Live 24/7 webcam of watering hole in Africa
This is killer shit dudes. Nature in action, if you like wildlife, that is. Animals of all sorts come by and drink, bath or just hang out. Also around dawn or dusk is when the action is most frequent. You can see comets, falling stars at night, listen to the sounds of nature at it's best.
First I will post the link, then a photo from a scene the camera caught NEW LINK HERE Last edited by chagrin; 10-24-2007 at 05:02 AM.. |

Side note, on the web site they have a way that individual users can pan the camera and get their own shots to capture, I think that's cool; I can't do that from my home computer, too slow, but I have seen many photos of other things, including cheetahs, lions, other big cats, etc. |

Oh, and I like the sounds at night, too, until those damn loud birds show up and ruin everything. |

Personally, I love it. I'm very happy you posted it, Mr. chagrin.
I've spend many hours observing the vast variety of wildlife visible as they seek life-giving sustainence from the water hole and contemplating with amazement the fact that I'm watching the simple, pure, and peaceful beauty of nature from halfway around the world. Still, there's a part of me that wants to see a lion rip the bloody entrails from a defenseless antelope. FAX |

OK, from the Africam forums:
"Well, now that day is breaking at least we are looking at something! Even if it is just the 'rock pit' and hunk of dead wood at the base of the cam tree." We're looking straight down i think, hope its on purpose. http://www.africam.com/boma/viewforum.php?f=12 |

Whoa!
http://www9.nationalgeographic.com/n...ica/index.html Click the 'r' (realplayer) logo in the bottom right of the feed to play in realplayer, otherwise you get the corrupt message. Not the same place, this is a pond not a watering hole, more info on the location: http://www9.nationalgeographic.com/n...etes_pond.html |

Sorry about the word hater, I don't like that. I had a bad day at work, so naturally I came home, got drunk and started bitching, heh - you've always been cool to me, I know it's frustrating not seeing action alot of the time. |

I just saw a guy with Sigma Chi painted on his chest go streaking across the camera and tackle a lemir.
