Fun or funny animal videos -- share them here

[petra]

Videos of animals are a good way to escape from the mundane, however briefly. What have you found recently that's good?

Cats on ice.

Penguins going down stairs.

Penguins explore Shedd Aquarium.

Racoon eats pitted cherries.

Kittens on a roomba.

Hat tip to templemarker for finding a bunch of these and sharing them elsewhere.

I got this via misbegotten.

An amazing dog named Pink crushes the agility course at the Westminster Dog Show.

[petra]

Wow, what a good dog! That is impressive. I like the slo-mo replay of Pink Being Awesome, too.

[tamsin]

Aww, those penguins!

Bath Time for baby sloths

[petra]

I especially like the variety and scope of your third link. The first two are adorable!

[tamsin]

It's amazing how many animals pass by the same place!

THIS VIDEO GIVES ME LIFE!

The variety is amazing!

Two cats and lots of dominos.

[tamsin]

Such helpful cats *g* That must have been a lot of work to set up.

[petra]

Yeah, it looks like it took ages to set up. My suspicion is that they did it in different sessions and only the miracle of editing puts it all together, because otherwise the cat placement would be very difficult.

[tamsin]

I hadn't thought of that, but you're probably right. I would be very difficult to always get the cats to do exactly what you want them to do too.

STELLA'S BEST LEAF JUMPS OF ALL TIME - three minutes of a yellow lab joyfully jumping into leaf piles.

[lethe1]

That's hilarious! I love how her wagging tail would sometimes stick out :)

[petra]

Yes, that's definitely pleasing.

Squirrel on a greased bird feeder pole.

[scytale]

Aww! I'm so impressed with that squirrel's determination. And the way it just stops after a while and slides down patiently.

...honestly I'm rooting for the squirrel, shh.

[petra]

You're allowed to root for the squirrel just as much as everyone else is allowed to root against it. I have had moments where the world seemed just as slippery as that pole, for sure.

[lethe1]

Hahaha! I love how it slides down so resignedly.

[petra]

Oh, I love the cockatoo hoarding toilet paper. What a clever thing to get a smart bird to do. I'm going to save the others for a day when I need the sunshine. Thank you for the links!

[lethe1]

And thank you for this group!

[petra]

My pleasure!
