Well, here we/I are/am.

what is making that noise at NK? and have we lost ep?

I swear I hear breathing..lol at NK

I cant get EP either black screen

Still a black screen at NK for me.  Don't even want to try EP.  *sigh*

no black screen for me

I have NK up but no ep...

Lion roar NK far off

yep I heard it  to. Very far off

what is at NK?  Impala?

some sort of bokkie I think at NK. 

looks like an impala..at NK

It seems thirsty but leary about drinking.   EP still down for me too btw.

Hooray somebody else heard the lion, after last night I wasn't going to say anything tonight.

sometimes i think its the wind whipping around but that was defently a lion

Got the sound cranked up now. Didn't hear the lion :(  but I will now I think... not a lot of  impala...or leopard crunching on bones in the marula tree

Hi all, I heard the lion last night and tonight. Both times was far off. The bone crunching I think some of you heard last night was probably the hyenas. They are known to eat bones and all and they have the type of teeth that can crunch bones. LOL

Hey Britter hope it doesnt scare ya when the commercial comes on. They still havnt adjusted the volume on it and it appears that they are not going to....

There was a kill in the area last night? Second reference a member made to that.

Haven't had one all day. Weird. For sure when it does happen, I'm going to hit the ceiling lol

Hi Briter, don't know for sure if there was a kill but the sounds and actions of the hyenas seemed to indicate there was food around. They probably stole a kill from another animal. Maybe if a leopard had a kill they got a hold of it or at least got some morsels that may have fallen to the ground. Purely speculation.

We've seen before a hyena steal a baby wildebeest a leopard had killed. Then the leopard stole it back, then in it's haste to tree it... the leopard accidently dropped it from the Marula tree and hyena stole it again. LOL Next day it was reported that the leopard followed the hyena and stole the prize back again.

plz tell me what you have done to not get 1 (lol)...the other day I did notice i went past the 20 min but by just a few sec.

Did you just hear a sawing type sound, like leopard??

I wish I didn't get the commercials.  I'm getting tired of that little boy being on a budget but my mute finger is getting quicker.     Just heard the lion again at NK.

Not a clue, just hope I keep doing it! Linked through Africam site so should be getting them.

Now I feel I'm missing something lol

 Probably what I just heard too.

'Night, sleep well

I couldn't tell if the far off call was lion or leopard. Didn't hear the usual roar before it like you do with a lion.
