OMG!

I am watching the livecam tonight and something offscreen howled. Very spooky. Both me and my dog were a little freaked out by it.

Drat! My sound hasn't been working the last month or so and I can't hear anything.

Looks like there are some hyena's or something similar across the pond.

Is it in black and white or is it because it's dark out?

PJ - thanks very much. This is fantastic. I've always thought that most of our zoos are more akin to animal lunatic asylums. The creatures there have been locked up in maximum security for most of their lives, and we know what that does to humans, so why should it be any different for animals? I would think more so, since the environments they are housed in are completely alien to their natural habitats.

Even the nature shows we see usually capture the dramatic, and don't really catch them being normal, picking their noses and hanging out, so to speak. 10 minutes ago I saw what looked like a small rhino - can't be sure - it was quick - sauntering by the water hole, and sniffing around as it went. Sauntering is the best word I could think of to capture its attitude, completely casual and authentic, like watching somebody glancing at a newspaper stand as he walks by.

Great find.

In the TV nature shows, those cute little animals always get away at the last minute. Reality might be quite troubling for a little kid.

That's not true. On The Mutual of Omaha with Marlen (?) whats his name, I saw quite a few gazelles consumed, and it didn't hurt me.

As a matter of fact I'm quite normal. Well mostly normal. ;-)

I sure don't go around killing gazelles.

About 7:45 p.m. CST and Hyenas came to drink and walk by. Boys were excited to watch that!

The sound of the insects is very loud, you can even
hear the hyenas lapping up the water and the night birds.

I keep watching to see something attack and eat something else.
