This can be pretty cool if you catch it at the right time. Last night (when it was 7am there) I saw zebras, gazelles and wildebeasts.

Just a little link for those of you that are interested :)
That's really cool Kel. Thanks 4 the link. :)
You're welcome! I'm a pretty big dork and I watched it for about 30 minutes last night. There was a pretty big animal party at the watering hole then, but it's empty now :( haha.
i saw elephants earlier! trust me my friends, if you have patience and check back every once and a while, you will eventually see something.
i love this kind of stuff :)
That's fantastic! Thanks Kel.
I just saw bigfoot! I swear!
QuoteI just saw bigfoot! I swear!
Last night there was this grunting sound but I couldn't see anything...then i saw a blob moving around in the darkness.
could have been big foot maybe :o
I love the sound. I think I'm going to turn it up real loud, get in my daughter's Barbie Tent, turn out all the lights, and pretend like I'm camping.
:D
There are all these lil monkeys runnin round. :D Love It!!!
I can't view it. Anyone else have a mac? What do i need to download?

Lots of noise but no animals right now...
I have yet to get an animal but the anticipation is fantastic.
When ya'll see sumpin', please report it here!
about 1 this morning the camera was faced in a diffeternt direction and there was a herd of what appeared to be wildebeast and a herd of something else...
i still haven't seen any animals...yet
We could totally turn this into a drinking game.
QuoteWe could totally turn this into a drinking game.
elephant, take three drinks
lion, take four drinks
thanks kel, i'm addicted to watching this.
rhinos right now!
i saw it!!!! finally, justice
ok, they left.
it's weird...the FIRST time I saw it, it was 7am there and there were TONS of animals, tons. well, not tons of different kinds, but you know what i mean. now i rarely see anything, but I do check back from time to time.
i saw those elephants yesterday and the camera zoomed in on them fighting.
Quotei saw it!!!! finally, justice
YAY! There were two, but one left pretty much right after I said something. The other one bailed shortly thereafter.
the rhino is back...but kel, did you see dr. dog?
A flock of rhinos!
I was starting to wonder if this was a joke, and in a couple weeks they would pull the camera back to reveal that it's just a retention pond at a mall in Kansas.
i love this!! :)
There were a lot of animals a few seconds ago and some crazy sounds like there might be a fight! Then it got real quiet. This is really cool!
Quotethe rhino is back...but kel, did you see dr. dog?
Yes, I did and OH MY GOD they were great. They rocked my face off.
Then we got to talk to them just for a few minutes after their set. Really down to earth guys. Overall, it was a great night!

i showed up early, to see if i had to do anything special since i order my tickets the day of the show. and the band was at the bar when i walked in, and i talked to Frank for a little while. but Old Styles were getting drank. heavily.
Quotewhoa more elephants!!

no i didn't see that, thats funny!!
and the show, it was a blast. although i didn't enjoy the history lesson on the lower east side of new york by the opening band. i mean, i get it, you're from new york. did they give that lesson in chicago? but dr. dog was awesome!! i definitely will see them again. oh and the second band was good too
This is so great! I really regret not going to the bush when I spent some time in South Africa. These sounds alone make me want to go back.

And I had to miss the opener because my friends that I was attending the dr. dog show with had a show of their own that night! they literally played, took their stuff down, we hopped in a cab, then got there just in time for the dr. dog set. it was fun though!

he was the second act. they rocked...loudly (of course the place was really small) i never got the name of the first band. and thanks for reminding me what the second band was, i forgot.
and going from one show to another, hopping in a cab, and just making it in time... thats rock n' roll!!
I swear the animals have gotten wise to the fact that they were on camera & are all drinking at the adjacent watering hole...so much noise but still not a single animal :-/
QuoteI swear the animals have gotten wise to the fact that they were on camera & are all drinking at the adjacent watering hole...so much noise but still not a single animal :-/
i have it on as well, and when i hear some noise, i'll switch to the site, and nothing to see. i agree, they know whats up. but as i wrote this a wild boar is walking up.
Quotebut as i wrote this a wild boar is walking up.
Either you're messing with my head & it was never there or it's gone now.
Are those power lines in the background? You sure this isn't a set up? ;)

i think those are powerlines too. i take it you haven't seen an animal yet?
Not yet...but the anticipation alone is exciting.
Here's hoping my first animal won't be something shit like a springbok ;)
elephant!!!!!!
[size=48]ELEPHANT!!![/size]
You beat me to it ;D
QuoteYou beat me to it ;D
sure i beat you to it, but you beat me in size :-[
Is that an African or Asian elephant do you think? I can never tell the difference ;)
To be honest I was hoping my first animal would be a lion, how's about we delete these posts Capt & pretend this never happened? ;)
my first one was a rhino, at least you got an elephant. pretty soon there better be some killings. should we delete and just say we saw a lion?
they're making some weird noises right now....and, i don't know if those are powerlines or not, they aren't usually there during the day.
Rhinos! Seriously wow...
Something is making some crazy growling & snarling sounds somewhere...

ha ha, me too last nite for a time. It could of been baboons. Who is watching the 11 part series Planet Earth on Discovery channel? Caught the first two episodes last nite on my dvr. It is so amazing. A baboon screaming in part one sounded exactly like what made me turn the volume down.
I just saw a yellow lab, chasing a frisbee. Seriously. That was weird.

Haha, really? I'm sure that there are people that live there, right in that area. It has to be some sort of station or what not. Or a reserve.
Here's the main website, I think that there might be more cameras too:

okay, i'm being a huge dork with this.
here's a link to all the animals that have been seen at the watering hole:

I haven't laughed this hard in a while now.
Sean, Planet Earth is the best thing to ever come out of a tv set. It makes me really really sad though. I will say High Definition is where it's at, you haven't lived until you've seen a Great White shark jump out of the water in super slow motion/high definition.

Sweet, I was hoping I had a chance at a giraffe. My favorite animal.
I would love to see that Caracal too.

Word. About the Great White. :o I rewound that bit a few times. Unbelievable!!! The whole thing! Watching part 3 esta noche. Don't have high def but it still looks aWeSoMe on my 27 inch screen. I'm taking care of my friends cat this week he has a hidef 80 or so inch screen. But he hasn't paid his cable bill. :-/
I think I saw Bigfoot too and he moved the camera to the right.
Hooray for Giraffe sighting posibilities, and thanks again Kel for the link action! :D
Yeah, you are going to love part three.......wait till you see the nautilus!!!
I finally got on board with the Planet Earth and have 4 or 5 episodes being snared by my Moxi over the next several days. Can't wait to see them.

I haven't seen Planet Earth yet but I have most of David Attenborough's nature shows for the BBC (Life On Earth, Life On Earth, Trials Of Life, Life Of Mammals, Life Of Birds etc)
Sir David is one of my heroes!

elephant alert!
Is it always in black and white or do I just keep catching it at night time?
I think I just saw a shooting star. I'm very serious about this, please tell me someone else witnessed that.
QuoteIs it always in black and white or do I just keep catching it at night time?
you're always catching it at night. there is definitely color during the day :) as for the shooting star thing, i've seen that before too, a light streaking through the sky. it's either a shooting star or some sort of bug, because i saw one happen REALLY close to the camera once.
anyone still watching? the animals are out and about.
the camera zoomed in on like 4 zebras, and right then one of them took a dump. ;D ahhh nature ;D
first time watching it in a while, and i get a nice welcome back.
monkeys
Tripps! Your avatar is awesome, Its James Harrison tackling someone who ran on the field. They didn't show it because the camera guys doing the game are not supposed to follow people when that happens. So I didn't see it but i was watching that game.
Quoteanyone still watching? the animals are out and about.
I'm not as addicted as I used to be, but I still check it every now and then :)
