You guys…I recently discovered an incredible new way of watching wildlife LIVE from Africa and I can hardly stay away from this website.  It is called WILDEARTH.TV

I recorded a few minutes of live streaming video from last night’s game drive (BELOW) and a bit from this morning (ABOVE) to give you the general idea of how personalized this cutting-edge game drive concept is!!

The audio last night was having problems but usually is very easy to understand

The website even has a 24-hour cam aimed at a watering hole so when everyone in Africa is sleeping and the night creatures are out…you can see them LIVE!! Yesterday I got to watch 3 hyenas bathing in the watering hole. LIVE!!!

To top it off, every member of this FREE service gets a personal webpage and there is live chat open during the game drives with the viewers as well as immediate interaction with the driver, tracker, and camera operator on the vehicle.  It’s very hard to describe.  You just need to drop in and visit for yourself.

Below is from the WildEarth website to help fill you in on what it’s all about.

FROM WILDEARTH BLOG:

Welcome to our world. WildEarth (WE) is a LIVE wildlife broadcaster. We broadcast from Djuma Game Reserve, which is a Big 5 reserve next door to the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Every morning (06h00 CAT (Central African Time)) and again at 16h30, WE go out on a LIVE presenter lead safari. At 09h00 every weekday WE do a LIVE bush walk and on Sunday nights at 19h30 WE site around the fire and discuss the week’s events.
We are on a mission to show the world what the wildlife of Africa is really like. To show our friends (that’s why WE are WE) what the reality of Karula the leopardess’s day is, to introduce Wonky the elephant to the world, to explore Mojo the white-tailed mongoose’s territory with him. You see wildlife on the African plain is not about lions killing and elephants charging (although that happens) it’s about the gentle rhythm of connected life, including us.
Please take a look at our website; www.wildearth.tv explore our Facebook page, subscribe to our Blog at https://wildearth.tv/blog/ become one of our friends.
Then when you are ready to become a member of our cause here, maybe help promote us, maybe help get us some PR, maybe donate some money so that WE can buy Google ads and build a groundswell of understanding … it’s in your nature.

Good morning Pandarazzi friends
I received this note from Animals Asia this morning and felt it was a great announcement to put here as well. I am a Teddybear collector from WAY back and there are some PRIMO artisan and collector bears on this list to bid on for yourself or give as a gift. Thanks for taking a peek at the Abracadabra Teddies website!!

BELOW ARE A SMALL SAMPLE OF THE TEDDIES AND OTHER ANIMALS AVAILABLE AT AUCTION

Dear Sandra,

Our wonderful friends at Abracadabra Teddy Bears in Saffron Waldon, Essex are once again running a BIG END OF YEAR ONLINE TEDDY BEAR AUCTION to help raise further funds for our rescued bears in China and Vietnam.

Abracadabra Teddy Bears has already raised a phenomenal £29,722 for the bears via auctions over the past five years and this end-of-year auction is one of the biggest yet with over 70 bears and teddies on offer. There really is something for everybody.

All of the bears have been kindly donated by collectors and artists wanting to make a difference in the lives of the moon bears incarcerated in cages across China and Vietnam.

The online auction will ran from 9 pm on Sunday 11 January (UK time).

Please bid generously and remember that every donation, no matter how big or small, will help to end the barbaric practice of bear farming.
With warmest wishes and sincerest thanks for your support,
Dave

Are you guys ready for this!!! Our bestest friends on the planet…Carrie Phillips  (adoption coordinator) and Suzanne Braden, founder of Pandas International went truly out of their way to fill my request for photos of our 4 adoption tribe cubbies.  Thank you ladies and the staff in China so much for helping give this ole girl a good long cry and giggling fits as I’m sure wil happen to the rest of the Pandarazzi readers

CARRIE WRITES TO ME TODAY:
Hi Sandra,

Well, get ready to smile and laugh! Here are pictures of your beautiful girl Jing Shui. I know the English part of her name is Peaceful Water but she doesn’t look very peaceful to me…she looks very full of energy Plus, she looks like a little escape artist! Adorable! Seeing the panda pictures is one of the best parts of my work day and always makes me smile.

NEWS FLASH…added 1/2 hour later!!

Hi Sandra,

Here is an update on Jing Shui. I didn’t correct the English on this update and you can see that the word “it” is used rather than the word “she”. I’m told the Chinese language does not make the same gender distinction that we do. This is always a challenge when trying to figure out whether a panda is a male or female! Of course, we know that Ying Ying’s cub is a female.

You can send the update to your adopters as it is or correct it as you like.

Ying Ying’s baby can walk and play independently, especially like climbing the fence.  it is always trying to climb high and often slide down the fence. however, it never feels the pain, only running to its mother to look for affection, which makes it very happy.

CAN YOU STAND IT!!!!!  A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO PANDAS INTERNATIONAL

More photos are on the way of the other cubbies as I receive them!!!!!  One per post!.
