When was the last time you visited the zoo on your own accord? Without being dragged by your parents in a bid to bond, by an educational authority or by a date who has watched 500 Days of Summer too many times? Well, if you’ve been hankering to go out one in a time of government mandated quarantine, here are ten zoo live cams for you to while time away.
Play it as background fodder, try to spot 340 different birds with your friends over zoom (drinking game optional) or stay up till three a.m .to spot penguins swimming. What else are you going to be doing… besides watching these live zoo cams, right?

The African Tembe Elephant Park
Along with spotting the occasional elephants, you can also sport their supporting cast — lions, leopards, black and white rhinos and buffalos. Or you can squint real hard to catch all 340 bird species that occasionally fly past.

How do you differentiate tiger sisters Amba and Amura? Amura has no stripes on her front legs and she’s the laid back sibling. Amura apparently loves to shout while chasing keeper vehicles.

A remote area next to the Tayna Nature Reserve in East Africa, tune in to see what Isangi, Itebero, Lulingu and friends are getting up to. They’re oddly very aware about the camera filming them.

The Werribee Open Range Zoo
Being the king of the jungle is tough which is why the lions at this zoo seem to be sleep so much when they’re not play-fighting with each other. Still cute though.
