The pictures you see above were taken with a Bushnell remote sensing camera system, or camera "trap", set up near a salt lick within the Aberdares National Park (Honi Valley) in 2007. The laser-triggered camera captured images of a variety of animal species visiting the mineral lick including elephant; waterbuck; warthog; buffalo; and significantly, a mountain bongo female and calf. These photos are invaluable in assessing the status of remnant bongo population within the national park.
