It'd really suck if the lions wanted to catch this "beetle" xD

They did, so they tied a rope to it to pull it back. Lions won.

Those are great. I'm really into watching live animal cams. Here are a few I'm watching.

She's got 2 cubs. She is still hibernating but if you're lucky you can catch the cubs squirming around.

There are 3 eggs. I watched from the time the eggs hatched last year (got to see one actually hatch) until they fledged. It was really interesting. I could go on but I'll try to resist.

Elephants, zebras, giraffes,monkeys

I love the shots of the cubs watching the beetle cam. They really are just like big house cats.

That was awesome.

I feel sad when they have flies on their faces though, I want to get rid of them.

Just click on the word "LIVE CAMS" on the belt above the smaller pics. My favourite is the one of the Beluga Whales.
