Live Africa Cam

[Lise]

Ah crap. You know my what my attention span is like........

[kitten]

When I checked a while ago the site was down due to a severe thunderstorm.   This morning between 5 and 7 was awesome with all the different animals.But it's after 10 P.M.  there now, so there wouldn't be much activity.  

[Lise]

Glad you can view that, kitten. So far.... no such luck with me. Damn site is too busy.

[kitten]

I got through to Africacam., but that's when I found out the site was down for the time being.

[P.C.]

Kitten, where are you finding info on why the cam is down?  It opens in Windows Media Player for me, so of course there is nothing but connected or not connected.  

[kitten]

It was around ten this morning that they posted it, and after that I've been getting the same thing you are.

[Sportsdude]

Last time I saw it a bunch of cattle looking animals were drinking water. Pretty cool.

[kitten]

Have you tried to get it today? First thing this morning around 6 there were warthogs, and 3 giraffes and afterward those cattle-like creatures arrived.  It was so interesting that I hated to leave for work.

Hi Sportsdude[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a010.gif" border=0]

  I've seen zebras, monkeys, wildebeests, an elephant, some kudus (or some kind of African antelope-ish animal) and some wild boars (?)

  The first time there is a scuffle of any kind, I'll be done.  

[kitten]

I read somewhere that the animals won't attack each other at a waterhole.  I've noticed that each group comes singly, and there were some smaller deer-like creatures at the water when they saw three elephants approaching.  They left immediately, and returned later.

[P.C.]

Cool !  I wondered when I saw the elephant, why it was alone.  Is this normal?

[kitten]

I think so.  I thought that they always travel in groups, but if it was alone it might have lingered after the others were out of camera range.  I saw that with a zebra the other night.  The others had wandered back while she was still by the water, and then she stopped to graze.

[Lise]

The animals won't attack one another because they understand the mutual need for water.... at least in most cases. I think I saw that on the Discovery channel or something like that. But don't tell that to the crocodiles.

  10.54am and loud noises of 'frogs'(??)

[kitten]

Crickets?
