The world can be a difficult place, and we all need a bit of a break from time to time, but sometimes even the most adorable cat memes are not enough. Luckily, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary’s live cam can be your break-in-case-of-emergency corner of the internet.
Hosted by Zoo Life, which describes itself as the world’s first online zoo, the website provides 24/7 access to adorable animals all over the world! All you have to do is sign up, and you’ll be able to watch fuzzy koalas chill on their trees, playful dingoes, and fascinating platypus from different angles at any hour of the day — although, of course, there’s bound to be more action during the day — for free!
But that’s not all! You can learn more about the animals in the Animal Insights section of the website, and even read about the specific critters you’re watching, whether that’s dingoes Jindy and Stirling, Barak — the oldest male platypus in human care — or one of the Sanctuary’s many koalas, you can watch highlights for each of them and find out all about their personalities, so you’ll be ready to make friends when you get to meet them in person.
Zoo Life and Lone Pine also offer the chance to witness special events like birthday feedings and even talks with zookeepers and experts, who can shed light on their eating and sleeping habits, the latest research on each species, and much more.
