Beijing Zoo to launch 24/7 livestream of its animals

Beijing Zoo, one of the country's largest, will begin livestreaming video feeds of its various animal residents next month. 

China Online Zoo, a partnership with search giant Baidu, will launch on June 1, Children's Day. Viewers will be able to watch live broadcasts of animals at Beijing Zoo and search for specific animals via Baidu. 

So far, cameras have been installed in the zoo's panda and ring-tailed lemur pavilions. 

The Chengdu Panda Sanctuary has been livestreaming its pandas' lives since late last year.
