San Diego Zoo Live Cameras

The San Diego Zoo is one of the most famous zoos in the world, home to over 12,000 animals across 650 species. Their live camera program lets you watch animals in real time from anywhere — polar bears swimming, pandas munching bamboo, and penguins waddling around their habitat.

The cameras stream throughout the day (Pacific Time) and are completely free. Some cams are available 24/7 with night-vision capabilities.
