FAQs

When are the cameras on?

Lincoln Park Zoo streams these habitats from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The only exceptions are site or stream maintenance, or if there are animal care needs that require a brief shutoff.

The camera is on but I don’t see any animals. Where are they?

At Lincoln Park Zoo, animals have choice and control over where to spend their time. Each species has a behind-the-scenes area that allows them to be out of sight of zoo guests, which means they’re also out of the camera frame. Check back later!

Where’s the sound?

These zoolife streams do not have sound. However, zoolife subscribers will hear the speaker when a zoo expert is narrating enrichment or other activity over the stream.

What are those blurred-out areas?

Zoolife pixelates areas where zoo guests are visible near animal habitats. They do this for all partners, not only to protect guest privacy, but also to create consistency across the experience when different institutions may have different privacy policies.

Questions? Technical issues?

Contact zoolife via email at support@zoolife.tv.

As always, Lincoln Park Zoo animals always may determine how they spend time in their habitat, and whether to be in public view or private space. We cannot guarantee that animals will be visible on our cams at all times.
