Here's a neat new tool from the Columbus Zoo, that allows you to virtually visit the park.

Take a LIVE webcam adventure through the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Nationwide and Jungle Jack Hanna invite you on a real-time, interactive tour of four Columbus Zoo animal habitats. What's really cool: You control Your Zoo View!

Select an animal below to get started.

As of now, the site allows you to take control of a live webcam in one of 4 zoo exhibits: Alaskan Brown Bears, Discovery Reef aquarium, Humboldt Penguins, and one of the zoo's Aviaries in Journey to Australia.

That is really amazing, thanks for sharing!
