Bear Den Live Stream

Following up on our behavioral study of mother black bears in dens, we are now observing the behavior for the first time in history, a wild “Male Black Bear” we named “Spanky”. Spanky will be studied 24/7 in a cozy den site he found under a cabin porch in northern Minnesota. Spanky is 6 years old now, and part of the same bear clan that produced the mothers of our earlier study that is linked below. Most of what they revealed was all new to science.

This healthy male Black Bear has already revealed that he does far more than just sleep. A team of observers around the world is recording his behavior day and night. Don’t be surprised when you see Spanky grooming himself and finding him actively moving about his Hibernaculum or just yawning. This is all new observed behavior to scientists around the world, including Dr. Lynn Rogers, the pioneering Minnesota Black Bear biologist from the North American Bear Center in Ely MN. How will male bear hibernation be different than a female bear? The live audio provided will offer even more clues to his before hidden behavior.

A major purpose of broadcasting the den cams is to teach the public about the biology and behavior of these fascinating animals. The denning period is the least observed aspect of bear life. Behavior in Free-Living American Black Bear Dens: Website: Bearstudy.org

Deer Live Stream

Camera is located in south western Pennsylvania, USA. Our webcam is broadcast live 24/7 all year round. There is an automated feeder which is setup to feed 3 times a day, which we change during the seasons. The feeder puts out a small amount of cracked corn and sweet feed to attract an array of wildlife. The camera is located in a wooded area about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA on private property which is not open to hunting.

The main camera is a PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera in which we can remotely move the camera around and zoom in on different animals. In the evenings and weekends we will control the camera for viewers to get a closer look at the wildlife.

Elk Live Stream

Welcome to the Elk Country Visitor Center live streaming webcams located in north-central Pennsylvania - Cam 1. There are two HD pan-tilt-zoom cameras streaming the elk herd 24/7 at the Elk Country Visitor Center in Benezette, PA managed by the Keystone Elk Country Alliance. The elk were reintroduced to Pennsylvania starting in 1913 from western states in an ambitious effort by the PA Game Commission. The releases in north-central Pennsylvania were successful and the herd now numbers more than 1,000 elk.

Fun Elk Facts

Elk are much larger and heavier than white-tailed deer. A mature male elk, called a bull, stands 50 to 60 inches at the shoulder and weighs 600 to 1,000 pounds. Females, or cows, weigh 500 to 600 pounds.
Yearlings usually grow single spikes 10 to 24 inches in length, while older bulls may produce racks with main beams 4 to 5 feet in length and having five to nine tines to a side. An elk with a total of 12 antler points is called a ''royal" bull; one with 14 points is an "imperial."
