Whether you're into cute furry mammals, hairless rodents or menacing reptiles, live webcams are the ultimate way to get your fix from the comfort of your desk.
Last week, the the Smithsonian National Zoo launched a new webcam featuring four brand new lion cubs. This inspired us to promptly waste countless hours hunting down more animal cams and ogling various adorable and strange animals.
Here we've put together our favorite live animal feeds that we came across. If you've got a favorite that isn't in this gallery, let us know.
WARNING: You may not be able to stop watching.
Baby Barn Owls
Ashley and Carrie were born Aug. 7 and 8 to Molly and McGee in San Marcos, California. While these owlets are wobbly, cute and seemingly fragile, they are also predators. The Owl Box cam carries this disclaimer: "This is a live feed of a Wild Barn Owl and family. Owls are carnivores. They hunt, kill and consume small rodents and other small animals. This is nature and contains scenes of the cycle of life which may occur at any time without warning. We do not control the weather or what happens in this owl box. It is nature and our policy is to let nature take its course." For more info, visit Molly's Facebook fan page or The Owl Box livestream page. You can also follow Molly on Twitter.
