I don't remember when it is on but when Fox News did a promo on it I noticed underneath the picture it said ' tigers in Africa '  not lions. I had to just shake my head and smile on that one LOL

9 p.m. for me too Chardon.

It sounded like we had a leopard fight ( off cam ) ranger report.   Wish they would come back and at least get a drink.

With our broadband plans, you get only a certain amount of downloads allowwed in that plan.  It varies, depending which ISP and which plan you have.  After that, you either have to pay for the extra downloads or they put you back to dial-up speed until the end of the billing month :(  With ours, it goes back to dial-up, which would be pretty useless.  So I only stay on for a short while each time.

Yep, I do check out the pics and videos, when I've missed something.

Golly, I would love to come over there, for a visit.  Can't see it ever happening though.  Went to South Africa last year to visit hubby's family.  Didn't think I would ever do that either.  It was a real treat.

Ok, I get it. Hope they don't think of that here! They might if they thought it would make a bigger profit. Undecided

Well, I can watch it as long as I like, until I've used up all the download limits for the month. Then its dial up speed  :(  I haven't got to tha..yet....been close lately though. lol.

I used to think all internet plans were to same, until I discovered Africam and found you guys can watch all day and night

Had to come back and share this news with everyone. I just saw an Ad on my local TV that Waste Management, one of the choices I have for garbage pick up in my neighborhood, is a supporter of National Elephant Center  . They have set aside over 300 acres in Central Florida for an Elephant Habitat. Elephants will start ariving in 2009, so maybe some of our Elephants will escape the cull !!!  Guess who will be picking up my garbage next week ?   :-)

WD, that is wonderful!!!!!  Waste Management is our garbage pick up also.

You will have to keep us up to speed on how that is going.
