I don't understand why this is interesting...

If you happen to catch it while dinner is being had, it would be very interesting.

 

[big man]

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

 

[Danger]

Cool... a pond in its natural habitat. However did they manage to sneak the camera up to it like that without scaring it away?

 

[hypatia]

ohh and it has a sort of night vision!

 

[Evo]

Well, you all know what I'll be doing tonight.

Thanks Kia, this is cool!

 

[Evo]

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.

 

[Evo]

Ooooh, a giraffe!

 

[Evo]

I dedicate this one to Artman. :!) Rhino love.

 

[edward]

I just noticed that the elephants left a terrible mess. We need a volunteer to clean up.

 

[Evo]

Look at the great picture Math Is Hard captured!

 

[hypatia]

yes you can tell when something big has been there. Right now a bunch of little birds are drinking.

 

[Evo]

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! It seems they like to get in there and splash around at night. (I guess they think no one's watching! )

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

 

[hypatia]

I love it too, and keep it up a lot. Its really interesting.

 

[Math Is Hard]

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.

[Evo]

oooh, nice elephant!

 

[Evo]

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

 

[Math Is Hard]

Evo, I can't see your pics...

 

[Evo]

I was referring to the pictures they post of recent activity under the live webcam. Check them out.

 

[Math Is Hard]

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!

I hadn't checked in for a few days.

 

[Math Is Hard]

[Evo]

Busy morning at the water hole!

[Evo]

How pretty! Looks like they've had some rain.

 

[hypatia]

lmao@ ele butt! I haven't looked in a few days, but I seem to catch the aftermath, of a big pool party!

 

[hypatia]

I got a butt!:rofl:

 

[Evo]

That's one bushy tail! :tongue:

 

[hypatia]

And he seems to be so proud of it!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Hypatia and Evo, have you ever been to Africa? Gosh, I'd like to go.

 

[Evo]

No I haven't. I'm afraid the park cam is about the closest I'll be getting. been broken all day. I got a big fat hippo the other night.

Perhaps the sisterhood should go on safari.

 

[hypatia]

I have been to Egypt, but never to the jungles or plains. I do know of someone who has stayed at this very same park, and has told me wonderful stories.

 

[Math Is Hard]

No I haven't. I'm afraid the park cam is about the closest I'll be getting. been broken all day.

Sorry. That was my fault. I was tapping on the monitor at one of the elephants and she saw me.
Maybe I will dig a waterhole in the backyard and put a cam on that. People in Africa can watch my raccoons and possums and squirrels.

They are cool, aren't they? They seem to like to take a dip in the evenings.

That would be awesome! The parks have been trying to raise money for other cameras in different areas, so a couple of weeks ago I chipped in a little bit for one that was getting really close to making it's goal. So, I just got some good news - there is a new cam going up soon in an area called Satara camp. There are supposed to be many predators that frequent this area so we may get to see a lot of big cats.
