Technically, I didn't go to Africa. But, there's a site where you can watch webcams set up at African game reserves. So, I've grabbed some pictures. All though I got these from screen captures from the Africam.com page, I grabbed them. I sat for hours in front of the computer, flipping between the different cameras they have set up, hoping for a glimpse of animals. Think of it as going on a safari without taking the trip. So, please, respect the time I put into this and don't grab the pictures for your page.

If you want to check out the webcams for yourself, you can see them here: Africam.com.

a black-backed jackal I'm very happy with this picture, as the Africam site lists this animal as uncommon.	I grabbed this one because I like the way the sun reflected in the water...
