Herd of ellies!

DanaPhx

Haven't the ellie sightings the last few days been great. The sounds are wonderful - hearing them slurping and sucking up the water. I've been off from work this week and have watching the evening activities. Pete's Pond rocks!

CarlaM

I agree Dana! Only a couple more weeks of PP though I will miss it and all the critters.

waterbucks getting awfully up close and personal with the croc. not sure who to root for.

The third season of NG's WildCam Africa has been extended until December 30, 2007! It was scheduled to end on December 15th.

I was just "pondering" the possibilities of how to celebrate the season's last night.

Pete's Pond will now be on all year! Yay! I just read it on the Africam site. What a great Christmas gift!

What a beautiful day at Pete's Pond, as well as the Nkorho cam. Makes me REALLY want to be there. *Sigh* Oh well, 4 more months to go and it will happen.

All you birders should check out Pete's Pond. There has been some amazing bird action lately. And this am there was a herd of ellies with 2 tiny newborns. Right now is the resident croc Fatty. Last week he had an intruder (croc) but he chased it away.

National geographic, Pete's Pond and Mashatu are working on keeping the cam up all year round.

Pete's Pond is back LIVE! There is a herd of elephants there now along with a newborn, so sweet. <)

Carla my wife and I are so jealous of your trip to Mashatu. If we could we would be there right now.

Have fun and if you have any questions let us know.

Here is an adorable video of the baby at the Pond yesterday morning.

There were more babies today!

Scott, are you planning another trip back there anytime soon? It's been over 2 years since my last trip to Africa so I am very eager to return. Been reading the cyberdiaries at both Mashatu and Mala Mala, lots of great sightings as usual. So glad the WildCam is back up and running, love it!

Not planning anything right now...but I am saving for another trip.

herd of wildebeast

CarlaM

Scootr, went to check out your photos and voila, they are gone!

some brand new baboons are playing this morning. just too cute.

now some wildebeast are in for a drink and chasing a zebra around.

virginia

an odd zebra at that. she has almost all white legs.

The wild dogs that have been in quarantine at Mashatu for the past several months are being released this morning (9am Botswana time).

A couple of them are collared and some have already been seen mating, so with any luck, if they decide to den in the area, we have a chance of seeing pups this July.

Hoping they decide to cruise by Pete's Pond for a drink so we can see them live on the WildCam. <)

Huge elephant action at the pond for the past couple hours now.
