Wildlife photographer Casey Anderson finally retrieved a camera he’d left running inside a known grizzly bear den for over a decade, and the resulting footage confirmed the space was being used by a surprising variety of animals, including an “obsessive” mountain lion. Don’t worry, this isn’t about a bear attack, although those are more likely than you know.
Anderson, who is 49 and based in the US, specializes in tracking wildlife across the American West. He originally placed the camera inside the cave, hoping to capture the den being reused by the grizzly bears that traditionally inhabit the space. When he returned to the den after all those years, he found that his patience had paid off with spectacular results, capturing a whole lot more than just the bears he was expecting.
