elephants!
Lookit this! National Geographic hooked up a live webcam at a watering hole in Africa. I got to watch a little elephant run across the screen and a bigger elephant trundle after it. Sure I could just watch nature specials on tv but there's a spontaneous joy in catching them over a webcam.
"Linking the live WildCam Africa Internet video camera from one of the most remote locations in southern Africa to a satellite hovering 22,500 miles (36,200 kilometers) above the Earth’s equator was the easy part. The challenge was how to keep baboons from messing with the camera, prevent insects from slithering inside the computer, and protect the whole setup from curious elephants."
Go to National Geographic's Wildcam!
