National Geographic's WildCam Africa
We  admit, there are days we wish we'd followed our nine-year-old aspirations and wandered off to Africa to study the animals. This is one of them. Pete's Pond was created by Pete Le Roux, the general manager of Botswana's Mashatu Game Reserve. Because poachers frequented the nearby Limpopo River, Pete decided to help repopulate the reserve by digging a pond to provide an alternative watering source. And with some technical help from a webcam, you can see what kind of crowd now hangs out at Pete's Pond. Get sighting updates, or just check out what the elephant and leopard researchers are spending their time on. And if you can't tell a steenbok from an eland or an African civet from a large-spotted genet, the animal gallery can help you out. If you happen to catch the pond at a slow moment, you can relive busier times with video highlights. But in only one hour, we saw a herd of elephants, a sprinkling of zebras, a variety of birds, and one lone warthog. We were working, we swear! (in Webcams) |
