    There are several possible reasons for images such as this one. The camera may have been damaged by an animal, it may have developed a fault or the digital card may be broken 😃

    Ah, the joys (and perils) of camera traps in the field. These all black images seem to mostly be from camera malfunction. Sometimes the flash stops working, so we'll get okay daytime pictures, and pitch black nighttime ones. Sometimes....everything stops working!
