Pete's Pond

One of my favorite Internet Time Wasters/Educational Experiences is back up and running!  For the past three years, National Geographic has operated a "wildcam" at Pete's Pond in Botswana.  The presence of this man-made lake helped revitalize the wild animal population there which had been threatened by poachers who waited at the Limpopo River.  Now the area has become a wildlife preserve filled with birds, impala, wildebeests, zebras and more.  Just this morning, the kids and I saw an elephant and a cheetah.  Have fun!
