I would like to lodge a complaint about AfriCam
Everybody else sees cool stuff. I am beginning to think they lie to make me feel bad, and this is actually footage of a swimmin' hole in Kansas. All the time there are posts about elephants, lions, hyenas, turtles humping (anybody got Santorum's email?) and all I ever see is a muddy hole and occasionally a duck.

PS While I was typing this message in another tab, chances are an elephant gave birth on camera and a lion came along and ate the baby. Interesting things are happening when I'm not looking. Every time.

something else? The cat jumping for the pachyderm was amazing; and who knew elephants could be so agile if they needed to be!

Go big man, go!!!!!!!!!!

2. Tonight was the first time I saw anything really interesting...

4. Please.

At least you can see a duck now and then. My computer won't read it at all, save for a little blue question mark on the screen.

(I have fourteen Africam posts in my hidden threads!)

edit: now it's seventeen.
next edit: eighteen.

6. Clearly, you are not obsessed enough
;)

Patience, grasshopper. Sit quietly in front of your computer, staring at the watering hole 24 hours a day and you will surely see something.

9. After days and days of nothing
I finally saw something. Here you go, captured pics for those that felt like I did.

I left it on in the background and looked whenever the birds sounded freaked out.

11. It took days for me to see anything, then the last 24 hours has been a wildlife bonanza
In the last 24 hours, I've see wildebeasties, zebras, antelopes, a juvenile male lion, and a bunch of monkeys. I'm deeply envious that I missed the elephant, though.
