animal videos

If this video of one gecko saving another gecko from a deadly snake is any indication, you could do a lot worse than having a gecko look out for your safety. No wonder the gecko is the spokesperson for GEICO.

What’s cuter than a cat named Jumbo Pillow eating pumpkin strips while dressed in a pumpkin costume? Honestly, nothing. But if you don’t believe us, feel free to take a look for yourself.

An Ohio man who owned an exotic animal farm released his animals to the wild and then committed suicide on Tuesday, according to police. Farm owner Terry Thompson was found dead in his home near Columbus, OH by the sheriff’s deputies, who say his body had been disturbed by animals. Authorities will not comment on how Thompson killed himself.

Sound the “cute” alarm! In this amateur video captured by a tourist, a baby elephant at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire, England takes its first few hesitant steps.

By nudging a tennis ball down a flight of stairs — and then beating the ball to the bottom — a very clever Jack Russell terrier named Sid has figured out a way to play fetch with himself.

Rosie the dog got all dressed up for her birthday, but she doesn’t seem happy at all. In fact, this is the face children make when their parents are embarrassing them. Watch as her parents do just that.

In what is clearly the greatest and strangest commercial ever made, a poodle drives a half-car through a neon car wash manned by robots as Iron Maiden plays in the background. What’s the ad selling? Who cares!

This large group of cats really want to eat, and react with a chorus of meows, purrs and theatrics when their owner flashes some food. The scene gets pretty crazy with all the jockeying for position, which begs the question, “Who would own this many cats?” The pant-less guy to the left, that’s who.

Recently we uncovered video footage of what the Guinness Book of World Records says is the longest cat in the world. She’s 48 and a half inches long and belongs to a couple in the US. But last night on ’Conan,’ Conan O’Brien disputed the couples’s claim and showed viewers the actual longest cat in the world.

Most dogs fetch bones or sticks, but Buffy, a black lab, can fetch another dog named Benson. When the owner says, “Go fetch Benson,” Buffy proceeds to rush enthusiastically to the other lab’s side and pull him back home by the collar. This is actually a very practical skill, since Benson is deaf and wouldn’t know when to come inside otherwise.

Upon finding a baby king snake with two fully functional heads in his backyard, Tennessee man Paul Carver took it to state wildlife officials, who were just as baffled as he was. “I’ve been working 13 years and been in the woods all my life — nearly 40 years — and I’ve never seen anything like this,” explained wildlife officer Dale Grandstaff.

The baby monkey Little Nala is like any human infant in that she needs a transition object to help with bath time. In her case, it’s a stuffed animal. Watch as she squeaks and clutches her toy pal while her human mom rinses her off in the sink.
