or JVJ as he is affectionately known around camp. Site Researcher FeralBo celebrated when JVJ showed up on the trail camera because lion are considered extinct in Sierra Leone according to current literature. It's the first lion we've seen since moving to our new platform!

This path in the Prismatic Expanse forest is a favorite of a new-to-us subspecies of honey badger called Black Ratel (Mellivora capensis cottoni). We've filmed some with white-tipped tails, such as these, which is also unusual.

This beautiful Golden monkey is a very rare and endangered species. It lives only here in Rwanda's Gishwati Forest and in the neighboring Virunga Volcanoes.

Happy World Chimpanzee Day! These chimps are eating the wood from this tree's rotten trunk. In addition to eating wood, we think they are also munching on worms, maggots, beetles, and other creatures who are also there for the feast.
