This Tree Is Used as Scratchpost by Wild Animals

There is a location in the woods where I live where animals go to rub their itchy furs against trees. I have a trail camera set up there to record how they use the scratchpost. Years of scratching left the two main trees used as scratchposts visibly damaged, so much so that the leaking resin makes it look as if a tree was crying. The scratchpost is mostly used by groups of wild boars (Sus Scrofa), but also foxes (Vulpes Vulpes), and roe deer (Capreolus Capreolus).

Music used for the compilation of the trail camera videos is my own guitar solo. It was composed by me and performed and recorded live in 1996. At one point you can even hear the audience clapping during a quieter part of the solo.
