Interesting. This opens up a whole new realm of nature documentary film-making based around unobtrusive cameras. I don't see animal behavior differing very much, but a human presence certainly is not something the animals can ignore.

That said, some of the animals in the pictures saw the camera -- not exactly discreet.

Yeah, they're on a motion sensor, and usually flash, which is pretty hard to ignore. We've been using them for years to spot whitetails in the woods.
