I don't understand why this is interesting...
 
If you happen to catch it while dinner is being had, it would be very interesting.
 
Because it's a picture of a watering hole at the Kruger National Park in South Africa?? You get to see wildlife.

Pretty cool...cheers for the link
 
Cool... a pond in its natural habitat. However did they manage to sneak the camera up to it like that without scaring it away?
 
ohh and it has a sort of night vision!
 
Well, you all know what I'll be doing tonight. :redface:

Thanks Kia, this is cool!
 
Duh, I'm sitting here watching the animals and it didn't occur to me to save a picture. Ok, here's one walking away.

Okay, let's see who can get the best pictures.

It's morning the big animals will start showing up. Oh, I see big wet footprints tracking away and there's water everywhere, what did I miss?

hmm.. must have been another elephant hot tub party! :smile: It seems they like to get in there and splash around at night. (I guess they think no one's watching! :biggrin: )

I think this is one of my most favorite websites of all time. Thanks, Kia.

I seem to have good luck with pulling up the cam right when the elephants come by. I just saw another beautiful one a few minutes ago.

Check out some of the recent activity shots. Party time! :smile:

Evo, I can't see your pics... :frown:
 
  • #21
I was referring to the pictures they post of recent activity under the live webcam. Check them out.

oh, ok.. yeah, I look at them every evening before I leave work (they have a forum for the daily cam shots). A couple of days ago the cam got knocked out and the last thing we saw was a HUGE elephant butt coming directly at us!
