[BAGGIO]

Thats good tv. Ive GOTTA upgrade to a premium membership.

[CoolaidWade]

Well, someone is zooming the camera around everywhere. Usually it's focused on the Ol' Watering Hole. I know because I have watched for an hour before waiting to see a giraffe or something. All I saw was a warthog.

[GregH]

Do you have to have an account to view all day? Anytime? That's awesome.

[GregH]

There is a big nosie from behind us.

[GregH]

I see something.

[GregH]

Where's my bow!!!! Opps a car.

[GregH]

Domestic cat tour.

[GregH]

I'm watching you Mr. Tour Guide!!

[CaliHornia]

Is this thing for real? It should have started turning to morning a long while back.

[GregH]

look at the time jabroni. just below the camera.

[BAGGIO]

there are dinosaurs on this dinosaur tour right?

[GregH]

Yes they are!!!

[CaliHornia]

D*mn, I've had that thing going forever and nothing has apparently gotten thirsty.

That lodge looks pretty sweet, btw.

[dre1222]

I saw something. It was small, couldn't tell what it was. Looked like the size of a dog.

[CaliHornia]

Pretty cool watching the sun come up. Surely that will make something thirsty.

[dre1222]

I just looked over and bam, it's daylight.

[dre1222]

Oooo, what are those animals

[KCAggie]

holy crap, animals are drinking

[KCAggie]

hopefully a lion will come and eat them

Nevermind, they mostly hunt at night

[Pumchavas28]

Are those wilderbeasts?

[dre1222]

I think the white and black ones are zebras.

[CaliHornia]

Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff out there now. Pretty cool.

[Pumchavas28]

Rise & shine....

[Pumchavas28]

It's funny... I wake up & gotta take a leak... they wake up & drink... huh.....

[Pumchavas28]

WTF are they looking at?

[Pumchavas28]

Is that bird on repeat?

[CaliHornia]

Man, some of those zebras look pretty well fed.

[CaliHornia]

I think they've put the microphone right next to the most annoying bird's nest in the world.

[BAGGIO]

I think i saw el chupacabra

[macduff93]

I think they've put the microphone right next to the most annoying bird's nest in the world.


It was the most annoying toads in the world that woke the birds.

My daughter thinks is way cooler than the bear and eagle cams.

[CaliHornia]

What are those two things in the water? I finally saw them move, so they're alive, but the camera is too unfocused.

[macduff93]

m r ducks ... I think

[KCAggie]

they are ducks i think

[CaliHornia]

They need to zoom in on the things on the left

[KCAggie]

woa, some kind of monkey, a baboon?

[KCAggie]

holy ****, they were doin it!!!!!!!

[CaliHornia]

Something is pissed.

[dre1222]

yeah, where'd the camera guy go?

[CaliHornia]

Man, look at them all!

[GregH]

They need to clean the screen. It's dirty as hell.

[CoolaidWade]

We got Animals!!!!! FReakign cool! :gig:

[The Massacre]

how many hours have you put into watching that hole, coolaid? :D

[CoolaidWade]

how many hours have you put into watching that hole, coolaid? :D

I'm at work. :cry: For 24 hours. I think they are Zebras.

[The Massacre]

oh ok. look like zebras to me too. :D

[CoolaidWade]

They are gone. 10 Zebras came from the trees to the right and drank for like 3 minutes and then disapeared as mysteriously as they arrived.

[The Massacre]

they probably have to drink fast and run, some smart lions are probably just chillin' by there waiting to get some easy striped food.

[Dustin00whoop]

damnit...I missed 'em. That sucks! :(

[dre1222]

There will be more before long. Warthogs, antelope and those cow looking things. I'm just wanting for the lion to come in and make a kill.

[CoolaidWade]

Something coming in top left...... Hang on everyone.

[whitelightnin_23]

gazelle? what are those?

[macduff93]

gazelles or antelope?

[Dustin00whoop]

sweet...I'm just saw them leaving...are you sure they weren't impallas?

[CoolaidWade]

I don't know.. but there is a lot of action at the water hole this morning.

[Dustin00whoop]

Whats the coolest thing you've seen so far, Wade?

[macduff93]

Look out! It's the infamous Kamikaze bird!!

[CoolaidWade]

Lots of Zebras. Some Giraffes and Elephants sometimes.

Guys driving a jeep down that road.

[Dustin00whoop]

Guys driving a jeep down that road.

Elephants? Really? Thats cool! And poachers! awesome! Is there a reward if you turn in poachers off of the ol' watering hole cam?

[dre1222]

When I googled impalas, antelope, and gazelles, they look more like impalas. They were showing close ups yesterday. I guess the guys aren't awake yet. When did you see the giraffes and elephants? More stuff coming.

[Dustin00whoop]

More action from the top...sweet!

[whitelightnin_23]

here comes a ton of zebras!

[whitelightnin_23]

they're going to have a football game, like the commercial

[hmiles619]

Zebras

[dre1222]

The impala is an african antelope.

[Dustin00whoop]

who is controlling the camera?

[macduff93]

Cool! They're zooming in on the Zebras.

[whitelightnin_23]

who is controlling the camera?
wade?

[hmiles619]

and a giraffe

[whitelightnin_23]

A Giraffeeeee!

[CoolaidWade]

I think the guys in the jeep were actually tour guides. It's a high dollar resort.

Giraffes!

[Dustin00whoop]

dude, the watering hole is kicking...freaking giraffes too.

[CoolaidWade]

Girraffes, YAY! I LOVE Giraffes!!!!

[dre1222]

Giraffes!!!!

[hmiles619]

wildabeast

[Dustin00whoop]

hyenas?

[Dustin00whoop]

nope, whites right. wildebeast

[whitelightnin_23]

no water buffalos like on the flintstones.

[macduff93]

Do the sounds drive anyone else's dog crazy?

[dre1222]

Those are some thirsty zebras. I want to see an elephant.

[The Massacre]

who moves the camera around?

[dre1222]

If you notice when the camera moves to the left, there is a lodge. The water hole is on a game reserve, so it is probably people who work there.

[whitelightnin_23]

gazelle, or antellope right now

[CoolaidWade]

Well thats it for me. But hope you guys like the Ol' Watering Hole. I felt like you all needed more nature in your life.

[GregH]

The HOLE is cool!

[Dustin00whoop]

Big ol' WartHog off in there right now.

[Pflugerville Ag]

The zebras are thirsty.

[dre1222]

There's a baboon!!

[Dustin00whoop]

There's a baboon!!

Damnit....was attempting to record the podcast & I missed it. :(

[whitelightnin_23]

don't worry...I checked right after her post & didn't see anything. Hasn't been anything since either... :(

[dre1222]

i am on on aggiefans.net so all the icons show up as red x's. There was only 1 baboon. He didn't have any friends. I felt sorry for him. It's a slow day at the watering hole. I also took a long time to post that I saw him. He was walking away as I said it. I have failed you.

[Dustin00whoop]

Is that monkey holding a big ol' bud?

[whitelightnin_23]

great observation :rep:...I don't know, but it sure looks like it!
don't do drugs kids!

[CoolaidWade]

Slow the last hour. Could have used a Zebra or something. :(

[phatbc]

theres some zebras right now, pretty sweet

[dre1222]

baboons!! now!!

[GregH]

There were zebras, monkey's, and warthogs this morning.

[macduff93]

A baboon family!

[Pflugerville Ag]

Looks like they could use a little rain at the ol' watering hole. It might just be the ol' hole in the ground in a few weeks at the rate that its drying up.

[macduff93]

Y'all are missing baby baboons and the camera guy is zooming on them, too. Ahhhh.

[Pflugerville Ag]

This a perfect time for us to see a lion get him a baby baboon for dinner.

[macduff93]

Is that a wildebeest? Coool!

[Kyle98]

How did I ever miss this!?!?! Perfect time waster, and its not even blocked at work. I swear I just saw a cat-like animal stalking through the trees!

[Kyle98]

Is that a wildebeest? Coool!

Now we got a closeup of a baboon picking its ass. Nice

[phatbc]

now baboon is sleeping. what a crazy guy

[Kyle98]

now baboon is sleeping. what a crazy guy

Don't you normally sleep after picking your ass? I know I do.

Are those baboons making out?

[macduff93]

You should have seen what the little male was doing with the mud earlier. I was Offended! :p

The sounds are kind of relaxing at this time of day, too. I like having it on when I'm working...until the blasted phone rings.

[phatbc]

oooh. he just backed down from a couple wildebeasts.

[Kyle98]

This is the coolest website ever!

[Pflugerville Ag]

The sounds are definitely relaxing. I keep the site minimized and realized how much I liked having the sounds playing quietly while I was working.

[whitelightnin_23]

blocked at work...I want my baboons!

[Pflugerville Ag]

Holy crap that is alot of water buffalo.

[macduff93]

It's raining and there's lots of thunder boomers. Very tranquil. I wonder where all the critters go when it rains?

[Kyle98]

blocked at work...I want my baboons!

I'm amazed it isn't blocked here. Usually anything streaming is. I can't listen to the Ticket webcast for that reason.

I think I just saw either a meteor or a firefly!! :)

[CoolaidWade]

Good! Our water hole needs some rain! Getting a little dry out there.

[zrf2002]

Holy crap that is alot of water buffalo.


actually they were cape buffalo, not water buffalo. trust me i know, i have one hanging on my wall to prove it.;)

[SHAG69]

Who are you DAkTARI?:)

[zrf2002]

there is some night action at the watering hole. looks to be a couple female diekars or some other small species of antelope.

[whitelightnin_23]

nnnntsss nnnntsss nnnntssss (cheezy 70s music)...
Now here comes the hyena w/ the bushy mustache...
What the hell is that baboon doing?

[Dustin00whoop]

Damnit...I always miss all the cool stuff.

[Dustin00whoop]

Somebody go Tarzan on this biatch & tell the jungle its time to wake up.

[macduff93]

Somebody go Tarzan on this biatch & tell the jungle its time to wake up.


Ah, that is not the path to being one with nature, Grasshopper.

[Dustin00whoop]

Rain at the hole....filling 'er up!

[Dustin00whoop]

Lion!!!!

[The Massacre]

that is pretty cool.

i'm pretty sure i wouldn't want to live somewhere that has freakin' lions running around wild.

[whitelightnin_23]

all the cool stuff comes out when I'm @ work. Baboons, lions...if you see an elephant on there, I'm just going home.

[Elk10]

Here kitty, kitty.

[Dustin00whoop]

2 of 'em....both males. That was awesome!!!

I just had it running, minimized. Then I heard this baboon going freaking nuts. I pulled it up & he was standing in a tree just jumping up & down like a mad monkey. Then the lion was there. It was just like Ghost in the Darkness!

[Kyle98]

I miss the watering hole.....damn, lots of birds out today!

[Dustin00whoop]

I haven't seen much action there lately. Keep us informed if something comes through.

[Kyle98]

Just a bunch of annoying ass birds so far. 5:00 am over there now.

[CoolaidWade]

Still a little early. in about 30 mins to an hour from now it's out of control.

I love the bird and cricket sounds. I like to play it real loud at work during he afternoon when people are taking naps. They are so lazy that they just roll over and put a pillow over thier head and try to live with it instead of getting up to make me turn it or down. Or they just yell and threaten me. But the Ol' African Watering Hole Pzowns all.

[Dustin00whoop]

Easy question, but i'm in a giving mood. :rep: to the first person who can tell us which side of the watering hole the camera is on (North, south, east or west.)

[macduff93]

east, perhaps?

[Dustin00whoop]

That is correct....but why did you say that?

[macduff93]

uhm...earlier the tree was casting a pretty strong shadow directly onto the water

[Dustin00whoop]

Nice....that is exactly what I noticed. I knew it was easy. :rep: to you, Macduff.

[macduff93]

Thanks! Good question.

I normally watch it in the morning. The sounds are pretty relaxing while I work. I guess these obnoxious birds are morning only visitors. Some of them are awful. I doubt the lodgers sleep very late!

[GregH]

Ah, the warthogs are looking mighty pissed today!

[macduff93]

Holy Moly! Did anyone else see what that one wildebeest was doing rubbing its head on the others rump? What the heck was that? :wow:

[SHAG69]

did someone say rump rubbing?

[macduff93]

How appropriate that you would catch that.
It looked more intimate than that, but I've not had enough coffee to handle it. :p

[whitelightnin_23]

there's grass there now!

[dre1222]

ELEPHANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i FINALLY GET TO SEE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zrf2002]

check the watering hole! you can now view different animals, not just the watering hole, pretty cool.

[blackgloves]

Im waiting for someone wearing maroon and white to walk by, look at the camera and start jumping up and down waving their arms :cool:
