nothing to see today they must be out of the camera's range....

WOW....a wee while ago, Salome went around the corner from where the logs are to another area that I've never seen before.

She was sitting down on a rock and kept looking up at the camera that keep zooming in on her and following her around...Think someone was in the control room ????? She had a very suspicious look on her face and kept looking at the camera sideways:wah: She is Very, very cute:-4

wow Jock is huge! He's inside pacing!

must be getting ready for lunch!:yh_rotfl

Julie, do them take them in over your winter, or does it not get cold enough?

Oh, I got to see them today!

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Sun Oct 25, 2009 9:19 am

must be dinner time, the trainer is behind her door.:wah:

thanks again Oscar for posting this, its such an enjoyment to come here and watch them live and the funny things they do everyday.

One of the birds is inside waiting by the food door-ha, watch out Jock, someone is going to get your food first! :wah:

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 10:38 am

everyone is inside playing and getting ready for bed.

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Sat Oct 31, 2009 10:53 am

JOCK and his family will have a white Christmas snow on the ground on "Gorilla Island." JOCK needs to put his sweater on. :-6:-6

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 8:38 am

Oh, I got to watch them yesterday, I wonder what they think of the snow.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 9:55 am

Ahhh, poor Jock is waiting for food. I also wonder if they like the snow Chonsi....

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:29 am

It's funny......none of the gorillas with the exception of mother and the 2 kids seem to have an interaction with each other in this area of the web cam. I know they're social creatures and wonder if they socialize elsewhere

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 6:55 am

It's a typical day in Jock's house. Kidlets are upstairs gorilla'ing around and Jock is downstairs waiting for his tucker:wah::-4

Post by **spot** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 9:45 am

There was plenty of socializing when I visited yesterday afternoon but my goodness there was a chill breeze blowing. They were all indoors, the gorillas. One of the two adult females was doing what, had they been human, would have qualified as tidying up after the children. It was cold walking there, it was cold being there, the meerkats were huddled behind glass, the pygmy hippos were both staying underwater, even Felicity decided after an hour that she'd be happier back in a warm room with some bread and milk.

Oh, how I wish that I could take a walk over to the Bristol Zoo to see the animals Spot. You have to post some recent pictures of Felicity. She must be getting so big now.

I remember downloading information about the females and the babies either from the Bristol site or from google. I've misplace it and can't put my finger on it. Do you know of a site that shows pictures of the females and babies that gives information about each gorilla? If so, could you let me know? Thanks.

Post by **spot** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 10:14 am

Gorilla Island might be it. An update on the progress of the newest addition to the Zoo?s gorilla family has interesting background too.

I'll see whether Felicity's clean enough to be photographed over Christmas. She's going through a Stig Of The Dump phase.

Ahhhh, I'd love to see some pictures of her. She is a precious, wee girl.

Thanks for the sites. I'll look into them now.

I just love the gorillas now after being exposed to watching them on the Bristol Zoo webcam. I watched Jock and the kidlets all morning. I haven't been to the zoo in a long time. The closest ones to me are in Philly and the Bronx.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 11:21 am

Thank you Spot. "Gorilla Island" was the exact site I was looking for....don't know how I missed it.

The webcams have the "blue screen of death" this morning. How cold did it get there yesterday.?

Post by **spot** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 1:47 pm

Last night was more thaw than freeze, maybe the webcams got wet for the first time in a week.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Sun Dec 27, 2009 7:05 am

Why do those web cams have blue screen again

I want to see the gorillas:-1

What is the "blue screen of death?"

Blue Screen of Death Survival Guide: Every Error Explained | Maximum PC

"Picture this: Itâ€™s late at night, youâ€™re sitting at your computer playing a game or working on a project when, suddenly, Windows freezes completely. All your work is gone, and you find a blue screen full of gibberish staring back at you. Windows is dead, Jim, at least until you reboot it. You have no choice but to sigh loudly, shake your fist at Bill Gates and angrily push the reset button. Youâ€™ve just been visited by the ghost of windows crashed: the Blue Screen of Death.

Also known as the BSoD, the Blue Screen of Death appears when Windows crashes or locks up. Itâ€™s actually a Windows â€œstopâ€ screen, and is designed to do two things: tell you the reason for the error, and to calm your nerves, hence the use of the color blue (studies show it has a relaxing effect on people). Though Blue Screens are difficult to decipher, all the information you need to figure out what caused it is right there in front of you in blue and whiteâ€”and thatâ€™s where we come in. Weâ€™re going to show you how to dissect the blue screen error details, so you can fix the problem thatâ€™s causing them."

Why does it take so long for the zoo to fix their web cams

I finally have time off to watch the gorillas, and now there's blue screen.

I've sent 2 emails asking for them to fix their cams to no avail.

It's Sunday here, there won't be anyone around to fix it now, and being bank holiday tomorrow I'd not be surprised if IT staff are not around until Tuesday at the earliest.

Thanks Betty....I understand that, but it does seem to take a long time anyway for them to fix the cams when they need adjustments. They advertise that they have a tiger cam, and that cam hasn't worked at all, it seems.

I think Jazzy has a great idea. Maybe Spot can take a walk over to the zoo. I'm sure he can fix the cam himself

:D

I miss my gorilla watch:-1

I hope the year of the Gorilla isn't over and there will be no more webcam, Nah they can do that to us. :-1

I'm pretty sure the IT people will be back at work on Monday, I guess the zoo would have only run a 'skeleton' staff over the Christmas and New Year period.

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 9:00 am

I received a response to my email about the webcam issue. Betty is right won't be looked at till 1-4-2010 at the earliest everyone on Holiday..!!

[QUOTE]Dear Mardelle,

We appreciate your interest at Bristol Zoo, we are aware that there is a problem with our Gorilla webcams at the moment but unfortunately we cannot resolve the situation until after the 4th January 2010.

We apologise for the inconvenience

Kind Regards, Receptionist

The weather is appalling here in the UK Carla, I suspect the priorities are the welfare of the animals right now. It could be, that given the weather, the IT staff are unable to even get into work.

Good news the inside webcam is up YEAH..!!

Your right Betty I forget that everyones weather isn't like San Diego's. :-6

none of them are inside, they must be outside.

outside one does not work!:-5
