Mac originally set up his camera trap hoping to photograph Florida panthers. He was pleasantly surprised to find this dramatic image of a raccoon rescuing its young from flooding caused by unusually heavy rain for the season.
Wildlife in this ancient Everglades swamp forest relies on clear cycles between wet and dry seasons. When the balance tips either way, it can have devastating consequences for its inhabitants. For this reason, flooding in the Everglades is carefully monitored and recorded.
