Live Cams of Animals

While the kids are home for the Summer, and when they’re wanting to rest (or you need them to rest), virtual tours are a nice thing. Here, I’ve collected several live animal cams. My favorite are the ones of the animals in their natural habitat, but I also included a zoo and two aquariums.

watch the live bear cam at Katmai national park

Katmai National Park in Alaska keeps a live bear cam going during the Summer, when the salmon are migrating. As I write, at 6:30pm at Katmai National Park, I can see 6 bears in the cam. Three bears are lazily sitting in the water (yes, sitting – they look very full). Three bears are at the top of the waterfall, catching salmon, which is no difficult task, as there are so many salmon, a bear only has to open its mouth.

Visit the Katmai National Park Bear Cam

View the Live Panda CAm at zoo Atlanta

It was best watching bears in their natural habitat, like we did in the bear cam above, but I haven’t found a panda cam that is live in the wild (I think they’re shy that way). Zoo Atlanta has a panda cam set up for viewing. It becomes dark when daylight is no longer, so expect a black screen if you’re viewing in the evening.

Live aviary, ocean, and aquarium cams from Monterey Bay

Monterey Bay Aquarium has several great live cams to watch. Most of the cams are live from 7a.m. to 7p.m. PST daily. When the cams are off, you can still view the day’s pre-recorded cam. The Monterey Bay Aquarium live cams include these:

Aviary Live Cam

Coral Reef Live Cam with TropicalFish

Jellyfish Live Cam

Kelp Forest Live Cam with Sardines and Leopard Sharks

Monterey Bay Live Cam – search for sea otters and birds (this cam is live 24 hours)

Moon Jelly Live Cam

Open Sea Live Cam with many open-sea animals

Penguin Live Cam

Sea Otter Live Cam

Shark Live Cam

Another aquarium cam, similar to the one above, is from Georgia Aquarium. At Georgia Aquarium, you may view beluga whales and piranhas, as well as other animals. Here are the cams available during daylight hours (EST):

Beluga Whale Live Cam

Jelly Live Cam

Ocean Sea Life (in an Aquarium) Live Cam

African Penguin Live Cam

Southern Sea Otter Live Cam

Underwater Puffin Live Cam

Gator Live Cam

California Sea Lion Live Cam (note: be sure to see the Monterey Bay sea lions in their natural habitat, linked above)

do you know of any other live animal cams?
