I only discovered the Namib about two weeks ago. Absolutely amazing live footage. I visit about three times every day and I just keep coming back. Oh, and I loved these warty-hoggins😁😂😁!!
Yeah, I was going to mention that . Obviously germs/worms aren't a factor, but just having the water muddied you would think, would be something they would try to avoid.
Thank you, Namibia Nature & Parks, for this camera and glimpse into the amazing, ancient and great Namib Desert, and the Animal-Kin inhabitants there. As well, thank you for also having audio with this camera! Together, video and audio, brings the virtual experience to as best as it can be without actually being there. And I have long wanted to "visit" the great Namib. With your camera, such a visit is finally possible. Thank you and wishing you and all yours well! Bless. "Cap'n" Toni .... Pennsylvania, USA....
You couldn't have a greater contrast between the stately and stunning oryx and the warthog who looks like it has been beaten with an ugly stick. They even stand (and do other things!) in their own drinking water.
How wonderful, fantastic, congratulations .. more than 40 years ago, as a child I saw a movie about the Namib, produced by the BBC ... always in my memory ......saludos desde Chile
Yes that is what I thought. The size and shape of the head and the mane. I have two horses and they share grazing with 6 more horses and have become a herd. They will squabble like this seemingly meaninglessly but it is very much a constant assessment and re-assessment of the role each individual has in the herd and the friendships and bonds they have as a herd. Acting as one unit is essential for them too. Nothing is done alone.
With scarcity and how tough life is out there, im surprised many of these creatures waste so much energy by darting away and darting toward other creatures for reason that dont even benefit them, and for constantly interrupting each other while trying to drink. Makes no sense.
It's impressive how they behave like humans. They really act like the inhabitants of my suburb in France who fight often to rule their blocks against other peoples.
Maintained artificial water hole with a well, pump, and float to always keep the water level at the same height throughout the year. The center raised area is probably where the float sits, but it also helps birds to drink.
In response to reduced availability of natural water sources for wildlife, this artificial waterhole was build in 2006 after the farm was converted by Gondwana Collection Namibia into a nature reserve and game species which had once been indigenous to the area was reintroduced . The waterhole was reconstructed in June 2021 with the round "rock" in the middle to reduce evaporation and provide birds a perch. A solar-powered pump on a 100m (300ft) deep borehole draws water from the aquifer (groundwater) into a reservoir 150m to the north-east behind the camera. A pipe feeds the waterhole from the reservoir and the flow is regulated via a float valve and water refills automatically.
Could somebody please explain how exactly the war we is supplied to the watering hole please? I’ve been wondering and can’t see anything on the website. Thank you 😊
There is a submerged pump down in a bore hole that starts up when the water level sinks below a certain point. This is activated by a float switch, probably under the central dome. The whole thing is powered by a solar panel which is mounted on the same structure as the cam. There is evidently a buried power line between the panel and the pump down in the borehole. During part of the day you can see the shadow of the solar panel on the ground in front of the camera.
There's probably a battery involved as well. It's doubtful that the solar panel has the power to run the pump directly-- certainly not at night. But it charges the battery continuously during the day while the pump is off and builds up power in the battery to supply the needed torque.
I heard they cannot show the location of endangered species because of poachers. So I guess they will not be able the hide the animals from a 360 view camera

Not exactly a fight . I think a reflex behaviour is triggered but only partially triggered , not a full blown triggering of fighting . Probably some sort of Dominance reinforcement . They likely can't help themselves from doing this but they can control it enough if the situation doesn't call for it . In a real situation I'm sure all hell breaks loose and lots of injuries all round .

Pumba's family is cute.
I only discovered the Namib about two weeks ago. Absolutely amazing live footage. I visit about three times every day and I just keep coming back. Oh, and I loved these warty-hoggins😁😂😁!!
I notice the warthogs have no problem walking right through their drinking water, but all the other animals stay out of it at the edge.
They are pigs after all.
Yeah, I was going to mention that . Obviously germs/worms aren't a factor, but just having the water muddied you would think, would be something they would try to avoid.
How very piggy of them. 🤣
They could not be any cuter or more precious. I think in this case they were all oink and no bite... thanks for sharing this!
Gemsbok are thinking, "Ah jeez, there goes the neighborhood."
Your uplink is great NamibiaCam - Thank you!
their little trots crack me up, even when they are trying to be intimidating
I was just thinking the same thing!
The don't crack Leopards up, they run. But, you're right, they are sort of slap stick.
They run sideways

I’m glad each animal got to drink some water even though they kept trying to run each other off😍
That hog is a hog with the water!
The oryx in the beginning was a menace, lunging at the warthog just to make him flinch lol
I saw that too! come at me bro! Lol!
Oryxs are so majestic 😍
Amazing footage, I have never seen anything like this with Warthogs before. The little ones are really feisty too.
In another video, the littlest one chased the oryxs away and stayed behind in the water hole while the larger two moved away.
Sou apaixonada por Namíbia cam. Tantos animais incríveis! Assisto o canal todos os dias! Amo! ❤
I love these little guys..From the comfort of my home! 😀
Absolutely amazing!! I just wish they had team jerseys on so we'd know who's who in the zoo!! Could watch this all day.
Two different Families ? Interesting to watch :)
Must be the in-laws :)
Amazing, have never seen this interaction before! Well done! 👏
Me neither
@@NamibiaCam i can please be moderator
Warthogs are very domineering and combative, but they are very afraid of Oryx. 👍beautiful Video
Must be the heat & that time of the year when everyone is on edge! I loved how the Gemsbok decided to take a back seat! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let the nonsense clear out lol
It wasn’t hot - just a pleasant 21.5 degrees.
Pumbaa be nice. Sharing is caring.
Warthogs are funny little things. Terrible though that the drought leaves any animal fighting for a drink.
thank for this camera is beautiful
Glad you like it!
this cam is wonderful these warties always causing mischief and having litttle fits i think im going to have a discussion with them behave now
The crips and bloods fighting over the water hole lol
Com'on, sharing is caring!!! hahahahahahahahaha
Hehe, the elders don't always want to share with the teenagers!!!!!!!

Both the Oryx and the Warthogs stand in the drinking water.
Warthogs trot like a horse when they run.
they are behaving like some of our human beings ..hahhaha who lack the ability to collaborate and enjoy the resources together
How wonderful, fantastic, congratulations

I love it when they try their best to look bigger, with their manes erected. Soooo sweet. They somehow remind me of Jack Russels.
Man, you can’t take warthogs any where. 😏
Bonjour de paris france salutations les amis
Interesting the shifting around. The warthogs look and behave more like horses than pigs despite the similarities to pigs.
Yes that is what I thought. The size and shape of the head and the mane. I have two horses and they share grazing with 6 more horses and have become a herd. They will squabble like this seemingly meaninglessly but it is very much a constant assessment and re-assessment of the role each individual has in the herd and the friendships and bonds they have as a herd.

@@trueslimness interesting to read that and nice imagery.
Aww look how cute they are playing with there friends:)
Incredible! Thank you!
Hello, splendide magnifique Afrique respect a la faunes, source de vie. 😀
nicest animal fight i ever seen lol
I wish my mohawk would stand up like that.
It's all fun and games until the Lion Family wants to join the party.
There are no lions in this area.
They are soooo cute!
É muito bom acompanhar os grupos de animais que vão beber água, essa câmera é genial.
Thinks he’s god’s gift to warthogs.
fountain of everybody here; use it in everybody peacefully
Fascinating tension.
gee! stop *hogging* the water
🥁🐍
I didn't know there were warthogs in this part of Africa.
With scarcity and how tough life is out there, im surprised many of these creatures waste so much energy by darting away and darting toward other creatures for reason that dont even benefit them, and for constantly interrupting each other while trying to drink. Makes no sense.
Such a cool stream! They other night I saw Timon and Pumbaa!
I think one group is simply saying don’t put your feet in the water and muddy it up
Lol, it's cooler in the Namib desert than in Western Australia 🤣🤣
1:44 This section we can describe it as being an intimidating charge in bluff with the responder standing their ground to call it!
When their mane are up, they really look like Pumba.
So many Pumba's :)
That oryx is such a troll
This is cool to watch 👍
He found his aroma like the certain of peel he could clear the savanna after every meal
Awe 🤩🤩🤩
Good night from brasil
Tea in the desert...refreshing
It's impressive how they behave like humans.
They really act like the inhabitants of my suburb in France who fight often to rule their blocks against other peoples.
Warthog movements are so fast, compared to the large animals.
its the same between an elephant and a mouse...... common
2001: A Space Odyssey vibes are happening here
Are there salt / vitamin licks for them?
Жадный бородавочник, воды полно ведь :)
Amazing to watch this activity...
I see a hawk or some kind of meat eating bird at 2:00 AM. Namibia time. Also. I was wondering is this water hole man made?
I wondered if they would do like regular farm hogs, wade in and flop down.
that's what happens when you STAND in the drinkin water. off with you naughty.
Is the water always here or does it dry up?
It's always there- it's man made! 😁
You need to make this water bigger
Warthogs chasing one another
Awesome
Looks like Mars! 😳😳😳
Was that Gazelle Bundchen chasing off the warthog?
Those oinkers are quick!!
WHAT the ORYX is happening here!!
My goeiste!
Benehmt Euch!
Showdown at the OK Watering Hole...
wonderful, thanks for sharing.
is that a spring, rain pool, or artificial water hole?

That's why they are called hogs
Thank you,beautiful place.❤😍

I think it's in the description of the live stream, they say that they have a solar powered waterpump that provides water to the waterhole
Thank you very much voronazavr 😃

Where does the water come from to keep in full all the time….
Where does the water come from to keep it always full?
from the ground
👍🏾👍🏾♥️♥️
My .308 would work great for them dang old warthogs...
I would love a 360 view camera, but this current one should stay up because some people can't view the 360 view without eye problems or getting sick.
I heard they cannot show the location of endangered species because of poachers. So I guess they will not be able the hide the animals from a 360 view camera
J'adore
But we never saw a fight.
they are fight?
❤😉
So were is water coming from not from rain.
