Sumatran Rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri) Critically Endangered First ever photo in the wild. One confirmed sighting in 1972. Last collected in 1916. Presumed extinct until photographed with TrailMaster in 1997. (Note what appears to be a Flying Fox on the ground behind the rabbit.)
 
Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) Vulnerable Very rare to see a clouded leopard during the daytime.
 
Asiatic Golden Cat (Catopuma temmincki) Near Threatened
 
Saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) New species First ever photograph of Saola in natural habitat taken with TrailMaster in Pu Mat Nature Reserve.

"There is always a high level of anticipation when we check the negatives from the camera traps as we are never sure what will be there, so it was a wonderful surprise to see a Saola looking straight into the camera." --Mike Baltzer (FFI)

 
Marbled Cat (Pardofelis marmorata) Data Deficient for UCN category
 
Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) Endangered
 
Civet (Viverra tainguensis) Newly discovered.

"This new record for the reserve, and for the distribution of the species, is also thought to be the first confirmed photograph of a live example of this species in the wild."
--Stephen Reynolds

Karanth
Tiger photograph taken in India by Ullas Karanth (WCS). Ullas has been using TrailMaster equipment since 1992.

"As you know I have been promoting your fine product strongly among other field biologists. You will be pleased to know that a forthcoming BBC/National Geographic film on tigers which covered my project recently will feature TrailMaster and its use in tiger censusing quite prominently." --Ullas Karanth.

Ullas has been a leading force in tiger conservation for many years. We added the Multi-Camera Trigger in response to a special need Ullas had to be able to operate two cameras with one TrailMaster monitor.



Traska
Jeff Traska, an avid ourdoorsman and photographer, purchased his first TrailMaster system in 1990 and has taken many wonderful photographs of bear in Wisconsin.

"The deer research continues with your equipment playing a lead role." --Skipper Dickson



Belize - Carolyn M Williams
Jaguar (Panthera onca) photo(1993) taken in Belize by Carolyn Miller (WCS).

I'm sure you will agree that this is a once-in-a-lifetime shot... it blew up to something like 18x24 very well and now hangs in Chan Chich Lodge where it attracts a great deal of attention. If you look closely at the photo behind the animal's hip, you will see a light colored stick... this is where the sender is mounted but blocked from view. You might be interested to know, the same animal was photographed a month later about 6PM at a TM location even closer to the Lodge." --Carolyn Miller



Bartolo
Albino deer photo taken by Steve Bartylla, Northwoods Whitetail Adventures.

"Not only are TrailMaster units invaluable for allowing me to get an accurate whitetail census, they also allow me to capture once in a lifetime pictures. This albino fawn is only one of many pictures that I would have never been able to get on my own. Whether its getting an accurate population estimate, sex ratio, age structure or once in a lifetime photos for seminars and articles, I use TrailMaster because they simply are the best!"
--Steve Bartylla
