Introduction
It is impossible to over-estimate the importance to our wellbeing of interacting with nature and animals. Although this may not be possible during the COVID-19 outbreak, a number of wildlife centres, zoos, aquariums and even farms provide online videos and live web cams of their charges, with San Diego numbering at least ten cameras on its own.
For some relaxation, you can do a lot worse than check out the web cams at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Footage from their Kelp Forest Cam is shown below.
