Move over Keyboard Cat, it's Piano Otter
An Asian small-clawed otter named Dua is tickling the ivories at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (actually, it's more like occasionally slamming his paws on the keys).
I like how she plays to the Bebop beat on the synthesizer. Her music has a '60s coffeehouse vibe going on.

Spokane helps duck mommy get her ducklings to river
Duck mothers must be the stupidest mothers in the animal kingdom. We rarely go a week without reports of ducks trapped in a storm drain here in South Florida (I can't resist shouting out "DUCKS IN A STORM DRAIN! DUCKS IN A STORM DRAIN!" in the newsroom every time we hear a report) and it seems that the ducks in Washington aren't much brighter.
Still, this is a pretty neat tale of how Spokane's people helped prevent the senseless deaths of some baby ducks by helping "Amelia Duckheart" out a bit.

A bull ran through the aisles of a supermarket in Ireland, causing general havoc.
My favorite part of the clip is when the butchers step out and see the bull. You almost expect the bull to turn around and demand, "What happened to my friends?"

Panic, mayhem and carnage at running of the bulls
More idiots attempt to run the bulls in Spain. And the bulls fight back. It’s pandemonium as someone falls over in a packed tunnel, trapping a crowd just as the bulls arrive, flinging bodies around like rag dolls before charging into the street to inflict more mayhem.
Let’s do the math: Angry 1,000-pound aggressive beasts with horns plus dozens of writhing human bodies. Result: More than 60 injuries but, astonishingly, no deaths. Apart from the bulls later on, of course.
Moral: Leave the animals alone, you dummies.

Cat + rabbit = cabbit? rabbat?
Brazil brings us this lovely tale of inter-species love. A cat and a rabbit court each other resulting in some strange looking kitten/bunnies (Kunnies? Buttens?).
Nature shows us yet again that true love trumps all boundaries. Well, OK, maybe not all boundaries, but some. And is it really love? I mean, we're talking about rabbits here. They're not exactly known for being particularly discerning when it comes to mating.
OK, maybe this tale isn't some sort of Romeo and Juliet metaphor, maybe it's just one of nature's freakshows. But I got a kick out of it.

Q: Where are the puppies?
A: San Francisco
Q: How old are they?
They just turned 6 weeks old Tuesday, Nov. 18th.
Q: What are their names?
A: Girls: Autumn (Purple collar), 4 lbs 1.2 oz (all weights as of Nov. 18th)
Ayumi (Yellow collar), 3 lbs 14.6 oz

Q. I'm addicted to live puppy video, is there any hope for me?
A: Probably not, but whatever you do, don't follow the PupDate Twitter feed. http://twitter.com/pupdate It's a total cuteness overload. Much like this blog post.
Check out a few stories about the puppies after the jump.
P.S. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who shared our blog post about the live puppy cam. You guys helped give us some of our biggest numbers yet!

Dog spazzes out
Not sure what this dog's problem is, but its psychotic yapping makes it sound pretty human-like.

Watch this now: Live puppy cam
FOR AN UPDATE ON THE PUPPIES, CLICK HERE!
UPDATE 2: Some of the puppies will be leaving the weekend of Dec 6-7th. For a farewell video, click HERE!
OK, I thought the hippo video I posted was the cutest thing ever. I take that back. Check out this LIVE video feed of Shiba Inu puppies. I'm going to be upset if this turns out to be some sort of viral marketing campaign for dog food.
One of my co-workers said: "I just want to watch this video all day."
To get the video to start, just hit the play symbol. Let the "awwwwws" begin.

When presidential pets attack
First dog Barney apparently wasn't happy to see reporters earlier this week. The Scottish terrier bit Reuters reporter Jon Decker.
Barney looks so docile, but check out the stills at the end of him baring his teeth.

Hamster on a piano
The election is over. No more clips of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. No more McCain-Obama dance-offs. No more of the "It's Raining McCain" ladies. No more Obama Girl.
We must go back to the classy content that has defined Watch This Now.
Now, a hamster eating popcorn on a piano.

Montage of cats flushing toilets
I'm sure you need a break from all the election-related viral videos, so here's a montage of cats flushing toilets.
Be warned though: The song is terribly catchy. Play this video two times in a row and you will not be able to get it out of your head.
This is a classy blog.

Ninja Cat
I'm not a big fan of cute animal videos, but I must admit I enjoy the "Ninja Cat" clip, which is probably the hottest viral video out there after Tina Fey's turn as Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live."

Yodeling cats interviewed
Wichita Eagle (and former Sun-Sentinel) reporter Roy Wenzl interviews YouTube sensations Oscar, Ginger, and Zooey on camera [click here to see the video].
Here's an excerpt from his print article:
Klusman is getting proposals from filmmakers interested in marketing more of his ideas. He and Wingard, who works in the cubicle next to Klusman's at Spirit Aerosystems, are getting proposals from cat-loving ladies worldwide."OMG will you marry me?" one wrote.
"Paul is the George Clooney of engineers," another wrote.
Others sent "extremely interesting" photographs of themselves, Klusman said.
Meow.

The Birds
This silent footage of a massive flock of birds is fascinating and frankly, a little creepy.
I wonder where a flock this size lands. Knowing my luck, it would be right above my car.

Monkey on live TV
It was cute when Johnny Carson used to have animals on his show. Now it's just a tired bit occasionally trotted out by morning news and late night TV.
Monkey, free yourself from your oppressor! You do not need to listen to him answer any more questions about cat vomit.

Conchita
OK, there's no other purpose to this than it being cute. And it's environmentally conscious. And you need to quit spending so much time in your cubicle and get out and see the world.
And I hate cat videos, but felt the need to post something cute after a long drought:

I'm sorry, I just would not be cool if my waiter was a monkey.
I'd hate to see how he'd react to a bad tip.

Girl harasses dolphins
A bit of aquarium etiquette: Do not use a plastic bag to taunt the dolphins!
If I were a dolphin and I saw this girl trying to swim with me, I'd just smack her with my tail.

Dog wants up the slide
Life is like this sometimes. You try really, really hard to do something, only to have someone stand 20 feet away, laughing and videotaping the whole thing.
It is kinda funny, though.

Oscar, the featherless bird
People can't get enough of Oscar, the featherless bird. Here's an excerpt from an article Robert Nolin wrote on the little lady last week:
Polly want a feather?Actually a full coat of feathers would be more fitting for Oscar, the naked cockatoo that so resembles a grocery store chicken one would be tempted to baste it and pop it in the oven.
If it wasn't so darn unsightly.
The oversized bird's flesh is saggy and wrinkly and the color of a purple bruise. An Einstein-like halo of scraggly feathers adorns — to use the term lightly — its head.
"She's being categorized as the world's ugliest bird right now," says Cherie Wachter, marketing director for the Humane Society of Broward County, where Oscar has lived for 12 years. "She's actually been an Internet sensation."

Cat plays instrument, drives dogs insane
Our partners-in-blog at the Orlando Sentinel's "What the Blog?" posted this clip of a cat playing an electronic instrument called a theremin. Check the clip out here.
I don't know if you can classify what this is as music. I think it's about the most annoying sound I've heard. But I guarantee since it's on YouTube and involves a cat, this clip will have 3 million hits by tomorrow.
