This is a video highlighting the endangered Palm Cockatoo, the only non-cartoon bird known to make and play instruments, crafting drumsticks and using them to beat out a rhythm to attract a mate. Mates love good rhythm. Me? I have no rhythm. One time I tried to impress a date
This is a video documenting the rehabilitation of Princess Edna, a Pokemon 10-day old mole that was accidentally dug up by a man during garden renovations and reached out to Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley, British Columbia to care for the animal. Look at those front feet! And I

This one is cool though, featuring a well orchestrated performance of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in a Parisian square. All the singers and musicians
This is a video of musician Ronobir Lahiri performing Dr. Dre’s 1999 (my God, where has the time gone?) banger “Still D.R.E.’ on a traditional Indian sitar. If you had asked me when ‘Still D.R.E.’ came out I probably would have honestly guessed ten years ago. Definitely not 26. I
