In his column in today’s San Francisco Chronicle, Jon Carroll talks about National Geographic’s new Wildcam – “a live video feed from a remote watering hole in Botswana. You can watch elephants, wildebeest, giraffes, baboons and ostriches coming down to feed, interacting in interesting ways, hanging out.”
From the Wildcam site:
Embark on a quiet adventure and watch wildlife gather at Pete’s Pond. Baby baboons scurry in the dust. Wildebeests push and shove to make room at the watering hole. Warthogs wallow in the mud. Catch these moments and more in these video clips.
Jon goes on: “The best viewing hours are in the middle of the night [Pacific] time, but as it gets into the summer months down there, there should be more action from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., so you can wake up to a wildebeest.”
The whole column is worth reading. That’s true of pretty much every Jon Carroll column. He’s in the Chronicle Monday through Friday.
Update: More information about “Pete’s Pond”
