Animal Videos

A dog with suspiciously human-like hands is able to play a jaunty tune on the piano. Check out what this musically talented (and well-dressed) German shorthaired pointer can do below.

Last time we checked, golf was supposed to be relaxing. But at a golf course in Australia, the links are now home to the stuff of nightmares: a school of bull sharks.

In yet another amazing tale proving some animals are more compassionate than human beings, we humbly submit Jolie, the heroic mama cat. Jolie calls England her home, and when she was pregnant, some cruel dolt tossed her out of a moving car. She survived, and a kind soul fed her and eventually confined her in a rural area before calling the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. R

Jack, the loveable sheep in this video, has convinced himself that he is a dog. Instead of grazing like his fellow sheep, Jack fetches sticks, tries to bark, and even arrogantly herds his sheep brethren. It’s like a ‘Far Side’ cartoon come to life!

In this cute video, the simple act of turning on a vacuum cleaner causes a mass stampede of scores of fluffy kittens. The vacuum: a kitten’s worst nightmare. Check out the “kitty kavalcade” below.

Think there’s nothing cuter than a puppy? How about a Boston Terrier puppy named Kody gnawing on a shoestring? With giant puppy paws and enormous pink ears that make even grown people say dawwwww over and over again like they’re five years old? This video reaches near-lethal levels of cute.

Typically, surfers will do just about anything to avoid a great white shark. But compassion entered into the picture when a baby great white shark washed up on shore in Venice Beach, Ca. over the weekend.

Though it takes him a little while to figure out the proper plan of attack, a dog named Stubs is able to climb a tree in order to retrieve a stick his owner put up there. Good boy! Check out the industrious pooch in the video below.

A couple of pint-sized bear cubs stopped traffic in Yosemite National Park recently when they staged a playful wrestling match right in the middle of the road. Nearby motorists reacted to this adorable scene by saying things like “I want one,” and “Oh, please come to my car.” Luckily, nobody acted on these impulses because — as you can see in the video below — mama bear was carefully watching her

When it comes to playing with cleaning tools, not every cat needs a Roomba to have a good time. Plenty are happy with just a plain old broom. In fact, they may even prefer it. Sure the ride may be a little bumpier on a manual, but most cats won’t bristle at that.

Apparently, this golden retriever howls along every time the daughter of the house practices her saxophone. The results aren’t exactly John Coltrane and Billie Holiday, but it’s not so bad for inter-species jazz.

With their wobbly gait and tuxedo-style fur, penguins are goofily adorable no matter what they do. In the video below, a tiny penguin has had enough of a human who got a little too close, and charges the man while barking. This surprises the gawker, who slips on the ice and falls down while backing away from the flightless bird.
