Quick! Lion in real time! If you're quick, you'll see a lion and some hyenas live in the early African morning!
The white blob on the right is a lion.
Holy shit, what's that thing they killed?

Pfft, windows media -- painful to get working on a nonwindows machine. But hey look, VLC will play the stream, once I found the URL in the page source. The lions are still there, just taking it easy. The thing is, I hear human voices, which indicates to me that this isn't an especially wild place -- the page says it's a game reserve. A step up from a zoo, I suppose. Except they don't shoot animals at zoos much. Now someone's moving the camera around.

I'm really wondering how "real time" this is, because every time I've checked it, the lions are always in frame and in focus, and the birds are a twittering mightily, and it all looks pretty "produced" to this old TV engineer. It's not like the lions are holding up today's newspaper, is it?

Cool. Now there are some oryxes or gazelles or something (don't really know my african herbivores) walking around (with birds on them) and the lions are watching them intently from the shade. The lions aren't hungry, though, so they presumably won't do anything.

paulsc, someone's operating the camera remotely.
