Because music is found in every known culture since the beginning of time, it has always served as a way to connect people to one another, to themselves, and sometimes, it seems as though music can even connect you to animals.
Although it may seem crazy to think that animals can have the same emotional reactions to music as you and I, there are plenty of videos to back this up, and if you still don't believe me when you check out the videos below, Google "zoomusicology" to learn all the cool facts!
You may remember seeing the touching video of a woman singing to her sick pig while he waited for surgery in the hospital. The comfort of being in the arms of someone he trusted while she sang, enabled the little pig to calm himself down, just like the triplet pandas when they heard the piano music played outside their pen.
But animals don’t just like the calming effects of music, as is evident in this video. Like the elephants that became absolutely captivated when they heard a young girl play a violin, even dancing along to the music, the cows you will see in this clip just can’t get enough when he they hear the sweet songs of music, from an instrument we’re guessing they have never heard before either.
Playing a fiberglass didgeridoo, this musician finds himself surrounded by cows who look absolutely hypnotized as a plays. Some even look like they might cross the embankment to get a little closer listen!
SHARE if you love music, too!
