You can watch a pair of California condors, among the most endangered birds in the world, as they raise a new baby in view of a webcam set up by scientists at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park.

Sisquoc and Shatash take turns sitting in their nest incubating an egg! Because every California condor egg is so important, their real egg has been removed for now to an incubator under the close watch of the keepers, while the parents take care of a life-like artificial egg. During the last few days of incubation, the real, fertile egg will be returned, and the parents will begin raising the chick. That’s expected to happen in March!

To date, 171 condors have hatched at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park since the California Condor Recovery Program started in the 1980s. Sisquoc, born on March 30, 1983, was the program’s first hatchling. At that time, there were only 22 California condors left in the world. Today, there are about 400 : Watch a Baby Condor Hatch and Grow on Live Webcam

This north-facing webcam is perched on top of a bank building in downtown Barrow, Alaska, according to Alaska.edu. The webcam is located at 71° 17′ 33″ N, 156° 47′ 18″ W.

Apart from providing a visual impression of the sea-ice conditions off Barrow, these images establish a longer-term record of key dates in the seasonal evolution of the sea-ice cover, such as: onset of fall ice formation, formation of a stable ice cover, onset of spring melt, appearance of melt ponds, beginning of ice break-up in early summer, removal or advection of sea ice during the summer months: Usa Alaska Barrow Sea Ice and more webcams from Antarctica Webcam.

An adorable albino seal pup who was rejected by her family has found a home and her own webcam at a Russian dolphinarium.

The seal has since been adopted by the Akvatoria dolphinarium in Adler, Russia, where she has her own special, brightly colored enclosure with a pool. Her rescuers gave her the name Nafanya after a Soviet-era cartoon character with similarly colored fur.

Dolphinarium personnel also created a website for Nafanya, which features a webcam that documents her day-to-day activities as she swims and plays in her enclosure. After her monthlong quarantine is complete, Nafanya will be introduced to the other seals living in the dolphinarium.

You can watch Nafanya’s webcam here, but since it is on Moscow time, it is only available to view between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. EST.

For both ghost-spotters and Ghostbusters, this could be a dress rehearsal for the real thing. These are 7 live webcams set up in a 100+ year old Victorian house attempting to capture evidence of a haunting. All this while I thought you couldn’t capture a real ghost on film. Guess I was wrong as there are some exclamations in the comments as watchers report some ‘sightings’. Try to spot your own ghost, you will need oodles of patience as camera run 24 x 7 and 365 days a year: Old Victorian House Webcam

Miratech and its international partners have conducted the first international eye tracking study to measure how men and women look at the photo of a sexy young woman.

Conclusion: the men look at the woman’s chest and the women look at her ring. Miratech led a study involving men and women in equal proportions, for a total of 210 participants from 7 countries.

The testing was conducted individually. Each participant was simply asked to look at the photo of a young woman for 20 seconds, with no specific instructions. While they looked at the photo, their eye movements were measured using eye tracking technology.

Miratech then compiled and analyzed the results. The detailed results are available Here.

At last the ‘journey’ is at an end for the Mars500 crew of six, who complete their simulated mission to Mars on 4 November. Join us to watch the opening of the hatch and the egress of the crew, including the two ESA volunteers Romain Charles from France and Diego Urbina from Italy.

Streaming starts at 10:50 CET with hatch opening at 11.00 CET. Watch online : Mars500 hatch opening
