Somebody setup a webcam in the middle of africa at a waterhole =D

Check it out.

Even not watching it and simply letting the sound run while you're on the comp is relaxing =D

EDIT: Oh, and right now theres no real animals but people get hyenas and stuff =D

**ojdp** · 10-06-2006 02:32 AM

Awesome! right as I clicked it there were 3 elephants right up at the cam. Just awesome.

**irishcream** · 10-06-2006 03:17 AM

well, nothing much happening at the moment, but it'll be cool to come back regularly and have a look...and you're right, listening to the african wildlife is relaxing...

I love this sort of thing.

Thank you for posting the link to this, arby!

I turned it on about two hours ago, and left it up while doing other stuff on the computer. Twice I noticed very different sounds, and when I looked I saw two hyenas the first time...and three zebras the next.

I love being able to get a glimpse into a completely different part of the world.

**badassbob** · 10-06-2006 04:30 PM

This is great to watch. I can't see anything right now, but I can hear something screaching.

Thanks a lot for the link, arby!

EDIT: Wow! I just saw a gazelle or something. It's having a drink.
Anyone reading this post right NOW will see it. It's been there for about a minute.

It's daytime now in South Africa. And I just saw a small herd of Kudu and also about 8 zebras. What is really neat is that the camera zoomed in and focused on the animals so I could see them in good detail. It also followed them around so I could see them eating, etc.

Pretty cool.

**TweaK** · 10-07-2006 06:30 AM

I'm loving this man, it's really awesome.

**arby** · 10-07-2006 07:24 AM

I'm confused. There were two monkeys. It looked like one was trying to jump over the other but couldn't quite make it.

True story

XDDD

This thing is great.

**Neil.....** · 10-07-2006 08:48 AM

AWWW it dosent load... nothing happends... ripd lol

**Kaniaz** · 10-07-2006 09:05 AM

I can't get it to load, but I'm on 56k. Although they should probably add a sort of Duck Hunter feature, so you can shoot the gazelle in real-time and hear their guttural, heart-wrenching screams of death!

**badassbob** · 10-07-2006 11:08 AM

Yeah, it seems to have stopped working. Well it has for me anyway.

**Twoshadows** · 10-07-2006 11:27 AM

It must be back on because I'm watching it again. There must be a toad sitting right on the microphone....croaking really loud.

No big animals at the water hole right now.

**Twoshadows** · 10-07-2006 03:32 PM

A little while ago I saw a group of five elephants come and drink at the water hole. Three adults, one juvenile, and one very small baby (very cute....it walked under the other adults..sucked on its trunk a bit...don't think it ever drank any of the pond water-probably still nursing). The camera zoomed in so I could see them quite close.

**LucidDreamGod** · 10-07-2006 04:06 PM

I saw the elephants too, can't wait to see a ryno, I've never saw them before but on t.v. but I guess there isn't much diffrents, except its live.

**badassbob** · 10-08-2006 05:57 AM

I don't know what I'm looking at right now. They can only be described as cow sized, four legged mammals. They have black fur. There's a few trees in the way though.

**Ne-yo** · 10-08-2006 06:04 AM

Wow this is like pretty gruesome did anyone else see those pack of hyena’s just rip through that group of mammals’ I don't know what they are I think someone else previously saw them with black fur. Oh yeah it's Feeding time!
