There’s no getting around it: things are a little stressful right now. We know that time spent connecting with nature is a powerful stress-reduction tool, but did you know that even looking at pictures or listening to sounds of nature can have an impact on your stress levels? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give you a virtual “change of scenery” and a healthy dose of nature and wildlife, we’ve compiled a list of the amazing live animal webcams and digital wildlife experiences from all around the state, the country, and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Bird-Lovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get an inside look at the fastest animals on Earth\u2014right in our own “backyard” (so to speak)! There are nearly half a dozen live webcams<\/a> at locations across Massachusetts focused on nesting Peregrine Falcons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Massachusetts, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/a> has live streams of a hummingbird feeder in West Texas, a fruit feeder in Panama, and a seed and suet feeder at Cornell itself, along with a half dozen other nest cams from around the world, in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Aquariums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a truly sublime “Moment of Zen”, check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium Live Animal Cams<\/a>. In particular, the Jelly Cams offers a gentle, soothing visual experience paired with calming background music, but the boundless joy of sea otters frolicking and playing can’t be beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ocean Networks Canada<\/a> maintains several live webcams from 75 feet below the sea at the Folger Pinnacle Reef off Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The cameras only operate for five minutes every hour, but you never know what you’re going to see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoo-Tube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The San Diego Zoo’s Live Animal Cams<\/a> include everything from penguins and polar bears to elephants and tigers. Check out the giraffe cam for a look at the African Plains habitat, which also includes rhinos and other wildlife from their Safari Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo<\/a> hosts a few live animal webcasts on its website, including a Lion Cam, Elephant Cam, Giant Panda cam, and even one for Naked Mole Rats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the World in 80 Seconds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of the globe, you can visit a watering hole<\/a> at the Djuma Game Reserve in South Africa, where impalas, elephants, hippos, and all manner of birds come to drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if none of the above are quite what you’re looking for, Earth Cam<\/a> and Explore.org<\/a> have an incredible array of live animal cams from around the world\u2014although not technically “wildlife,” the Puppy Playroom<\/a> cam at the Warrior Canine Connection, an organization that trains veterans to train service dogs for fellow veterans, is the “cuteness overload” we all need right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
