A Tennessee sanctuary for elephants retired from circuses and zoos runs solar-powered cameras across its habitats and barns, streaming whatever the herd happens to be doing. There is no schedule and no performance: an elephant may be out of shot for an hour, then wander through for a dust bath.
Each animal has a history published on the sanctuary's own pages, so watching stops being an animal cam and becomes something closer to a retirement update.
