THe first time I clicked on the link it showed me a promo for the Bruce Willis/ Hally Berry (sp?) "Perfect Strangers" flick. THe second time I hit the link it showed me the monkey cam.

You have to usually "suffer" through an ad before the web cam comes on. I think it's worth it. besides the monkeys (vervet), I've seen elephants, zebra, jackles, and thomson's gazelle. There Zebra at the watering hole but the camera peep seems to like the monkeys. Elephants generally show up between 930 & 1030 EDT.

Not much goes on at night

You think that's bad?
BM says look at the monkeys so I click the link and I see a commercial featuring a black family . After the commercial the video hangs up.

Yikes! For a moment there it was a pretty bad "HS, WTF!" moment. Don't worry BM I know you aren't like that. lol.

Back to work for me.

Dude! As far as I can tell, the camera is being operated from dawn to dusk. With sound. Unlike most that just sit on one location, looking at a Mountain view or something. They follow animals all over that area, focus, magnify, etc. They need to pay for it, no? It's one little commercial and then the show starts

I remember the africam from when I first had access to the internet, one of the first things that I discovered that the internet had.
