12 Best Live Animal Cams

CORGI CAM

If you missed the London Olympics opening ceremony, you might not know that Corgis are having a moment. From royal Corgis to Corgi memes, these dogs are climbing up the charts as one of the world's most popular pets. Thankfully for all of us, someone created a Corgi Cam. Take a break from the stresses of life and watch four puppies nibble and nuzzle one another for hours, even days if you want. It's too cute to pass up.

BROWN BEARS CATCH SALMON 

Nothing is more fascinating than watching an animal in its element. There is no better example of that than these brown bears trying to catch their dinner. Although there isn't much action happening, we still can't help but watch. Cheer on Brook Falls' most patient patrons and see whether they actually catch a salmon or not. When they do, you won't think all those hours of viewing will have been wasted.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPS

Do you like Golden Retriever puppies? Do you like good causes? If so, we've got something for you. Meet Holly’s Half Dozen, six Golden Retriever pups that were born on June 24. These little dogs weren't put on this planet just for oohs and awws; they've got an important task at paw. The puppies are going to be trained as therapy animals for recovering service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The litter will spend the next two years helping lift the spirits of wounded warriors by giving them a therapeutic and purposeful mission. 

PANDA CAM

Panda births are perhaps one of the top-10 breaking news stories people love. It's (almost) a fact. So when panda Bai Yun gave birth to her baby at the San Diego Zoo, zookeepers knew the world would want to watch. Panda lovers can now witness Bai Yun and her baby during their very important bonding period.

PENGUIN PARTY

Can't fall asleep? Don't worry. We've got the perfect insomniac activity for you. SeaWorld has a 24-hour live penguin cam. You can tune in at any hour of the day to check out what these penguins are up to. You might even catch one making a snow angel.

BELUGA WHALE CAM

Ever wonder what a beluga actually does under the deep blue sea? Now you can see for yourself, thanks to Vancouver Aquarium. Watch these adroable whales swim around their aquarium and marvel at ther absolute beauty.

PUFFIN WATCH

Ah, puffins. These fluffy friends of ours are so much more than just a delicious cereal. The winsome waddlers are actually quite fascinating. Take a look and see them loaf around on Seal Island. The best times to watch them are mornings and early afternoons. And even if they're not there, you can at least enjoy the beautiful setting and pretend like you're on the beach, too. See what they're doing right now.

KITTY CAM

If you're a cat person, then you must be wondering the same thing we are: Where are all the cat cams at? One has finally arrived, thanks to 2nd Chance Rescue. Watch a litter of newborn kittens roll around and get to know one another as their mother looks on. Clear out your schedule for the day. This is one fabulous, furry party you'll want to RSVP "yes" to.

SIKU THE POLAR BEAR

In 2011, Siku the polar bear arrived on the scene and immediately stole our hearts. The Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Denmark created a Siku cam so viewers would be able to see the little guy grow. When Siku is big enough, he will join the rest of the other bears, but for now, he remains in his own exhibit. See what he's up to.

SHARK WATCH

People can't get enough of Shark Week. To celebrate Shark Week's 25th Anniversary, Discovery is giving viewers a special shark experience with their Shark Cam 360. Shark fans can now peek inside the Ocean Voyager at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Ga. You can even change the view. Technology is awesome, guys, but not as awesome as Shark Week.
