An Otter Stacking Cups [VIDEO]

I have shared a lot of cute animal videos with the Big Frog 104 listeners over the years, and this one is super cute and super impressive. Here is an otter stacking cups! Yes, it's cute, but it also shows just how smart otters are. The best part about this video is near the end when the two otters hold "hands." Enjoy.

Why Fly When You Can Take the Subway? [VIDEO]

When I'm driving, it always amazes me that birds will walk across the street instead of fly. The birds, especially pigeons, will wait until the last minute and walk out of the way of a moving vehicle. Why don't they just fly out of the way? Here is an example of a bird that seemingly just doesn't want to fly as a form of transportation. The pigeon decides to take the subway instead. In the video,

Pool Party Crasher–Elephant Edition [VIDEO]

Has this ever happened to you? You're hanging out in the pool, and all of a sudden, an elephant starts to drink the water in the pool. It seems like only in a dream could this happen. Well, it did happen in real life. Check out this video. People are in a pool and an elephant appears. The elephant starts to drink the water in the pool, stares awkwardly at the people in the pool and leaves. Unbelie

Cat Responds to Person Playing Guitar

This is a really, really cute video. A person is playing a guitar, and the cat is responding after a cord or two. The cat is responding with a little squeak noise. I used to love when my cat made this noise. It's not a full meow, just a tiny, tiny squeak. My cat used to make this squeak sound when he was looking out the window at birds. Check out this video. It has everything a cute animal video s

Hey, Squirrel, It’s a BIRD Feeder! [PHOTOS]

Let me first start out by saying, I love animals. Yes, even squirrels. They're really cute, right? Anyway, with that being said, it seems every time I put birdseed in the bird feeder, the squirrels think it's their personal buffet. Am I mad? No, not at all. I just hope they leave a few seeds for the birds! Check out the acrobatics this squirrel is doing to get a meal. One time, I filled that bird

Inside Easton Corbin’s Tour Bus [VIDEO]

He was one of our Frogfest headliners this year at the 2012 Wild West Frogfest and Rodeo, and we now have a peek inside his tour bus. Although I'm not sure of the orginal air date of the show, Easton Corbin was interviewed for the Travel Channel's "Tricked Out Trailers" show. We get a first-hand look at how Easton and his bandmates live while on the road. It's pretty interesting to see j

Dramatic Reading of a Yelp Review [VIDEO]

Yelp.com is a website where people can review restaurants, theaters, shops and various other places and things. You give a star review (based on a 5 star rating system), then, you can write an actual review of the facility. Now, like any place where people can write reviews, some are good and some are bad. In this video, the actor is dramatically reading a 1-star review. I thought it was pr

Dogs Hit Jackpot with Ice Machine [VIDEO]

I know a dog that loves ice cubes. If an ice cube drops on the floor from the freezer, the dog is right there to eat it up. Do you have a dog or know a dog like this? If you do, you know how much fun these pooches would have if they could use an ice machine built into the front of a refrigerator door. It's like these dogs in the video. They have figured out how to operate the refrigerator ice mach

Rescuing Bear Cubs from a Dumpster with a Ladder [VIDEO]

I don't want to spoil the video too much for you by telling you all the details. But, the people in this video was really smart. A mother bear had lost her cubs in a dumpster. Not able to get them out, a person uses a ladder in a very smart way to get them out. Also, the people in the video used a truck to help with the rescue--extremely smart move as the mother bear probably wouldn't have been to

How Impatient is Your Cat? [VIDEO]

So, how impatient is your cat? Here is a video of a cat that is really, really impatient. Well, you can't blame the cat; it is feeding time and the cat is probably really, really hungry. When it was time for my cat to eat, he would meow so loud and when you were about to put the bowl of food down on the floor for him, he would nearly knock it out of your hand. Just like the cat in this video. Chec
