Want to bring a little wildlife into a horrifyingly unnatural, windowless work environment? Well, your choices are — pretty much any kind of animal you can think of.

Here are a mere smattering of cammed animals to get you started on your virtual safari.

1. Pandas!

2. Penguins!

Animal Planet offers a Noah’s Ark-ful of animal cams, including this one.

OK, maybe this one requires an explanation. The cockroach isn’t my favorite animal, but Cockroach Cam is easily my favorite animal-cam: Here, these widely demonized creatures crawl around what appears to be a tiny kitchen purpose-built for their creepy pleasure.

And as a completely bizarre bonus, a miniature TV screen on the wall broadcasts “Roach-O-Vision” movies, such as a 1965 soccer newsreel.
