WildCam Africa Viewing Extended; Crane Cam Coming Soon; Take a WildCam Trip!

Crocodile Fatty catches a catfish at Pete's Pond Image from WildCam Africa Dear WildCam Fans,   WildCam Africa Viewing Extended into 2008 By popular demand, for the first time in our program's history, we have extended WildCam Africa viewing into the "wet season." As many of our community members have posted online, we have seen some amazing video footage thus far in 2008—from crocodile Fatty's catfish catch, to a small elephant stampede, to wrestling warthogs. Also, we are installing a brand new camera on site in Botswana. With this updated technology, Afke, our camera operator, will be able to zoom in even closer than before, bringing you even more magnificent views of wildlife at the Pond. Thank you for your patience while we set up this new system. Crane Cam 2008 – Coming Soon! Crane Cam returns to the Rowe Sanctuary in Gibbon, Nebraska, for its fifth season. We will broadcast the annual migration of the sandhill cranes live from the Platte River beginning around March 7th.
