Animal & Wildlife Cams

Wildlife cams are one of the most rewarding ways to watch animals in their natural habitat without disturbing them. This category includes brown bears fishing for salmon at Brooks Falls in Alaska's Katmai National Park, elephants and antelope arriving at the Okaukuejo waterhole in Namibia's Etosha, and Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa. The sea otter and jellyfish cams at Monterey Bay Aquarium bring the underwater world to your screen too.

Watching often takes patience, since you never know which animal will turn up at a waterhole next; early morning and evening, when animals are most active, are usually the best times. The streams come from national parks, aquariums and conservation groups, so they may pause at night, out of season or during maintenance. Keep the local time in mind and check the live weather on the camera page as well.
