I am proud to announce the most exciting live animal cam to show up on this blog since its creation many months ago. And that is the live mussel cam in Canada! The mussel cam is from Flex Mussels in Prince Edward Island. Watch a mussel grow live on this streaming web cam. Mussels can take a long time to grow, so check back often.

This animal web cam comes to you live from San Francisco’s famous Pier 39. These sea lions started taking over the docks in January 1990 shortly after the 1989 earthquake. At first there were about 10 to 50 of them, but due to the abundent supply of fish and available dock space, the population grew to 300 in a few months.
In the winter, the population grows to around 900, most of which are male.

Manatees… Sea Cows… whatever you want to call these beloved creatures, we have an animal web cam for you to watch them live from the Dallas World Aquarium.
This is a moving image stream camera, so it isn’t as exciting as the other cameras…but beggars can’t be choosers! I have yet to find a streaming Manatee cam. Hopefully that will change soon. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.
