What do you think it would take to get up close to some of the most Brilliant Creatures from around the world? Expensive airline tickets?
In fact, you could be there in seconds, without moving from the seat you're in right now!

All around the world there are webcams pointing at some of the world's most Brilliant Creatures giving you an as-it-happens look at their world.
They're really easy to use!

On the programme we demonstrated Africam, which shows you archived and live pictures of all sorts of creatures - direct from Africa.

We also showed you LiveWave. On this site you control the angle camera yourself! We looked at some penguins in a New England aquarium in America.
Click here to visit them (click on "Showcase" then "Penguins", for example).

You'll find some more sites which include animal webcams on our links page.
You might also want to search on engines like Google or Altavista, for webcams featuring the animal of your choice.
Just type in the name of the creature you're looking for in the box, and then type "+webcam" next to it (no space!) then press the button to perform the search. This will link results featuring the animal of your choice, with the word "webcam" meaning you'll get more accurate possibilities, eg
lion+webcam
Remember to let us know by e-mail if you find a good webcam site that you think we should add to this page. If we do, we'll make sure you get a mention.
Finally, if you've got a webcam of your own (lots of computers come with them now) why not ask an adult to help you try setting up your own pet webcam? It can be quite complicated but if there's someone with a bit of computer knowhow in your family, you could soon have your pet on view for the world to see. (Bear in mind that it might be difficult to keep him or her on camera, and remember the 'phone bill too!)
