I realize these animals aren’t necessarily part of Bay Area wildlife, but honestly how could I resist?
If I could bring lions to your living room, bears to your bedroom and kudus in your kitchen - you’d want me to share that with you, right?
Wild animals from around the world are here at your fingertips through webcams that are set up in every land, on every continent.
What you’ll be witnessing is live animals in real time living their lives - while you’re living yours.
Some of the webcams are streaming cams and some are 10 -15 second updated videos. At some sites you’ll find that registration is necessary, but I assure you it’s worth it. Cruise through them at your leisure and find a couple you really enjoy so you can visit these beautiful animals everyday.
I hope you’ll watch the world’s wild animals with wonder, amazement and respect. I find that when people can get close to wildlife, they begin to understand them. With understanding comes attachment and finally, protectiveness. This is how I’d like everyone to feel about the wild creatures that share our world.
Watch the cams. Be in awe.
