Animal party

The Marula trees (Sclerocarya birrea) are from the Southern part of Africa and are also called Elephant tree or the Marriage Tree.
They produce very juicy fruits that contain large amounts of alcohol, being the most important ingredient for the Amarula cream liqueur. But not just for humans: due to the water shortage in the summertime the animals go to the trees as soon as the fruits are ripe and... they have a real party!

See the video - a French documentary about Africa:

Cog - Honda Accord commercial

The 2 minute commercial, entitled "cog", uses over 85 individual parts of the Honda Accord which precisely and intricately "knock on to" and interact with one another to form a complex chain reaction which lasts until the car is finally revealed.
It was produced without the use of computer or digital tricks, done in real time exactly as shown. The recording required 606 attempts.
In the first 605 attempts was always something minor that didn't work out. The team spent weeks recording, day and night, and they were almost giving up but the mutual support kept them together.
The recording cost 6 million dollars and took 3 months to finish, including engineering planning to complete a single sequence. This commercial won CLIO Awards, 2004 (Gold) for Automotive

Animals can laugh

Scientists listened to animals playing and they noticed something that appeared to them to be laughter. They studied this behavior for couple of years before acturally realizing that it is laughter.

Soon they got a device which transformed higher frequency sounds to frequencies our auditory system can hear.
So they developed a way to ask these rats if they liked being tickled and the answer was definite yes!

From Dr. Jaak Panksepp - scientist from Bowling Green State University:

Canned food, please!

His owner says that since he was a kitten he asks for canned food in this way. Sure, he knows what he wants!
