4. cooling wart hog. Very cool

[grasswire]

6. isn't it funny how they get on their knees to eat grass?

That's something I would never have known. It's kind of endearing.

[SeattleGirl]

7. I didn't know that either.

It is rather endearing.

[uppityperson]

12. as far as a 200 lb wild pig can be endearing, yes. I like her tail

it is so long and skinny with the little end tuft. Didn't know they had such long tails either.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Mrs. Warthog sure has a sashay in her step, doesn't she?

[uppityperson]

10. she is so interesting to watch

hi

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hey uppity!

I'm not sure whether to hug you or growl at you for showing us the link to this site. I am SO hooked on it!

Aw, what the heck. Here you go: :hug:

[uppityperson]

17. I know, me too.

Thanks for the hug anyways. :hi: and here is one back :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Aw, thank you!

:pals:

[grasswire]

23. uppity, I have to tell you...

....that I passed along the link to a family that is in a lot of distress. Dad just lost his job, just after he had moved his elderly mother up from the south to live nearby, rented her a home, etc. He already suffered from chronic depression, now the job loss has put him in a funk. The two teenagers have been acting out, grounded, hostile, etc. The grandma is a crazy and hostile person, adding even more pressure.

Well, now they have taken to africam and they have it up on the computer during meals and have something to talk about to take their minds off the troubles at home. The mom said "It has changed our family life." The kids are happy to get up in the morning to see what's happening, etc.

So, thanks, on behalf of them.

[SeattleGirl]

24. grasswire, your post gave me goosebumps.

How wonderful that the Africam is having such a wonderful affect on this family.

Have you ever noticed how some hospitals, and many nursing homes have large fish tanks? It's because it's been shown that watching the fish has a very positive affect on people. Apparently, so does the Africam.

Bless you for sharing this with this family. :pals:

[uppityperson]

29. That is such a nice story. I hope the best for them.

Sounds like an unhappy place to be and I am glad that they have found this and it is cheering them up. Amazing how we can get stuck and what can help. Thank you so much for posting this.

40. LOTS of activity at the watering hole this morning!

[BarenakedLady]

42. Awww

baby wildebeast with a limp. Poor thing... :(

[LuLu550]

43. Is someone actually

there pointing the camera? It sure looks like it.

[BarenakedLady]

44. Yes during the day

someone controls it. At night it is fixed at the water hole.

[cwydro]

45. I believe it is a satellite camera

with the controls elsewhere....a ranger or someone operates it from another location. When the light is just right, you can see the wires around.

[cwydro]

46. I know, poor thing

Hope it can survive. Its momma was licking it a little while ago.
