Virtual Addiction

The kids and I have a new addiction - My friend Hallie sent me an email a while back about "virtual zoos" with a link to 4 or 5 zoos with animal cams. I finally got a chance to really check them out with the kids yesterday and within 24 hours we have gone back to the computer countless times to check on the animals. We are particularly fond of the baby panda at http://www.sandiegozoo.org/videos/index.html
and the naked mole rat at http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/WebCams/
and the shark cam at http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/cam_menu.asp
We are so dorky; all three of us were cracking up before we left for the bus this morning cuz we saw the naked mole rat make a poo and then just now Ella and I were squealing like girls at a Beatles concert watching the momma panda give her baby girl a 'bath'. You can also watch pre-recorded video of all the baby panda's vet checkups - I don't care what kind of mood you are in - you can't help but smile.
