Virtual African Safari...........

For all you animal lovers out there, here is a link to a virtual pond in Africa. Here are some of the things I have seen since dropping in.....

Elephants (young and large)
A flock of Gnus
Guinea Fowl
Ostriches
Crocodile
Warthogs
Zebra

The site also has sound - chirping insects and clicking sounds (don't know what that is).

If you are an early bird in USA tomorrow, you will be able to see the pond in daylight. The site is sponsored by National Geographic. Cool site in itself.

Drop in - you'll LOVE it!!!! Don't forget to turn up the sound (relaxing crickets too!)

Enjoy!!!!

I watched the site this morning from work (had everyone in the office on line!) It was daylight there then and the sites are just awesome! To see these animals in their natural environment just amazes me.

Anybody a fan of *Wild Kingdom* or other National Geographic shows? I grew up watching them on Sunday nights right before Disney!

Enjoy the link guys and gals - hope you see some really neat animals! And of course, no two days (or nights) will be the same!

Pond was pretty deserted except for a lone Ibis.

Love, Maggie

It's 9:06 am here EDT and the site is hopping! This just makes my day to see the animals in their natural environment.

Aw Nuts!! Guess I missed it!! It's almost 11 now and earlier I only saw birds. Skipped right over the good parts.

Love, Shirley

Hey Wayne, this is perfect for us, and others with slow dial-up connections. While waiting for other stuff to load we can watch the waterhole on a different tab!

Thanks, Mars.

I finally saw Elephants. They were just drinking at the edge of the "hole". There were big ones, middle sized ones, and I saw a couple tiny ones.

It was so neat!!

Love, Shirley

Oh my word - I'm in heaven! It's like 1:45 a.m. there - how come I can still make out a lot of stuff - real bright moon, maybe????? When I click on the live turtlecam (in my backyard) to check on my critters, it's REAL black, and I can't even usually make out a plant or shrub.

I'm going to send this link to myself at work, both new work and old. :)

OK, now which button do I click on to beam myself there to see it all first hand?
