Going to the zoo is always a mix of excitement and... mild disappointment. You show up, ready to see lions roaring, monkeys swinging from vines, and penguins waddling in formation like a parade. But nine times out of ten, the lions are napping in the far back corner, the monkeys are mysteriously MIA, and the penguins have decided today's the perfect day to stay as far away as possible from the naked hooman eye. It's a humbling experience, really. You find yourself staring at an empty enclosure while whispering, "Are there even animals in this one?"
But every now and then, something incredible happens—like in this video. A man shows up with his guitar and starts serenading the animals. And instead of doing their usual thing (a.k.a. nothing), the animals actually respond in the most wholesome way. If you've ever wondered what it would take to grab a zoo animal's attention, turns out it's not snacks. It's music. Check out the video and see their adorable reactions for yourself.
