Live Cams: Animal Planet Live!

http://animal.discovery.com/cams/pandavidr.html This is a new site from the Animal Planet that shows baby pandas born 7/9/05. With nothing more than RealPlayer installed (get it free from this site) you can watch live images of Mei Xiang, a giant panda, and her newborn cub at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The cub was born at 3:41 a.m. on Saturday, July 9. Mother and cub appear to be doing just fine. Zoo keepers were happy to see Mei Xiang cradling and cuddling her cub only two minutes after its birth.
While the subjects may change, this site often has live cams from various places. Kids can get a virtual sense of the world around them, unscripted and unedited. It's a fun activity for ages 3 and up.
