I'll ask my mum to play something tomorrow on the piano and i will try and capture Rajah howling to it.

another one bites the dust

[Jessica]

Snowball! Yes I remember the backstreet boys video with him, too :-)

[Audiogen]

Don't know if this bird interacts with the music or they just record it and then set it to music. Close enough to the theme regardless.

Omg I love this one. Elephants dancing to violin music is one of the cutest sights on Earth.

Beat Keeping in a California Sea Lion (Ronan)

[Jessica]

Haha wow
I wonder if he actually finds the music enjoyable

[Audiogen]

Jessica
Ronan is a She lion. I hope this guy was reported to PETA for the choice of music

[Jessica]

Lol true. So many better options.

snake charmer with 4 cobras in Kochi (India)

[Audiogen]

Jessica zero to do with music from the perspective of the snakes? I don't think they "hear" music but practically all snake charmers play that instrument as far as I'm aware, so it's an integral part of the tradition and interaction.

[Jessica]

Yeah, for the snakes. The music is for the benefit of the human audience. I wasn't criticising posting it :-) just clarifying that the snake wasn't interacting with the music, for anyone who didn't know

[Audiogen]

Jessica The notion that the snakes are hypnotized or swaying to the sound is universally disregarded but it doesn't seem to be as clear as to whether they are affected by the sound or not. Some say the snakes "stand" solely based on the sight of the snake charmer's movements while others say that the snakes do have internal ears and sensory nerves on their skin which may transduce the sound into stimuli.

There are some sketchy practices involved with the treatment of the snakes by snake charmers which may influence some of the way people view the practice. I don't really know... I had a college roommate that had a snake and it rarely ever just stood there, it usually tried to slither around like the snake at the end when the charmer stopped playing but apparently cobras tend to stand more than other snakes.

There's like anthropomorphism, ethical treatment of animals, and cultural divergence all a factor.
