Live webcam from a watering hole in Africa. So far I've seen buffalo type thingies, antelope/deer whatevers (yes, I know I'm sooo scientific. LoL), a hyena and and elephant yesterday. Loads of birds. The sound effects alone are worth keeping a window open.

[BarenakedLady]

1. Now I know what OhioBlues was talking about

earlier today.

:woohoo:

I'm really one of you now. *sob* *sniffle*....I'd like to thank the academy...

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. How neat!

I wish something would come by. :(

[reyd reid reed]

5. Patience.....

:)

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. Yay! Gazelles!

:bounce:

[reyd reid reed]

3. It does sound cool...enough for me to keep it up as long as I can...

I'll just turn it down so's I can be vewy, vewy quiet...

Shhhhhhhh...don't tell.

[InternalDialogue]

4. That's a damn lot of birds!

No live animals on screen right now, but I'm going to keep the window open.

It's sort of the epitome of drama, isn't it? Will something come into frame? What might I miss if I get up for a drink?

[reyd reid reed]

7. My shot changed from the

watering hole to a meadow-type thingie (another scientific type) and there are animals...

this is cool. I'm gonna hafta show it to my kids tomorrow.

[InternalDialogue]

9. Same here.

Of course, it happened when I switched windows to post here.

Gotta move some windows around so I can DU and watch Africa at the same time.

Oh! Deer-thingie fight!

[reyd reid reed]

11. Heh...one of 'em looks like he'd rather be anywhere else...

I don't see him getting the girl, do you?

[Sequoia]

48. Here's another live time in Hawaii!

http://www.co.honolulu.hi.us/cameras/waikiki_beach/waikiki.htm

A friend of mine went there and called me. I could see her waving at me. So cool!

[mainegreen]

6. Whoa, acid-trip colored blue and purple mammal thingies!

[InternalDialogue]

10. You must have linked to a different watering hole.

One in Tijuana, perhaps?

:evilgrin:

[mainegreen]

19. Dude, it's so amazing I can't even screen capture it!

Seriously, printscreen pasted into photoshop creates a an exact replica of my screen except the damned lsd colored deer are still animated, IN PHOTOSHOP!!! How can these rainbow mammals jump out of my browser and into photoshop!?!

Yet if I try and save the image, all I get is a black space where the mammals should be.

38. You can't screenshot this type of video with the windows clipboard.

Search the internet for "fraps."

[crim son]

8. I see deer. Are you sure that's not my back yard?

Cool!

[BarenakedLady]

14. Actually

My backyard has been known to look like that a times. But NY white tailed deer and those things are quite a bit different. LoL.

[crim son]

16. Deer don't make that horrible snorting noise, for one thing.

I live in the city. My old house was on twenty-one acres. I would regularly look up from planting corn, or weeding, or picking hungarian sweet peppers to see that I was being watched - sometimes by three or four deer. Once, Bambi showed up and nearly stepped on my hand as I weeded the melon patch. So CUTE!

[BarenakedLady]

20. I've been snorted at on occasion

And lots of hoof stomping. Once there was a newly birthed fawn in our bushes. Gawd that was just the cutest thing ever. I love living in the boonies sometimes.

[crim son]

21. 'Cept dem bugs.

Can't stand the bugs.

[BarenakedLady]

22. Black flies?

or are they deer flies? The ones that are territorial and bomb you upon the head if you dare invade their space? Those are the ones I hate. And the mosquitoes, and those freakin' little no-seeums that cluster like a humongous disgusting bug cloud.

Oh wait I love the boonies. :eyes:

[crim son]

23. The head-bombers are deerflies. Our neighbor used to wear

duct tape, sticky side out, on his hat. But crap, then you'd hear them buzzing as you did your thing. We have blackflies, deerflies, horseflies and, I'm assured, mooseflies. And mosquitoes with a bite that penetrates denim. Yeah, it's wonderful in the boonies.

[BarenakedLady]

39. oops

wrong spot

[BarenakedLady]

12. Soo cool

They are play fighting. I love it.

[Kerrytravelers]

13. Well, I have a new obsession now.

I've been watching some deer-like thingies I see at the zoo all the time playing and running.

[ruiner4u]

17. Awwwww!!!

Im bookmarking this... Two gazelle looking horned things just went nose to nose and looked like they kissed...

[u4ic]

18. Very cool!

Thanks, BNL! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Looks like a golf course to me

:shrug:



Looks about 80 yards out. I'm thinkin' wedge.

[BarenakedLady]

25. Not much happing atm

You missed all the fun.

Just like usual right? :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Exactly like usual

I may as well be a chartered accountant. x(

[Gold Metal Flake]

26. Thanks for this link!

The audio is fascinating.

[BarenakedLady]

28. Ok what are those things?

I should really go to bed. But what are those animals? anyone know?

[reyd reid reed]

29. I have no idea...

:shrug:

[SEABEE Chief]

30. wildebeest !

They are romping around everywhere. Thank you so much for the link, it's verrrrrrrry cool!

[BarenakedLady]

31. And the babies

OMG the babies....I'm on cute overload here.

[haf216]

32. Ok, stupid question;

Game reserve, does that mean that people can hunt?? I know that a nature reserve there is no hunting. I know I should know this but mind has gone blank to night.

[BarenakedLady]

33. Oh god I hope not

That would totally ruin my viewing enjoyment to say the least. blech.

[haf216]

34. I would not be happy if a hunter came,

wondering across the screen!!!


Edit: NOT would be an important word in that sentence!

[BarenakedLady]

36. Yes I was about to spank you

LoL.

[SEABEE Chief]

37. Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve

http://sabi.krugerpark.co.za/

The website gives the impression it is Photo-Safari only.
Thanks again. Good-night.

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. Know what this reminds me of?

"In this picture there are 40 people. None of them can be seen."



:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

40. Kicking

For the elephants!

[reyd reid reed]

41. Oh, cool!!!

Elephants this morning!!! I e-mailed the link to myself last night, but I haven't checked that e-mail yet.

[AllegroRondo]

42. elephants!

wow, thats just amazing.

[RebelOne]

43. Go to the original Africam Web site

www.africam.com. There are 14 cameras at different locations.

[Zavulon]

44. This is great, thanks for posting it

I'm checking out elephants now. They're obviously up to no good and need constant monitoring. :)

[reyd reid reed]

45. It's very cool.

I was watching the elephants earlier, too. Now that one of the kids is around, though -- nothing. At least not that I can see.

Yesterday it was gazelles and wildebeests. What's next?

I'm all a-twitter.

[Road Scholar]

46. Cool. Thanks for sharing.

:toast:

[jilln]

47. The page “Wavelit TV” has content of MIME type “video/x-ms-asf-plugin”.

Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.

So does that mean I have to find a plug-in called video/x-ms-asf-plugin ?

[graywarrior]

49. Kicking, coz it's so freaking cool

[charlie and algernon]

50. zebras!

cool!

[haf216]

51. I'm watching too!!

Way cool!

[charlie and algernon]

54. the zebra couple was cute

[conscious evolution]

52. My cat is freaking out

over the sounds.
Seconds after I opened the link she came tearing in from the other room,jumped on the desk and went right for the speakers.Meowing like crazy at me and speakers!

[spillthebeans]

53. birds, nice tasty birds

[haf216]

55. My cats are sitting in the study "looking " for the birds.

Their ears are doing some major twitching. They look so funny.

[charlie and algernon]

56. there's a big one there now

the cat must be thrilled

[haf216]

57. They don't really watch the screen.

I tried to get them to look at it, but they don't seem to get it. But they love the sounds.


edit: bad typing day!

[Texasgal]

58. I don't see any water...

Just grass???

[conscious evolution]

59. someone moves the camera around.

:yourock:

[VespertineIconoclast]

64. Thanks BarenakedLady!

This is a great site! I'm wondering how you found it....

[TheBaldyMan]

65. I think I heard a Hornbill, along with lots of hyper birds.

[TheBaldyMan]

66. Now an African duck is going mental at the waterhole

it looks like something from an ancient Egyptian tomb.
