NIGHT CAMERA TRAPS

A friend recently told me about being on the safari and a pretty horrible practice for hunting leopards (or some other large, nocturnal African cat) employed by his friend and guide. They stalk the cat until they find its general area, then they set up a decoy (some baby animal tied to a peg probably) then they set up bright lights. As soon as the leopard shows up at night, they trip the lights and shoot the leopard. But what he mentioned is that often they'll take photographs as the lights are set off. He said that those photos are very haunting, beautiful just strange.
I'm trying to get my hands on some of those images. Until I find them we'll have to settle for these haunting and less horrible photos from camera traps used for tracking nocturnal animal populations.
