Three years ago, I went on an expedition on Mount Kenya to resurvey mammals from an expedition Teddy Roosevelt led over 100 years ago. Around this time, we checked our first camera traps. During the trek, I hardly saw any mammals, only monkeys and a flash of a duiker or a bushbuck. Yet, camera traps tell a very different story. Camera traps are amazing because they are triggered by heat and motion, so whenever an animal walks by, it takes their photo. Here are some of my favorite photos from our trek to the top!
