Jessica The Hippo – A Rare Wild Animal That Keeps As A Family Pet


Most people usually keep dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and so on as family pets. Some people do keep wild animals such as monkeys, snakes, bears, etc. illegally as house pets.

However, I have never heard of people keeping huge wild animals in the family and treating them as their children. Sometimes, the size of the animal can be so huge that it might double the size of human being.

I just found a funny and interesting story about a South African family who owns a female hippopotamus called Jessica as family pet. A kind-hearted gentleman found her being washed up by flood water when she was just a day old. He took Jessica home 7 years ago and he’s still keeping her up till these days.

Jessica the hippo spends her days lazing in the sun and cooling down in the water. She eats snacks with the dogs and she knows where to get food when she is hungry. What Jessica needs to do is to enter the kitchen to look for food.

Jessica plays with other wild hippopotamus at the other side of the river as she likes to do so. But what makes Jessica so remarkable is that she will still find her way back and look for her adopted parents even though she is free to leave any time.

At the end of the video clip, you will see that Jessica likes a massage before she goes to bed after a long hard day of eating. I think this lovely hippo is very dog-like.

I’m inspired by the fantastic bond between human and animal. Jessica the hippo is a wonderful addition to the family of the South African couples who have a kind soul. Jessica is loved and she loves back too.

Cute And Lovely Baby Orang Utans


I often think that babies are lovely especially those chubby ones. I never knew that baby Orang Utans can be as cute and lovely as human babies.

The video clip below features a bunch of delicate and tiny Orang Utans which are orphans being sent to the rehabilitation centre. This is a place to help the baby Orang Utans to get back to the wild.

The tiny Orang Utans look so cute and adorable. They wear diapers and get bathed just like human babies. I believe these orphan Orang Utans need motherly care and lots of love too as all living things need that. Who wouldn’t?

Let the cute and lovely baby Orang Utans put a smile on your face by watching the video clip.

Organic Food – Hammy The Hamster Prefers Organic To Conventional Food


There is an interesting and cute video clip that leads to the debate of web users on whether organic food really tastes better than conventional food. The superstar appearing in this video was none other but a cute hamster named Hammy.

The creator of the video is Kenneth who did a scientific experiment trying to find out the answer to the important question that leads people to compare the taste of organic food and conventional food. As human beings might get affected by marketing hype, the only way to get rid of this biasness is to do the experiment on an animal. 

In this case, a cute hamster was used as an unbiased test subject probably because hamster has superior taste buds. The person who conducted the experiment has designed it in such a way that it lets Hammy the hamster to repeatedly choose between an organic food item and a conventional food item of the same type. 

Interestingly, Hammy had chosen organic food in 60% of the trials. The simple experiment shows that Hammy the hamster prefers organic food to conventional food although Hammy had chosen the conventional walnuts over the organic. This is an exceptional case that shows the fascinating inconsistency. 

Some of the people may think that the result is not conclusive enough. But who cares? This is just a simple test by using the scientifical way to find out the taste preference of an animal. So, why take it so seriously? 

I would just take it as an educational piece of information as well as an entertaining video clip to de-stress myself. Inside the video clip, you’ll find that Hammy the hamster is so cute and lovely.

Rat Loves Cat Video : Animals Of Different Species Get Along Harmoniously


We all know that animals of different species don’t get along well if they were to put together. Either they will fight with or chase after each other. This is especially true when one acts as the predator role and the other the prey role. Typical examples are dog and cat, cat and rat, etc. 

Just look at the famous cartoon show entitled “Tom & Jerry“. Jerry Mouse likes to disturb the Tom Cat. Therefore, the kind-hearted Tom always chases after the naughty Jerry. In return, Jerry takes revenge by sabotaging Tom and messing up around the household and let Tom get scolded by the house owner for the rampage.

However, there are instances whereby animals of different species do get along harmoniously. Besides the story of the mommy pig adopting the little puppies as published in my earlier post, I have found another video clip featuring rats and cat are getting along well under one roof.

The rat likes to play with the cat very much. Whereas, the cat seems like trying to tolerate the somewhat irritating rat. I’m not sure whether the cat would lose its patience one day or not. Maybe the cat’s nature will force him to do something to the rat if the rat keeps on irritating the cat. 

Anyway, the rat and cat are friends for now and let us not bother about what will happen after that. So, click on the video clip and enjoy the “rat loves cat” scene :

Christmas Song Video – Cute Animals Got Talents Too


Just watched a cute video clip on YouTube featuring a bunch of animals singing Christmas song. I find it very entertaining to see the animals of different species singing Christmas song with the help of some special effects produced in the video. It is indeed very cute.

I think the creator of the video clip has done a very good job in designing the animation to match the song. It makes the flow of the video a smooth and interesting one.

Besides the popular “American Got Talent” and “Briton’s Got Talent” shows, I think the creator of the video clip has produced a successful “Animals Got Talent” video too.

As Christmas is drawing near, I think the “Cute Animal Christmas Song” is a fun video for the families, friends and loved ones to watch and share the joy.

Here is the video clip of the “Cute Animal Christmas Song” :

Mommy Pig Adopted The Abandoned Puppies And Live Harmoniously Together


I happened to find an interesting video clip on YouTube telling a story of 4 small puppies and 1 Greek pig living happily together at a farm. 

The 4 puppies were abandoned at birth and left on a farm near Salonika in Greece. Unusually, the farm’s sow decided to take them in. They now all live together. Wow, this sounds like a fairy tale kind of story. But the fact is that the mommy pig is really adopting the little dogs and feeding them with her own milk together with her piglets.

This is amazing as we know that different species don’t usually live together as one family. The act of love from the mommy pig towards the puppies is making us to think otherwise. This shows that the mommy pig is indeed very generous to treat the puppies just like her own offsprings. Perhaps this is called true mother’s love among different species.

Watch the interesting and heart-warming video clip on how the puppies, the piglets and the generous mommy pig live harmoniously together :

Dog Training Show – Be A Responsible Pet Owner


I have been to a dog training show recently. The theme of the event was to advocate people not to buy pets on impulse especially during the holiday seasons such as Christmas. If you want to have a pet such as dog, cat, rabbit, hamster and so on, please Be A Responsible Pet Owner because A Pet Is For LIFE.

Animals have lives just like you and I so be nice to these creatures. You should not buy a dog just for fun or just because you are in the mood for having a dog or you need a companion only when you feel you are lonely. 

My Favourite Dog Breed — Pug :

You should not dump the dog if you find it troublesome to keep dogs. Pet dogs are not litters for you to discard them. Please do not abandon the dog after you find that you no longer need it as if you are throwing away the used tissue papers.

If you are a good and responsible dog owner, it may be good to send your dogs for some dog training programmes in order for your dogs to listen to your instructions better.

I hope you love your dogs and take good care of them. I believe the dogs would love you and be faithful to you even more in return. Remember this….dogs are human beings’ best companion. Be A Responsible Pet Owner because A Pet Is For LIFE.

Monkey Business In Japan – Intelligent Monkey Macaque To Please Customers


My friend, the GFF, sent me an email saying that there was a news reporting about a newly-found business idea to fight off business crisis in Japan. It was talking about a Kayabukiya Tavern owner is bringing up a new generation of customer-pleasing waiters. This Sakae house is employing 2 popular and unusual waiters called Fuku-Chan and Yat-Chan in Tokyo.

What is so special about employing waiters to please customers then? Well, it is special because the employees are non-human beings. They are none others but a pair of monkey macaque. The duty of the monkey waiters is to deliver hot towel to their customers before they order their drinks. I think this is just amazing.

Actually, the 2 monkeys were once household pets but now certified restaurant employees. The monkey pair is working shifts up to a maximum of 2 hours a day due to animal rights regulation.

These 2 monkeys are well-appreciated by their customers who tipped them with boiled soya beans. Some of the Tavern customers feedback saying that the monkeys are providing a better service than those real bad human waiters.

Fuku-Chan and Yat-Chan, the monkey pair, are eager and natural to please their customers. No wonder why their customers find the monkeys adorable just like their kids or even better than their own children who don’t listen to them. Some of the Tavern customers are impressed with the monkeys because they understand the customer’s order. They also find the monkeys amazing for understanding human’s words.

So, if you are a business owner who cannot find good employees to serve your customers, I think you can turn to the animals for labour shortages. You never know monkeys can provide a better service than human beings.

Watch the video clip if you are ready for some serious monkey business :

Curious Cat Fighting With Printer


I happened to find a video clip about a cat that was fighting with a printer on YouTube. It is very interesting to know that the cat can be so curious to see pieces and pieces of A4-sized papers were coming out from the printing machine.

I guess the cat was attracted to the printer because of the noise given out while processing the printing. I personally feel that the noise of printing can be quite loud and annoying sometimes. When animals are confronting with the printing monster, thing can turn out to be a funny and interesting scenario. Basically, animals wouldn’t know what is going on with the machine designed by human being to make duplicate copies of document.

The intelligent way of photostating document is making the human’s work more efficient but it can be a nightmare for animals such as the curious cat appearing in the video clip. The cat might be thinking puzzledly : “What the hell is the monster doing in front of me!”. 

This is a vey nice video clip to show how a cat was fighting with a printer. The video owner has candidly spiced up the video with some sound effect that makes it funnier and more humourous than just a plain soundless video. 

Wow, this video clip of the curious cat fighting with a printer has close to 2.4 millions views so far. This shows that how popular this video is. Here you go :

An Encounter With A Timid Red-Eyed Cat


My company is located in an industrial park and it is unlikely to find any animal around that area. Two days ago, I was very surprised to see a stray cat was lying on the floor along the corridor at the very far end of the building. My colleague was as puzzled as me to see the “special guest” around.

I was very curious to find out whether this cat would be as friendly as my good companion, ArMeow the lovely black and white cat, or not. Furthermore, the door at the opposite end of the building was closed and it would be too heavy for a tiny cat to push open the door. 

So, I decided to find myself an answer and walked towards it. At the same time, I was trying to help the cat to open the door and let it go back to wherever it had come from. As I was approaching the cat, I found that it was a very young cat. It has red eyes, white and light brown furs. It wasn’t a rabbit for sure.

The cat was very frightened to see me approaching it. Guess what? The cat ran away as quickly as it could as if it was running for its life. Perhaps the cat was thinking that I was trying to harm it even though my real intention was to help it escape. To me, that cat is a very timid cat. Never mind, different cats have different characters just like human being. I cannot expect the white and brown stray cat to be as friendly as my lovely ArMeow.
