I used to work at an exotic animal rescue center that had a lot of birds that never shut up. One time when I was working I started singing some pop and Beatles songs. Something felt weird about 10min later and I realized that for the first time in my life, the room was dead silent. All the birds had been listening to me sing. Just hope it was silence of approval! XD
That’s because school boards and school administrations are peopled by those who don’t understand the importance of the arts in whole brain learning. They are mostly sports minded and don’t realize how true education for community is academic, athletic, and the aesthetic. We can’t teach kids to be nurturing humans with kindness without including what makes us human though the creative and performing arts. It takes more than just humanities teachers. School boards and administrators need to read a book on truly diversified learning.
I love that there was 2 kind of chimps, like the public at gigs, the ones that were seated, feeling the melody, and the one dancing and clapping, crazy about the rhythm.
It's NOT a language...it's everything language is NOT. But it is communication. Think about this, please: You can discuss, describe, analyze music endlessly...but NONE of it will actually BE music.

The Beluga is called Juno. He’s extremely interactive, and loves seeing people perform, music, dancing, singing. He also LOVES to scare little children by opening his mouth really wide. Lol. He’s so intelligent. Absolutely gorgeous.
@@pommiebears - I bet he opens his jaw wide because he has witnessed SO many kids do that, so he thinks that's what kids do! He's trying to communicate on their level. Interesting that he differentiates between adults & children's behaviors.
I don't think the belugas were mirroring the humans...looks like they were possibly echolocating, but definitely moving to feel the sound on their bodies.
Watching over cartoon in childhood causes CAROLINE JONES...yesterday a man having same symptom jump inside a tiger cage n start playing his harmonica n know doctors trying to remove harmonica from tigers stomach.
@@cubecorn4279 We are all one but different in our species. Yes some animals are very dangerous To humans. Some humans are dangerous to animals. The point I was making was we are all from the same source whatever that means to You. Many thanks for you observation though.
The beluga pressing its head against the glass of the tank when the guy was playing the fiddle is clear intent to listen on the part of the beluga. They don't hear quite in the same way we do, and sound doesn't translate from one medium to another very well, like air to water or air to solid. Pressing its head against the glass would help it pick up the sound better. Belugas are actually incredibly sound-oriented. As much as, if not more so, than dolphins (which they actually are not, belugas are more closely related to narwhals) Their hearing range is a bit higher pitched than ours, so violin/fiddle was a good choice. From the looks of it this one it was very interested in the sounds the man was making!
There is a farm some 10 km from us, they keep cows, once when passing the place I asked the driver to stop. I can sing Nessun Dorma and I performed it to the cows. All of them ran towards me and formed a beautiful row of audience. These animals really love music.
@@ChanaElisheva I think here in the nordics ladies used to sing while milking the cows. It relaxed them and made them more at ease with all the mosquitos bothering them.
My parent's parakeet listens to classical piano every morning as part of her schedule. When she visits, I play piano for her and she loves it. When I call my mom to ask about her she is always "preening to classical music". Animals love music.
the bear one is just an abused dancing bear in a sanctuary, some of them dont stop dancing some of them just dance at the site of humans because they have been abusively trained to do so
That's why I loved the movie close encounters of the 3rd kind as when we finally make contact with an alien species the most logical thing we could do to show our intelligence and kindness is to play something pleasing to the ear to our guest who we can't verbally converse with, like we do with animals and they all seem to love it
I think music is about the only thing we do that shows them anything truly intelligent about us. Pretty much everything else we do destroys their home, their food, and their peace. I'm pretty sure something that would really impress them would be to have a live small a capella group. And not only doing cute pop, jazz or folk numbers, but complex polyphonic music...something by Josquin de Prez or Thomas Tallis (Renaissance), or a Baroque choral fugue...most people have no idea how sophisticated their hearing life actually is. Most cetacean right brain hemispheres are substantially bigger than their left; they use, perceive and process sound on MULTIPLE bandwidths.
Why does this make me, a stoic 64 year old man, stream tears when I see the animals enjoying the sweet sounds as much as we humans do? It shouldn't surprise me but it does to the point where my jaw dropped several times at some of the reactions. Shades of antiquity when if you heard music it had to be live. And hearing sound frequencies in certain pleasing combinations has to be an almost spiritual experience the first time you hear it.
What a beautiful video. I like to sing when I go and stand on my balcony and it is amazing how many birds (different species) get attracted to my singing and just chill on the trees and listen for ages. Doves seem to enjoy my singing the most as they hang around until I go indoors.
They kidnapped that Belugas from their family to make some money out of them n know they have to work hours to get a small smelly dry fish..WOW WAT A BEAUTIFUL LIFE THEY GOT ..RIGHT. who cares for the big n open ocean when u have a wonderful casket. humans r great N U ofcourse u r 2.
When I sing, my dogs gather around and listen intently, maybe bark, yap, "talk" and howl. It's nice to know I have an appreciative audience! The chimps clapping and dancing and the walruses massing for the concert were amazing, as were the elephants dancing and playing the piano!

These musicians are really blessed ones as the animals find joy beyond anybody's imagination. This is really a harmony with which one could find divinity in nature.
Just imagine for a moment you're a cow in a field. One day, 17 weird looking cows come into your field and play a concert for you... You don't know what music is, you don't know where these weird cows came from, but you and your cow friends absolutely love it.
This really demonstrates that the statement which says music is a language is true. We thought that would only apply to humans but it’s a universal language. All animals certainly can hear and enjoy it. Incredible ❤
Animals of all kinds respond to music. I worked in animal rescue at the SPCA and was a foster parent for exotic animals in need of temporary shelter and care. I had a 10 foot Burmese Python for a few years and my girlfriend was deathly afraid of him. (At first) After work I’d open the snake’s huge terrarium and he was free to cruise around the apartment as he wished. I was always in my “music corner” practicing electric guitar in headphones while my girlfriend was always on the couch watching her prerecorded soap operas. The snake would always go to her and curl up in her lap. (She’s calm and warm, snakes love that) Her fear long gone, she thought of the snake as her buddy. And he was. But when I’d put down the electric guitar and headphones and pick up the acoustic, the snake would look right at me. Abandon the warm lap he was in to investigate the sound. He really seemed to like Eagles songs and he’d crawl across the floor to listen. Rear up his formidable upper body and touch his head to the guitar. I wondered if he was more interested in my hand movements but that wasn’t it, since my hands did the same movements on the electric guitar he couldn’t possibly hear, so it was the sound he was interested in. I did a little experiment. Let’s see if he likes heavy metal played on acoustic guitar? He immediately turned away at the sound of Black Sabbath and went crawling back to my girlfriend. So it wasn’t just the vibration of the guitar, he could tell the difference between something soothing and something negative or harsh. So, I started playing some old James Taylor songs and he came right back to me and rested his head on the guitar. Amazing. This reptile knows which kind of music he likes and it’s definitely not metal. One time, the snake was cruising around the apartment and just disappeared somewhere. We looked everywhere and couldn’t find him. He’s 10 feet long, there’s only so many places he could hide, so it has to be someplace warm. That’s where snakes go. My girlfriend was in tears worried about him. “Where is he?! Find him Sean!” I think she loves this snake more than me now. That’s so cool. In a last desperate hope, I rolled the refrigerator away from the wall and saw just part of his tail hanging out and he’s hissing at me. He’s all curled up in the compressor works where it’s warm and he’s in a foul mood because he’s shedding. Snakes are always in a crappy mood when they are shedding because their eyes turn opaque and they can’t see. He’s all tangled up in the refrigerator works and there’s no getting him out. I’d have to take the whole refrigerator apart and still he’d resist being freed from his warm lair. Super strong, you can’t just move him if he doesn’t want to move. My girlfriend came up with a brilliant plan. “Get your guitar and start playing the music he likes. Hotel California I think is his favorite.” I sat down and started playing Hotel California. My girlfriend is watching the snake in the fridge, “He’s moving, he hears it. Keep playing.” The 10 foot Python crawled out of the fridge and over to me and rested his head against the guitar. “Hey buddy? We were worried about you.” (I blocked off the back of the fridge with wire mesh so he couldn’t get in there again) The moral of the story though is that music really does tame the savage beast and when I’ve gone on animal rescues, whether it be a pack of wolves or a pool of alligators, I bring my guitar with me just in case.
All that said, I’d like to issue a warning about keeping large constrictor snakes as pets. I’m a professional and know what they are capable of. They aren’t mean in a human kind of thinking but they’re instinctive. They can kill you without any intent in doing so. Major rule with large constrictors: You can’t sleep with them. They belong in their cage at night. They can wiggle through even what you think is a secure door and they’ll find your warm body and want to cuddle. All that seems kind of cool, but just hanging out with my snake in the evening he’d wrap himself around my arm. And squeeze. It’s just natural to them but because it’s so gradual in pressure, I’d be like, “Hey! Naga! Wake up! You’re hurting me.” I’d tap him on the nose and he’d wake up and his muscles relaxed. He was dreaming of killing a rat or something. Didn’t know my arm wasn’t a rat. Now imagine sleeping with this snake all comfortable and cuddly and he takes a wrap on your neck? He doesn’t mean to kill you, but stupid people have died this way. On the Bay Bridge in San Francisco a strange person was driving across the bridge and crashed into the guardrail. Turns out, his wonderful and beautiful boa constrictor had strangled him. The snake is not at fault, a constrictor’s hold is very gentle to start with. Then the pressure increases and you better be awake as that happens. Otherwise, you’re a dead idiot like this guy was. My girlfriend really loved our snake and knew he’d never hurt her. (Not intentionally anyway), but snakes dream like all animals, so they aren’t to be trusted in that subconscious state. “Yeah, Naga is very gentle and won’t hurt you while he’s awake but watch out when he’s asleep. He has snake-dreams and he doesn’t know where he is just like you don’t while you’re in your dreams. The difference is, his dreams are about killing. Period. He dreams about rodents and he’ll involuntary act out these dreams on anything he’s wrapped around.” Another “experiment” involved Dawn letting the snake wrap on her arm while watching TV late at night. So cute. I was wide awake. She seemed disconnected from reality here. Loving her cuddly snake. Naga was asleep. That’s when he’s most dangerous. I could see him constricting on her arm but she didn’t notice it. “Babe, look at your hand. All the blood vessels are swelled. Naga is squeezing you.” She looked at her hand, and said “Oh shit!” I tapped Naga on the head and he woke up. Relaxed his muscles and probably wondered why I disrupted his peaceful snooze. Dawn was like, “Why would he do that?” I nodded, “He’s a f*cking snake. He was asleep and dreaming. He’ll never bite you because you’re his mother but he’s still a snake when he’s asleep and has no clue who you are. Your warm arm in his dreams feels like a rat to him. That’s why he tried to squeeze the life out of it. Nothing personal, he’s dreaming. You get it yet how you can’t cuddle with a constrictor while you’re both asleep? Why he needs to be securely locked in his cage at night?” Dawn feared the snake when he was awake and cruising around. That’s not when to be afraid because they’re basically harmless then. It’s when you relax with them and not know the danger they pose at night. Again, because they’re asleep and dream of killing not you, but the warm thing they are wrapped around in their dreams. Dawn gained a greater respect for this huge snake and realized “befriending” him wasn’t all there was going on here. Sure, Naga loves Dawn but now she sees the threat. Don’t sleep with a constrictor and never feed him in his cage. The thing about never feeding a reptile in his “home” has to do with his association with the cage door opening meaning food. You can’t make that connection with them. Otherwise, you’ll get bit when you open the door. Snakes can’t see very well but they hear the door opening and if that’s what they think is food coming, they’ll bite your hand. Lots of beginners in snake handling have learned this the hard way. So, Dawn wondered why I always fed Naga in the bathroom. In the tub full of water. For one, snakes love water and it’s nowhere near his cage. I have to be honest, it’s pretty gross watching a snake eat a rat in your bath tub but that’s just the way it’s done. I’ve had rats as pets before and I like them. Wish I didn’t have to do this but I’m looking out for this snake. Something has to give. So now, when I open Naga’s cage, he doesn’t think food and crawls around looking for Dawn’s warm lap. If he’s hungry, he goes into the bathroom. Sometimes, he’s not hungry but just wants to swim in the tub. I know this because when he’s hungry he climbs up on me and says so. When he just wants to swim he crawls into the tub waiting for me to run the warm water for him. Then he’s happily swimming in the water. Dawn would be here for these moments but couldn’t stomach feeding time. That’s okay, I’ll deal with the gross stuff, but Naga is happy now just swimming in his tub. Dawn is smiling. “He’s so cute!” Then Naga would relax on the bottom of the tub underwater. I wonder how long he can hold his breath? It’s been ten minutes and Dawn is worried he’s going to drown. “This is ridiculous! Please save him!” I’d reach in and touch his head and he’d come to the surface and flick his tongue at us and wonder why we bothered him and go right back underwater where he was comfortable. It truly was maddening to think how long he would do this and not drown? I guess snakes know what they’re doing and us humans will never get it. We retire to the living room to let the snake do his thing. Maybe an hour went by and here comes Naga all shiny and wet and crawls up on the couch and as usual, picks Dawn’s lap to curl up in. She’s ready with a towel to dry him off even though he doesn’t think he needs drying off. He was fine completely wet and doesn’t understand why we’d prefer him dry. He tolerates our odd behavior so unlike a snake. He does like the towel though. He really does like being babied. He relaxes completely as Dawn dries him off and then gets playful like a child. He’s slithering between us back and forth and sticking his tongue in our faces, he’s obviously very happy. Like a puppy but this is a huge snake. Same difference. Anyway, I get on a writing tangent and don’t know when to quit. So I’ll quit now. Long day on boats tomorrow. Wish it wasn’t so f*cking cold. Take care and be safe everyone.
To be truly accurate the original saying is "Music has charms to soothe the savage breast" not beast. It's from William Congeve's 1697 play "The Mourning Bride".
Thank you for this beautiful video it made me laugh at all the beautiful animals enjoying the music. How could we not love each and every one of them . Blessing to all that gave them moments of peace and happiness 😊

Just imagine for a moment you're a cow in a field. One day, 17 weird looking cows come into your field and play a concert for you... You don't know what music is, you don't know where these weird cows came from, but you and your cow friends absolutely love it.
It would be so cool if these places played music for all their animals. It wouldn’t cost that much.
This really demonstrates that the statement which says music is a language is true. We thought that would only apply to humans but it’s a universal language. All animals certainly can hear and enjoy it. Incredible ❤
The chimps, beluga’s and elephants 💚💚💚💚💚just wow
Music is one of the most important inventions mankind did. It is almost on par with language
Proof it doesn't have to be of the human species to enjoy music.
Animals are so precious. We are so gifted.
They're all cute but those elephants really surprised me.
Animals of all kinds respond to music. I worked in animal rescue at the SPCA and was a foster parent for exotic animals in need of temporary shelter and care. I had a 10 foot Burmese Python for a few years and my girlfriend was deathly afraid of him. (At first)
After work I’d open the snake’s huge terrarium and he was free to cruise around the apartment as he wished. I was always in my “music corner” practicing electric guitar in headphones while my girlfriend was always on the couch watching her prerecorded soap operas.
The snake would always go to her and curl up in her lap. (She’s calm and warm, snakes love that) Her fear long gone, she thought of the snake as her buddy. And he was.
But when I’d put down the electric guitar and headphones and pick up the acoustic, the snake would look right at me. Abandon the warm lap he was in to investigate the sound. He really seemed to like Eagles songs and he’d crawl across the floor to listen. Rear up his formidable upper body and touch his head to the guitar. I wondered if he was more interested in my hand movements but that wasn’t it, since my hands did the same movements on the electric guitar he couldn’t possibly hear, so it was the sound he was interested in.
I did a little experiment. Let’s see if he likes heavy metal played on acoustic guitar? He immediately turned away at the sound of Black Sabbath and went crawling back to my girlfriend. So it wasn’t just the vibration of the guitar, he could tell the difference between something soothing and something negative or harsh. So, I started playing some old James Taylor songs and he came right back to me and rested his head on the guitar. Amazing. This reptile knows which kind of music he likes and it’s definitely not metal.
One time, the snake was cruising around the apartment and just disappeared somewhere. We looked everywhere and couldn’t find him.
He’s 10 feet long, there’s only so many places he could hide, so it has to be someplace warm. That’s where snakes go. My girlfriend was in tears worried about him. “Where is he?! Find him Sean!” I think she loves this snake more than me now. That’s so cool.
In a last desperate hope, I rolled the refrigerator away from the wall and saw just part of his tail hanging out and he’s hissing at me. He’s all curled up in the compressor works where it’s warm and he’s in a foul mood because he’s shedding. Snakes are always in a crappy mood when they are shedding because their eyes turn opaque and they can’t see. He’s all tangled up in the refrigerator works and there’s no getting him out. I’d have to take the whole refrigerator apart and still he’d resist being freed from his warm lair. Super strong, you can’t just move him if he doesn’t want to move.
My girlfriend came up with a brilliant plan. “Get your guitar and start playing the music he likes. Hotel California I think is his favorite.”
I sat down and started playing Hotel California. My girlfriend is watching the snake in the fridge, “He’s moving, he hears it. Keep playing.”
The 10 foot Python crawled out of the fridge and over to me and rested his head against the guitar. “Hey buddy? We were worried about you.” (I blocked off the back of the fridge with wire mesh so he couldn’t get in there again)
The moral of the story though is that music really does tame the savage beast and when I’ve gone on animal rescues, whether it be a pack of wolves or a pool of alligators, I bring my guitar with me just in case.
All that said, I’d like to issue a warning about keeping large constrictor snakes as pets. I’m a professional and know what they are capable of. They aren’t mean in a human kind of thinking but they’re instinctive. They can kill you without any intent in doing so.
Major rule with large constrictors: You can’t sleep with them. They belong in their cage at night.
They can wiggle through even what you think is a secure door and they’ll find your warm body and want to cuddle. All that seems kind of cool, but just hanging out with my snake in the evening he’d wrap himself around my arm. And squeeze. It’s just natural to them but because it’s so gradual in pressure, I’d be like, “Hey! Naga! Wake up! You’re hurting me.” I’d tap him on the nose and he’d wake up and his muscles relaxed. He was dreaming of killing a rat or something. Didn’t know my arm wasn’t a rat. Now imagine sleeping with this snake all comfortable and cuddly and he takes a wrap on your neck? He doesn’t mean to kill you, but stupid people have died this way.
On the Bay Bridge in San Francisco a strange person was driving across the bridge and crashed into the guardrail. Turns out, his wonderful and beautiful boa constrictor had strangled him. The snake is not at fault, a constrictor’s hold is very gentle to start with. Then the pressure increases and you better be awake as that happens. Otherwise, you’re a dead idiot like this guy was.
My girlfriend really loved our snake and knew he’d never hurt her. (Not intentionally anyway), but snakes dream like all animals, so they aren’t to be trusted in that subconscious state. “Yeah, Naga is very gentle and won’t hurt you while he’s awake but watch out when he’s asleep. He has snake-dreams and he doesn’t know where he is just like you don’t while you’re in your dreams. The difference is, his dreams are about killing. Period. He dreams about rodents and he’ll involuntary act out these dreams on anything he’s wrapped around.”
Another “experiment” involved Dawn letting the snake wrap on her arm while watching TV late at night. So cute. I was wide awake. She seemed disconnected from reality here. Loving her cuddly snake. Naga was asleep. That’s when he’s most dangerous. I could see him constricting on her arm but she didn’t notice it. “Babe, look at your hand. All the blood vessels are swelled. Naga is squeezing you.”
She looked at her hand, and said “Oh shit!” I tapped Naga on the head and he woke up. Relaxed his muscles and probably wondered why I disrupted his peaceful snooze.
Dawn was like, “Why would he do that?” I nodded, “He’s a f*cking snake. He was asleep and dreaming. He’ll never bite you because you’re his mother but he’s still a snake when he’s asleep and has no clue who you are. Your warm arm in his dreams feels like a rat to him. That’s why he tried to squeeze the life out of it. Nothing personal, he’s dreaming. You get it yet how you can’t cuddle with a constrictor while you’re both asleep? Why he needs to be securely locked in his cage at night?”
Dawn feared the snake when he was awake and cruising around. That’s not when to be afraid because they’re basically harmless then. It’s when you relax with them and not know the danger they pose at night.
Again, because they’re asleep and dream of killing not you, but the warm thing they are wrapped around in their dreams.
Dawn gained a greater respect for this huge snake and realized “befriending” him wasn’t all there was going on here.
Sure, Naga loves Dawn but now she sees the threat. Don’t sleep with a constrictor and never feed him in his cage.
The thing about never feeding a reptile in his “home” has to do with his association with the cage door opening meaning food. You can’t make that connection with them. Otherwise, you’ll get bit when you open the door. Snakes can’t see very well but they hear the door opening and if that’s what they think is food coming, they’ll bite your hand. Lots of beginners in snake handling have learned this the hard way. So, Dawn wondered why I always fed Naga in the bathroom. In the tub full of water. For one, snakes love water and it’s nowhere near his cage. I have to be honest, it’s pretty gross watching a snake eat a rat in your bath tub but that’s just the way it’s done. I’ve had rats as pets before and I like them. Wish I didn’t have to do this but I’m looking out for this snake. Something has to give.
So now, when I open Naga’s cage, he doesn’t think food and crawls around looking for Dawn’s warm lap. If he’s hungry, he goes into the bathroom. Sometimes, he’s not hungry but just wants to swim in the tub. I know this because when he’s hungry he climbs up on me and says so. When he just wants to swim he crawls into the tub waiting for me to run the warm water for him. Then he’s happily swimming in the water. Dawn would be here for these moments but couldn’t stomach feeding time. That’s okay, I’ll deal with the gross stuff, but Naga is happy now just swimming in his tub. Dawn is smiling. “He’s so cute!”
Then Naga would relax on the bottom of the tub underwater. I wonder how long he can hold his breath? It’s been ten minutes and Dawn is worried he’s going to drown. “This is ridiculous! Please save him!”
I’d reach in and touch his head and he’d come to the surface and flick his tongue at us and wonder why we bothered him and go right back underwater where he was comfortable. It truly was maddening to think how long he would do this and not drown? I guess snakes know what they’re doing and us humans will never get it. We retire to the living room to let the snake do his thing. Maybe an hour went by and here comes Naga all shiny and wet and crawls up on the couch and as usual, picks Dawn’s lap to curl up in. She’s ready with a towel to dry him off even though he doesn’t think he needs drying off. He was fine completely wet and doesn’t understand why we’d prefer him dry.
He tolerates our odd behavior so unlike a snake. He does like the towel though. He really does like being babied. He relaxes completely as Dawn dries him off and then gets playful like a child. He’s slithering between us back and forth and sticking his tongue in our faces, he’s obviously very happy. Like a puppy but this is a huge snake. Same difference.
Anyway, I get on a writing tangent and don’t know when to quit. So I’ll quit now. Long day on boats tomorrow. Wish it wasn’t so f*cking cold. Take care and be safe everyone.
all these animals talking to their friends like “u wont believe what sound this animal on the otherside of the glass sounds like”
Elefants and wight weels are the most incredible!
The elephant bopping his head to the piano playing was really digging the tune.
More people should do this.
Music truly does soothe the 'savage' beast!
To be accurate:
• Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.
• To soften Rocks or bend a knotted Oak.
I'm just your every day busybody! 🙏🏼
To be truly accurate the original saying is "Music has charms to soothe the savage breast" not beast. It's from William Congeve's 1697 play "The Mourning Bride".
Yeah, humans do seem to love it too XD
I like that spinning dolphin at 1:51
The elephants and the piano! That bubble booty gettin' down, lol.
Thank you for this beautiful video it made me laugh at all the beautiful animals enjoying the music. How could we not love each and every one of them . Blessing to all that gave them moments of peace and happiness 😊
Lol that dolphin spinning in the background 💀💀💀
More reason to show love and respect for animals rather than exploit, abuse, torture, imprison, slaughter these sentient, innocent, trusting souls.
PERIOT
Love, LOVE, L O V E The cows @2:04. "Gotta get a good listening position, we in for something special here!"
Well, music is supposed to sooth us savage beasts! And, dancing has healing properties! lol
I love how animals love music!! It's so wonderful to watch their reactions.
Music is a universal language!
It had me in tears. These are Gods creatures. WOW
All God's creatures react to music ....even plants! 🥰 I once had a potted asparagus fern that would actually grow towards the music, especially Beethoven! ..You could actually see it growing towards the record player! (Yeah...that was a long time ago...a record player. 😉)
Idk why animals reacting to music makes me wanna cry but it does
Sad to see the chimp had better dance moves than I do xD
There's two kind of dolphins, super chill ones and the ones that become crazy washing machines.
Amazing ❤ the one chimp was dancing and clapping. Animals are the best❤️
So, so beautiful. The reaction of the Beluga whale to the music moved me to tears ..... 😏
Guy: Playing violin.
Horse: Headbanging.
Isn't it lovely how God made our animal friends. Beautiful video.
Animals and muisic make life worth living.
God's beautiful creation! Animals are so amazing! ♥️💐♥️
Maravilloso!!! La música nos conecta ❤
Animals understand music. They are more connected to the things that are than we humans realize.
The way they moved to the music, made me tear up. I needed this today. Thank you 😊
Elated my heart so much today! Thank you! The horses and violin & guitar- priceless!
The horses and bagpipes, I swear I saw a horn on its head for just a spark of a moment.
Lol I love how there is just one listening and the other in the back dancing 1:50
