Before we get started, let me admit—when it comes to animal videos, it’s hard not to feel like every one I see is the best. There’s something about how animals capture our attention, whether through charm, curiosity, or sheer unpredictability.
That said, the internet is chock-full of animal content, and while every video has something special, not all can claim the title of “greatest.” Some stand out for their humor, others for their heartwarming moments, and a few for showcasing the wild, unfiltered side of nature.
Here’s a collection of some of the most memorable animal videos out there (or at least to me).
1.) Turtle eats a strawberry
The title of this one speaks for itself.
2.) A baby elephant munches on his own trunk
I know it’s probably hard to control, but come on, dude!
3.) All aboard the puppy express
Watch this man take his pups to the dog park on a custom train.
4.) Raccoons drink some milk
Who knew something so simple could be so cute!
5.) Dog tries a lemon for the first time and it…. doesn’t go well
Who could blame him?
6.) Baby bear meets a baby deer
I didn’t know that this was a combo that I really needed to see.
7.) Dog pops 54 balloons in 3.3 seconds
Pretty self explanatory.
8.) Puppy attack!!!
There is no way to defend against this kind of attack.
9.) Tortoise Halloween Munch
Tortoises…eating pumpkins… need I say more?
10.) Golden Retriever discovers the puppy cam
Who’s watching me….
11.) Hawk attempts to eat a kitten
Thank goodness the glass was in the way!
12.) German Shepherd meets the new kitten
If this doesn’t melt your heart, then nothing will.
13.) Two-Week Old Kitten Roars
An oldie, but a goodie.
14.) Dog wakes up from a nightmare
What do you think his nightmare was? Do you think the squirrel was chasing him?
15.) An elephant sprays water on a lion
Even elephants know how to exert dominance by spraying a cat with water.
16.) Koala climbs the cameraman
This tree smells funny….
17.) Bald eagle catches salmon

Forget the vet. This bird needs an exorcist.
19.) Daddys Home!
When I get home, my bird stares at me like I owe him money.
20.) The insane strength of a Silverback Gorilla
Could you imagine how strong a gorilla would be if they discovered they could get stronger from working out?
21.) Driving to the banana store
At this point, I’m convinced they don’t talk just because they don’t want to pay taxes.
22.) Red Pandas play in the snow
When a red panda stands up with their paws in the air, they’re trying to appear threatening; for obvious reasons, it doesn’t work.
23.) Tortoise vs. Hare – Who Wins?
These live-action adaptations are getting better and better.

Leave my human alone!!
31.) Great white shark swims into cage
32.) A raccoon loses his grapes
First time I’d seen a raccoon, the victim of a robbery rather than the perpetrator.
