Funny animal videos

Here’s something for a lazy Sunday afternoon. This first video is from a show where bunnies compete in various jumping feats. I’ve never seem anything like this before.

Some fellow really enjoys spanking his cat — and the cat seems to like it as well.

This little lamb is so cute I could hug him.

A horse gets the fresh idea to jump over the fence and join a bike race. People freak out, but thankfully no serious injuries occur, and the race goes on while the horse gallops away after missing a turn.

I didn’t think it was possible, but yes, you can fit an entire cat into a goldfish bowl. And, the cat will do it by itself!

A threatened tamandua (ant eater) strikes a kung-fu pose. Apparently that’s their natural reflex. Funny stuff!

This baby elephant dances while playing his harmonica. I can hear the owner goading him on, so I don’t know if the elephant truly enjoys it, or if it’s just trained behavior.

Quirky music videos

I like quirky, odd music videos, alongside the well-made, polished commercial stuff. My latest favorites from YouTube are enclosed below.

The Kooks have some pretty good music. Here they cover Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy”:

This Japanese group put together a stop-motion animation video set to something that could be called music:

Luray Caverns, in Virginia, has a man-made wonder: the Great Stalacpipe Organ. It’s made of little hammers that strike stalactites of various dimensions, producing musical sounds. I heard it in person, and it sounds pretty eerie in that big, dark cave.

Don’t know if these fellows are real policemen, but the song and video are pretty funny. Perhaps it’s because I can’t understand a single word:

Have you ever heard Bolero played on a single instrument? No? Then have a peek at this:

A talented flute player by the name of Greg Patillo put together some unique interpretations of popular theme songs:

Cool animal videos

Whenever I find good videos on YouTube, I fave and categorize them. Here are some of the animal clips I faved lately:

I’ll post more clips like these soon. Sorry about the mouse infestation video (second in the sequence), but it’s worth watching.

Amazing survivor of parachute malfunction

A parachutist from New Zealand by the name of Michael Holmes somehow survived a major parachute malfunction from several thousand feet with only a broken ankle, a collapsed lung, and a broken nose. And on top of it all, he wanted to keep jumping afterwards… Talk about not learning your lesson. The first part is raw video from his helmet cam, and the second part is a follow-up TV interview.

The Simpsons voice actors

James Lipton interviewed the actors that do the voices for The Simpsons, and a kind soul uploaded the video to YouTube.  It’s divided into three parts. Enjoy!
