OG, you HAVE to check this one out:

http://www9.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/wildcamafrica/?fs=www3.nationalgeographic.com

It is Pete's Pond in Botswana. Right now it is just past sunrise and I have only watched for a couple minutes, but I have seen herds of antelope, exotic birds and now an elephant. Just unbelievable.

This is in the wild, not a zoo.

I've had Pete's Pond for quite awhile now, but the Wavelit site has a wonderful large screen format. This morning I was treated to a huge cape buffalo bull. What a giant! Also the zebra herd. The babies were cavorting all over the place and also nursing from their mamas. Too cute for words.

Oh, okay, I tried the Wavelit one the other day and there was no image. Today I get an image but there are big streaks of white going across it all the time. I am using Firefox. So I tried IE, and it works fine. Thanks! Does the Wavelit website have an accompanying website that identifies the animals? Or maybe they are identified on that one. I didn't poke around there very long.

Wavelit's former self had a timed list of what had just been seen. I sort of tried to find it this morning, but I don't guess their new format has it. Darn, it was interesting to see what had been coming by in the recent last hour or so.

Same for me, but it goes through these hiccups from time to time. It will be fine later.

Those are baboons, Nancy. I've been watching them too. I watched what was probably an older daughter trying to get a baby away from a mom. It was real cute watching her trying to be so casual, and when she thought mom wasn't watching, she'd grab for the baby, but mom always had a firm grip on the baby. This happened several time.

I liked seeing that they just so naturally walked backward .. two of the adults did that. So it isn't just something fored upon them in a circus .

and yeah, how they worked together to get the baby out. As soon as the little one fell in, one, two, three, the adults moved over to help.

Or is that.. well hmm.. what ever they were they submerged and splashed around and lumbered off.. Elephants perhaps.. lol.. I'll leave that post above, embarassing as it might be but my eyes and B&W and they looked too short for eles... but hippos would have been swimming, not splashing and leaving.. rhinos?

I think hippos might be river animals rather than frequenters of a small pond. Probably not hippos, but you sure got my attention. LOL.
