Key quotes
· 4 pulledA couple weeks ago I happened on this live streaming camera near a water hole in the Namib Desert and it's now my first stop every morning.
Namibia is 6 hours ahead of my U.S. Eastern Time Zone so it's really hot there when I visit and almost always there are lots of creatures hydrating.
Zebras, ostriches (which wait as a family at a safe distance), oryx, warthogs, wildebeest, jackal, bat-eared fox, spotted hyena, cape hare, red hartebeest, giraffes, springbok, elephants, etc.
If I were an elementary school teacher I'd place a big-screen TV in my classroom and turn it on to this camera's feed
