There is an elephant there right now!
-
Unfortunately it is nighttime there and you can barely see anything. I will check it out tonight though and can hopefully see some animals.
-
Oh, I see........... it's a live cam.
I was wondering why it looked like a negative from a photo......... ...it must be night there......... ....lol :P
-
That is awesome. I totally want to go to Africa one day and do the safari thing but I think it will have to be during hte day cuz all of those noises I hear right now kinda freak me out. ;D
-
I love this site almost as much as BPO!
-
There is a herd of antelope on there now. I think I saw an ostrich earlier, but not sure. Too cool.
-
Me and my mom are watching it LOL and my daughters love it!!! This is so cool :D
-
Couldn't see nothin' but a red X!
Should be something going on there!
Hey Farley!
This ever happen to you with the dolphin?
Tulsa
-
OMG! HOW COOL! I COULD WATCH THIS ALL NIGHT!
-
Me too! This is great!
-
That is seriously awesome! I watched the animals drinking in peace and harmony. It is really like being there, even though I am here. Thanks for the link!
-
Wow, a few antelope and a bunch of birds that look just like we call Guinea Hens. Thanks for sharing this site, I put it in my favorites so I can go back different times of the day. Amazing what satellites can do to connect the world together :)
-
It's in my favorites now as well.
A warthog. The digital screen is a bit messed up, but I can still make out it's a warthog. Way cool.
-
I saw an Elephannt ;D ;D ;D
-
AN ELEPHANT!!! THERE'S AN ELEPHANT!! WHOOHOOO!!
-
It's busy there right now. I just saw a zebra an elephant and an ostrich in one pass of the camera.
-
Now a monkey too!!!!!
-
There is an elephant taking a leisurely bath right now. ;D
-
Between BPO and this, I know I'll never get my house clean now!

I think there's a hippo in the water!!
no wait it's an elephant! :P
-
I can't believe technology! I am chillin' in my house watching an elephant and monkey hang out in total peace. ANd all of the deer like animals are running around. I love this thing!!
-
Another great thread for your kid section.... ;)
-
I can't view it. Everytime I go on it, it shuts down my window :'(
-
OMG this is sooo awesome!! ;D
Its the next best thing to my dream vacation. I so want to go to Africa to dive with the Great Whites at Seal Island(in a cage) and then go on safari to look for cheetahs in the wild. They're my two fav animals, besides dogs that is. ;)
Thanks for posting this! :D

ALRIGHT Moni!!!!!!!!!!! And I thought I was the only odd one who wanted to go diving with Great White Sharks [in a cage]. We can go together ;) I have like a ton of books on sharks and I have this one HUGE stuff shark, I just love sharks!
-
I restarted my computer and can get on now.
Wow, this looks neat. Even though it is dark right now.
-
That is so amazing Blair! ;D Now I know I'm not the only insane person around. lol
We'll have to go diving together! Do you have the documentary Air Jaws 1 & 2? Its so amazing! Last year, Tori and I went to the sleepover at the NY Aquarium and one of the ladies there actually worked with the guys who did that documentary! We talked about Great Whites for hours. lol
Too cool! :D
-
That would be fun Holly! We'll have a BPO Great White dive someday. :D Wouldn't that be a blast!?!
It took the fact that I had no money to keep me from driving to CA to see the baby GW that broke all the captivity records and also the one that got lost in MA inlets last year. ;D
-
That is so awesome!! I didn't want to download RealPlayer, because it's caused me problems before, but I'm so glad I did. That's very addicting to watch, I'm wondering what I'm going to see next. This is gonna get me into trouble. heheee ;D

It's about 9:25 pm Pacific time and there are lots of critters.
-
Still lots of animals around. Camera is zoomed in on a baboon right now
-
ELEPHANT! ELEPHANT! ELEPHANT!
-
Tis funny, while I've been watching, I've seen warthogs, 6 ostrich, a herd of elephants inc. a bull and a baby, a herd of gazelle, various birds and bugs and thoroughly enjoyed it. Went to show my husband, we watched for 5 minutes (as long as he could sit still) and nary a thing came by for a drink. Same thing happened with my daughter..... oh well. Problem is, I'm not sure they believe me. It is just way too cool! I can't wait to show my daughters boyfriend. His grandparents were missionaries in Botswana! He'll believe me!!
-
there is a whole herd of elephants there now, babies and all.
-
That's so awesome!! Thanks for the heads up zoocrew.
-
I keep checking, but all I have seen is birds!  :-\
-
Wait - I SEE THE ELEPHANTS!!!!
Squeeeeee!
-
I haven't seen elephants yet!!! I've only seen birds and deer like creatures. I'll have to keep checking in on that to see the elephants. :)
Andi
-
Yeah, you have to be pretty quick to see them. They don't stay in one place very long.
I usually keep this minimized on my computer so I can pop it up here and there when it sounds like there is something in the water......... ....lol
-
I saw Monkeys, Gazelles, Guinea Fowl, Ostriches, a Raptor with a white head, and the Elephant, too!
-
I checked when it was 7:00pm there and it was already dark? Why do you think that is? I thought it said it was summer there. I'm so confused! I've only got to see it once while it was daylight out at about 6:00am, that's when I seen all the birds. I can't see anything very well when it's dark out. I think I see something then it turns out to be a bush or something. lol
Andi
-
Ok here's another stupid question..... It looks like it's a desert with sand and all, but yet there are trees. I thought deserts don't have trees? Where's the cactuses? lol I know I'm an idiot! ;D
Andi
-
It's SHOWTIME in Botswana!
And the Natives are Restless!
-
Andi, I dont' think they're in the desert. It's more of a savannah, which is where elephants, zebras, giraffe's etc. live mostly. There is not much vegetation, except where there is water, where you will find clumps of trees and shrubbery.
-
There are some ostriches there right now...
Ooooh, a giraffe just appeared out of nowhere too! (Literally - the camera updated and he just appeared! It's magic! ;D)
-
I just spotted a couple of hyenas!!!!!
-
Thanks ZooCrew for explaining it a little for me, I appreciate it. I was just a little confused it looked like sand to me, but now that you say that it's a savannah, I realize it's dirt I'm looking at. I hardly EVER check in when it's sunny out. It's almost always dark when I check in on it. OR I don't see any animals..or the darn thing locks up on me.... I'm just not having much luck with it. :)
Andi
-
There's a Mom and Baby elephant on there right now!! AWWWW!!!
-
San Diego Zoo has live cameras for polar bears, monkeys, elephants and pandas...
http://www.sandiegozoo.org/videos/index.html
Right now - no polar bears, scared of monkeys so didn't check, elephants are eating, pandas sleeping... ;D
-
OH POOP!! Africa cam is having "technical difficulties". :'(
Andi
-
OOOO AHHHHH!! Thanks for that link grumpy, I got to see some elephants! YAY!
Andi
-
PANDAS! JAIMES GONNA DIE! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO O CUTE
-
Jaime and you need to come down here to San Diego so that we can all go to the zoo and see the pandas... :D
I just checked again and the panda that is on camera is Bai Yun (and new cub). Bai Yun is still sleeping. Why does the panda still get to be asleep at 7:47 AM, and I don't? Dang panda.
-
HOLLY CRAP!
i thought the little one was a big one...then the big one comes in and i was like OMG! no kidding, she is HUGE lol! how cute!
-
I am so sad. I want to be looking at them soooo badly and can't because everything at school is blocked. :( I really wanna cry cuz I didn't get to see any baby elephants or pandas....sad :o
-
Wow I just seen a Black backed Jackel :o
-
did everyone forget about his dealy or what? i friggin love this thing STILL.
-
Heck no...the bloody thing's still bookmarked and I pop in every once in a while just to see what's there. My kids love it!
-
I didn't know about it.
Glad you bumped it!
Thanks!
