When These Cute Otters Get Hungry, Their Reaction Is Priceless
These are the adorable small clawed otters from the Birmingham Wildlife Park in England. When it's food time, they try to pass the time by playing with stones. Watch what happens when a keeper walks past with some food. The reaction is just priceless, jumping up and down the glass in anticipation!
Otters are often observed playing and juggling with stones and pebbles, both in the wild and in ZOOs. There are several videos of their unique <a href="https://rumble.com/viral/v1199524-cute-otter-juggles-stone.html" target="_blank">juggling</a> technique that you can watch online. These adorable expert swimmers have been seen juggling one, two, even three rocks at the same time!
Yet the question as to why they do it, its purpose and gain from it remains unanswered. A theory goes around that it has something to do with their eating behavior, since <a href="https://rumble.com/v31hr1-otterly-amazing-otter-with-great-ball-control.html" target="_blank">otters</a> can also often be seen using rocks to smash shells so that they reveal the delicious meat inside. There also have been instances of otters defending their ‘tools’ from other otters.
Asian small-clawed otters are the smallest extant otter species. They range in coastal regions from southern India to Southeast Asia including the islands of Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Palawan.
Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park is home to a unique collection of animals from across the world, including Red Pandas, lemurs, reptiles, meerkats, otters, birds, wallabies and a large collection of monkeys.

Intelligent orangutan flosses with rubber band
Sprout has clearly heard about the importance of dental hygiene as she tries her hand at flossing with a rubber band. She seems to be having a lot of fun playing with the band, by pulling at it with her teeth and twisting it around her little finger. Whilst there are playful similarities to a human child, getting kids to floss is not so easy.
Dudley Zoological Gardens is a 40-acre zoo located within the grounds of Dudley Castle in the town of Dudley, in the Black Country region of the West Midlands, England. In the past couple of years more and more has been done to improve the zoo with some great new enclosures.

This Conceited Penguin Is Obsessed With His Own Reflection
This penguin from the Colchester Zoo in England seems to be in love with his own reflection. See how he walks back and forth looking at his face in the mirror with utter curiosity. He even tries to talk to it and shares kisses. Meet Narcissus the penguin.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter who was known for his beauty. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. When Narcissus came to a pool where he saw his own reflection in the water, he instantly fell in love with himself, not realizing that it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus lost his will to live and stared at his reflection until he died. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance or public perception.
The same applies for Narcissus the penguin who is deeply obsessed with his own reflection in the mirror, ignoring everything that is going on around him.
First he walks up and down the mirror, gazing at his own reflection and trying to outrun it. Then he stops and stares at it, and finally tries to make a conversation. He flaunts with his appearance by raising his neck and making loud noises. He is so full of himself, the real king of the zoo.
Have you ever fell in love with your own <a href="https://rumble.com/v31638-parrot-checking-himself-out-and-liking-what-he-sees-.html" target="_blank">reflection</a> when walking in front of a mirror?

Tidy Orangutan Mother Puts Toys Away
The Twycross Zoo is having an enrichment day for the animals by throwing lots of colorful balls and some boxes into the enclosure. The <a href="https://rumble.com/v3gzsj-curious-orangutan-interacts-with-burn-victim.html" target="_blank">orangutan</a> mom with her newborn baby in her arms decides it looks all a bit messy and, in classic mom fashion, she begins to tidy up after her offspring. She starts cleaning up by putting all the balls back into the box. Still with her newborn in her arms, she then carries the boxes with the balls in her mouth all the way up to the top of her climbing frame. She only drops one red ball! What a champ!
Just how cute is this video? And we can all relate to the way mom takes care of the mess her baby made! It's just adorable! It's yet another proof that motherhood is the same with all the species out there, and an example that moms always have our backs - you won't find a better playmate or best friend out there, and this little baby surely knows this very well!
Now for some background info: orangutans are among the most intelligent primates; they use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. The apes have been extensively studied for their learning abilities. There may even be distinctive cultures within populations. Field studies of the apes were pioneered by primatologist Birutė Galdikas. All three orangutan species are considered to be critically endangered. Human activities have caused severe declines in populations and ranges. Threats to wild orangutan populations include poaching, habitat destruction, and the illegal pet trade. Several conservation and rehabilitation organisations are dedicated to the survival of orangutans in the wild. (source: Wikipedia)

White lioness shocked by male lion's advance
It seems that even the animal kingdom cannot escape unwanted advances by males! In this hilarious clip, a funny moment at the zoo is captured on camera as a gorgeous white lioness brushes against a sleeping male. When he wakes up and puts his paw around her in a loving gesture, only to have her jump back in surprise. The other female lioness then comes over to investigate what all the fuss is about! Talk about hilarious! This is one memorable clip that you will surely not want to miss!
Hey, you cannot blame the male lion for trying, right? Sure the female lioness was startled at first but maybe if the male lion gave it another shot, he could find his soul mate! If she ends up rejecting him again, well there is plenty of other fish in the sea or in this case lions in the wild! Hopefully this male lion does not feel too discouraged after this event.
Aside from the fact that these lions are hilarious, aren't they just adorable as well? You almost just want to pick one up and take it home with you, but as well all know, that would be a bad idea. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Toys-Games-Stuffed-Animals-Plush/zgbs/toys-and-games/166461011?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=rumble07-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=8a66729758228e3760a9f2c55549f506&camp=1789&creative=9325">Animal plush's</a> could always be purchased if you ever wanted to have the next best thing!

Armadillo - Who's The Daddy!
These are the yellow armadillo also known as the six-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) from the Bristol Zoo in England.
These two are enjoying a quick mating session.
They do make me laugh as well, as I keep thinking of the chocolate bar advert with Harry Enfield : "smooth on the inside crunchy on the outside, ARMADILLOS!!"

Unusual friendship between orangutan father and daughter
There's nothing like the bond between a father and his daughter. Well for humans at least. As they grow up, daddy's little girl slowly develops into the woman that she was destined to be. A wave of pride washes over the father once he realizes that she isn't the little girl she used to be anymore, and that she is ready to take on the world all on her own. Is it the same for orangutans?
Normally you would think Orangutan males are solitary, but not this one. Father and daughter Molly are quite inseparable. The young orangutan is always playing and annoying her dad by pulling his hair or swinging into him. You would think dad just puts up with his mischievous daughter, but they do spent a lot of time together!
For all you dads out there, doesn't this just make you want to spend some time with your little girl? Let us know in the comments! Be sure to stop by https://rumble.com/ for more awesome videos like this one, and feel free to upload any of your own videos.

Gibbon father's heartwarming playtime with daughter
No matter what they do, the gibbons always make the visitors at this zoo smile. Dad seems to be in a playful mood and starts to wrestle with his daughter, Meo. Too cute!
White-cheeked gibbons differ from the great apes by being monogamous for life, with the female taking the majority of the parental care. Young gibbons have not been observed to play regularly, possibly due to the small social groups, but this dad has really taken to care for his daughter, so much so that he is making sure that she has the proper childhood!
There’s a declining trend with the population of gibbons in the wild, accounting over 80% in the last 45 years, which classifies them as endangered by the IUCN. Due to deforestation and poaching, their numbers are seriously declining in their native Laos, Vietnam and Southern China.
