I've been using the Xinfrared T2 Pro camera for a few months and now and remain as impressed as I was when I first tried it out. Very happy to see more and more mammal (and bird) people enjoying it too. It's exceptional value at under $400 in the USA, and $20 less if you use the mammalwatch promo code and order it here. www.amazon.com/Monocular.../dp/B0BYT678Q5...
PM me for details of the how to get a discount in other countries.

Yes it's good. Here's some footage of a brown hyena in Namibia.

Does it help at all for getting clearer views of smaller mammals that are obscured behind brush?

Leopards are ambush predators and have been recorded consuming 90 different food sources, which is more than any other regional apex predator. They are known to feed on over two hundred different animals! From lions to buffalo to lizards and insects...leopards have been recorded preying upon all of them.

what exactly means "consuming 90 different food sources" and how does it add up with "feed on over two hundred different animals"?

I think they have preyed on about everything in Africa and the rest of there range

In the latest episode of the mammalwatching podcast Charles Foley and I talk to Professor Joel Berger about his work in ‘extreme mammals in extreme places’. Some of his many adventures over the years include being mistaken for a CIA agent – and put on trial – in the Russian arctic, being charged by multiple Moose, and dressing up as a Polar Bear to try to frighten Musk Oxen.

You can stream the episode here www.mammalwatching.com/community-post/new-podcast-episode-professor-joel-berger/
, or listen to it on Spotify and other podcast platforms (search for “mammalwatching”).

How many have you seen?

Cute. People always forget about bats

How many what ? Mammals in that picture? Mammals in total? Countries or continents ?

Since the map says animals, my personal list today is 4,167 animal taxa (699 families) and 176 mammals. 🙂

Ugh, the horse in North America…

Did you share this just so you could flex? “Do you even Mammal Watch?”

Most of these. Yet to see a cougar or a manatee though.

A Turtle?
