Last year when I was researching some fun things to do with my kiddos with the Zoo I ran across these awesome zoos who have web cams so that you can observe their animals:
San Diego Zoo
So this zoo has the following web cams (click on the link to take you to the cam):
Panda Web Cam (their baby cub was born July 2012--so it's been so much fun watching the videos and seeing him grow!)
Polar Web Cam (polar bears!!)
Ape Cam
Condor Cam
And their new cam---the Koala Cam!!!! We ran across this on Friday when checking out the Apes.....this is San Diego's new exhibit opening at the end of the month.
Houston Zoo
This zoo has Giraffe cams and Rhino Cams!! They also have an elephant cam and chimp cam.
They offer two different views from their cameras!
This are the two main zoos that we watch. We also observe the Monterey Bay Aquarium and they have web cams as well. We watch their penguins and check out their live ocean cam!
If you have a Mimio in your classroom....I have posted up a Mimio activity called Who's At The Zoo?
An example of one of the pages!

It's free and has tons of info.
I think you may could pull it up on the Smartboard???? But I have no idea!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and TN is having a HUGE sale!! I am participating as well and everything in my store is 50% starting today!! Plus TN is offering up another 10% off at your checkout!!
Make sure you hop over and stock up on lots of goodies because many sellers are offering up their items!!
Great point about web cams! My kids love them! There is a group I taught one year, we watched an owl named Molly hatch her babies and they still talk about her-they are in 4th Grade now! :) Definitely a great resource.
