Relax with the animals in the zoo

Thanks to the National Geographic's excellent service you can catch up with the wildlife under intimate watch by the webcams at Australia's Wild National Park, the Belize Barrier Reef and Mashatu Game Reserve. It's all pretty slow paced and not very interactive but it's excellent background material, guaranteed to help you relax.
