I thought this thread was dead.

[Pengin4192]

I thought this thread was dead.
Meh, for the most part

[krbarrett77]

so i get in tonight, take the giant pee i've been waiting to take for 2 hrs, set down my two gyros i shouldn't have bought and think to myself, "know what i could go for?" "Some goddamn african water hole!" I search for the thread, find it's been promoted to chat thread status (congrats by the way) and click the link.

I'm greeted by the most terrifying matrix-faced gentleman i have ever seen in my life. "This video is pirated!" he exclaims...

wtf? who is he and what has he done with my hole.

[JamesM]

did something just walk infront of the screen?

[CornellDMBfan]

:D Elephant!

[CornellDMBfan]

[Emanu]

[marylovesafrica]

[Emanu]

I finally saw a bunch of those wild dog, hihenas

[marylovesafrica]

So this place is all the way dead now, I presume?

[whiteysax]

so it would seem...

[tankdan]

Oh man, good memories. I remember back in October when this first came up, I must have spent a majority of my time in that first forty-eight hours watching this webcam. It looks like it's now a mini-video on wavelit.com, so you can still watch it.

I should check it more often, I miss seeing the zebras...

I will never forget the night of the Egret sighting, though. Good times. :thumbsup

[tankdan]

Alright, it's finally morning and the camera guy is giving us a good pan-around of the area. Cmooooon, zebras!

[hylidaea]

I liked when the lions ate the big moose-type thing. Then one lioness took a looooooong nap next to the carcass with her belly all poking out. Here's a screen shot: http://antsmarching.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=37071&d=1167111045

Only the top of the wilderness food chain could lay around like this, belly exposed without a care! :lol

[UNLTrpt]

hey folks. haven't logged on to the egret cam in a long time. maybe that's something to do tonight.

[swordo84]

oh, hell yes! though I would rather have Discovery broadcast the BBC version with David Attenborough narrating instead of Sigourney Weaver

this thread is feeling a serious lack of love!

[tankdan]

Wow, sorry, Ty... it's a shame that you've had to single-handedly keep this thread alive the past week...

I'll turn on the webcam and chat with you, how's that?

Dan

[CornellDMBfan]

Ah, Dan! Wish I'd seen your post sooner - I'm studying for a lab practical final that I have tomorrow. Coincidentally, it's for mammalogy, and includes African antelope (which are in the same family as cows, believe it or not!). At any rate, it's time for bed - but I'll be back tomorrow night!

Good luck on your final! Mine don't start until next Wednesday... PLUS I might be going to the Red Sox game tomorrow, so that's awesome, too.

Good luck again! Remember, fish are friends, not food.

Dan

Edit: Ooooo, I think we just switched over to color from night-vision! Goooood morning, Africa!

[yankees26mlb]

I am going to South africa, and staying in a lodge in the same park (Kruger Nation Park) as the watering hole... in only 3 weeks.

WOW. That is SOOOOO cool! If you find the watering hole, PLEASE take pictures! I remember back in October when we first found this, everyone was talking about going to Africa and waving to the camera...

Anyway, I'm glad to see that we got pruned, I think this is the only thread I post in that actually was snipped. Cool!

which lodge will you be staying at in Kruger? I've been twice and have stayed in most of the major lodges, and a couple smaller ones. definitely my favorite national park in the whole world! you should see if you can make it to the Sabi Sabi reserve, which abuts Kruger, and get on the cam for us all to see :D

[eachibon]

I miss this thread :(

[dreamingtreeIU]

[CornellDMBfan]

nice Burchell's Zebras hanging around the ol' hole

[CornellDMBfan]

awww, they're nuzzling each other!

[CornellDMBfan]

4 zebras, now . . . one of them has an oxpecker, probably Red-billed

[CornellDMBfan]

and one of them . . . is definitely a male zebra. wow.

[CornellDMBfan]

3 of the zebras wandered off into the bush . . . one remains

[CornellDMBfan]

Elephant!!!

[CornellDMBfan]

I am back from South Africa. I stayed at Bongani Lodge which borders Kruger. Saw many great things, such as a pack of wild dogs chasing a leopard up a tree

[BDJCL3]

hey everybody!

it's been awhile on the watering hole, what happened to the first part?

[BDJCL3]

that's awesome. I bet you had a great time, I'm interested in going at some point.

Was it extremely expensive?

[jcc522]

I hate that "green screen" bullshit... how do you fix it? i already downloaded the new version of windows media...what else should i do

[[DMB]TheGurl]

Nice to see this hasn't vanished.
I haven't watched the watering hole in forever. Gotta fix that :)

[spoot388]

I miss this thread. I spent every wee hour of the morning for like 2 1/2 weeks in here watching this thing.

[CornellDMBfan]

ever wonder why giraffes have such long necks? here's one reason: http://youtube.com/watch?v=C7HCIGFdBt8

[CornellDMBfan]

oh, and . . . there's not much going on at the ol' watering hole at the moment

[CornellDMBfan]

there is a giraffe headbutting a buffalo skull right now!

[CornellDMBfan]

haha . . . and people walking around in the background!

[CornellDMBfan]

it actually kind of looks like the giraffe is just grazing immediately in front of the skull . . . either way, it's kind of weird.


and an African Fish Eagle just called

[CornellDMBfan]

damn those frogs are going craaaazy

[CornellDMBfan]

Cleopatra and Rodney are on!

[CornellDMBfan]

(they're Egyptian Geese)

[CornellDMBfan]

this thread needs to return to the regular forum . . . it gets no love in the chat forum

[yankees26mlb]

I believe the waterign hole madness began about a year ago....it was insane at first

hows the hole been doing, havent seen it in a long long time

[yankees26mlb]

in fact the watering hole was so insane that it inspired me to visit south africa this past may

[CornellDMBfan]

[yankees26mlb]

Bongani Mountain Lodge right off the border of Kruger National Park. It was really an amazing experience, from seeing a wild male lion, hyenas, a pack of wild dogs chasing a leopard up a tree, and more. I went to Kruger for a day, it was massive...but many more animals

Kruger is fantastic . . . I've been there twice. Your experience sounds amazing - wild dogs chasing a leopard is truly astounding! two of Africa's most difficult to see mammals, and you saw them interacting! awesome

[eachibon]

I'll have to check in on our old webcam.

You can open this in winamp or VLC (or possibly wmp) to access the egret cam directly or this page in a browser http://www.africam.com/nkhoro_cam1.php.

Rodney and Cleopatra are the local Egyptian Geese that frequent the pond. I've seen another pair with them a couple times - visitors, perhaps? Maybe we should think of names for them, too.
Name them Adolf and Eva Braun.

beautiful day in paradise . . .

[CornellDMBfan]

nice male Impala

[CornellDMBfan]

quick! quick! quick! GO LOOK! A male Southern Ground Hornbill!

[CornellDMBfan]

niiiiiiiiiiice! add that one to the list of sightings! it's a NEW ONE!

[CornellDMBfan]

oooh . . . there are three of them

[CornellDMBfan]

a troop of Vervet Monkeys have arrived!

[CornellDMBfan]

how exciting . . . finally some action!

[CornellDMBfan]

definitely Google "Southern Ground Hornbill" if you missed it. but enjoy the monkey show now!

[CornellDMBfan]

Impala and a Burchell's Zebra with a Cape Buffalo skull in the foreground . . . pretty cool

[CornellDMBfan]

the egret's henchman hath returned! THE SADDLE-BILLED STORK!

[CornellDMBfan]

Bueller? Bueller?


c'mon, people!




THIS COULD MEAN THE RETURN OF EGRET!

[Egret]

somebody called?

[TwoStep2888]

somebody called?

Praise you. :egret

/worship

[TwoStep2888]

I've had this thing playing for three days now. I still forget to post in the thread, because I don't go into Chat Threads SubForum, but I've been watching attentively, like the old days.

[TwoStep2888]

It's great to see Jabiru (Saddle-Billed Stork) again.

[TwoStep2888]

Jabiru, the Angel of Death, is still here. Unbelievable. Egret has to be showing up soon. It's inevitable.

[TwoStep2888]

SDLTs, and a zebra.

[TwoStep2888]

WCG totally lost focus of Jabiru. Good to see he's still hilariously incompetent.

[TwoStep2888]

Aww, now we're down to one SDLT, and it's wandering slowly out of the frame... :(

[TwoStep2888]

:lol SDLT just wandered randomly through the frame. WCG has yet to respond to any of this.

[CornellDMBfan]

skittish impala . . . wonder if there's a predator about . . .

[CornellDMBfan]

WCG went off to smoke some crack with SetListGuy

[TwoStep2888]

I'll bet Egret's chilling poolside right now, while we're looking at trees. Lame, WCG. Very lame.

[TwoStep2888]

WCG went off to smoke some crack with SetListGuy

Someone ought to help WCG with his drug problem. He's turned from the path of Egret. It's very sad.

[TwoStep2888]

skittish impala . . . wonder if there's a predator about . . .

Maybe you're avatar will show up. That'd be fun. Of course, WCG wouldn't get back to his post until all the action was long gone.

[CornellDMBfan]

Someone ought to help WCG with his drug problem. He's turned from the path of Egret. It's very sad.

or I could just take his job

[TwoStep2888]

WCG's back! Thank Egret. As much as I love staring at trees, it was getting a little old.

[CornellDMBfan]

are those lions under that tree?

[TwoStep2888]

or I could just take his job

That would work, too. :D

Now, remind me. What's a SDLT (Sickly Deer-Looking Thing)? An impala, or something else? It's been a while.

[TwoStep2888]

are those lions under that tree?

Maybe. They're the right color. Would impala be chillaxing so close to lions, though?

[CornellDMBfan]

the distance from impala to tan-colored things under tree to lodge is tough to judge!

[TwoStep2888]

the distance from impala to tan-colored things under tree to lodge is tough to judge!

True.

EDIT: I think those might actually be lions. Fun.

[CornellDMBfan]

Maybe. They're the right color. Would impala be chillaxing so close to lions, though?

if the lions were full from a recent meal . . . I've seen zebras standing within a couple hundred meters watching lions eat (another zebra)

[TwoStep2888]

Come on, lions. Give Africam a bloody 'R' rating. Those impala are getting mighty cocky anyway, if you ask me.

[TwoStep2888]

There's something almost wrong about that. Nature is fucking cold sometimes, though. I watched Planet Earth.

[TwoStep2888]

I'm watching Resort Staff Guy in the background right now. Nature sure is fascinating!

[TwoStep2888]

Ty, you're in Africa, right? How far are you from Egret's Pond?

[TwoStep2888]

Impala are leaving. Zebra's sticking around. Maybe-Lions are still asleep.

[TwoStep2888]

Ok, those are not lions. Thanks for the zoom, WCG.

[CornellDMBfan]

I'm watching Resort Staff Guy in the background right now. Nature sure is fascinating!
haha I noticed that, too
Ty, you're in Africa, right? How far are you from Egret's Pond?
nah, I'm in Seattle at the moment. I'll be in Kenya in about 6 weeks . . . then in about 7.5 months I'll be within 100 miles of Egret's Pond!

[CornellDMBfan]

Ok, those are not lions. Thanks for the zoom, WCG.

hahaha fucking lion rocks! cool zebra, though

[CornellDMBfan]

cool buff skull

[TwoStep2888]

nah, I'm in Seattle at the moment. I'll be in Kenya in about 6 weeks . . . then in about 7.5 months I'll be within 100 miles of Egret's Pond!

Ah, alright. I knew you were going to be in Africa at some point. In 7.5 months, I think you should take a drive down to the pond, and steal some lion rocks as souvenirs.

[TwoStep2888]

cool buff skull

Very cool.

[TwoStep2888]

You can see the decomposition. Exciting. Fuck the writer's strike. I have this now.
