Most people enjoy listening to live music, and after watching this video shared by French musician @Plumes (Loris Assadian) on TikTok, it seems like animals do too! Plumes travels the world with his pink guitar, singing popular songs for different animals to highlight their emotional sensitivity and help promote animal welfare.<\/p>\n
In a recent video, he visited Zoo Amn\u00e9ville in eastern France to serenade two rhinos. Sitting bravely on a rock inside their enclosure, he began to play and sing. The rhinos, who appeared calm and relaxed, quickly grew curious and started heading his way for a closer look, and they got very close without showing any signs of aggression!<\/p>\n
What an amazing experience! We\u2019d be both excited and terrified to be that close to rhinos, but they seemed genuinely interested in the music. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime moment that Loris<\/a> got to experience firsthand!<\/p>\n Related: Musician\u2019s Global Serenades Turn Fierce Animals Into Music-Loving Fans<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Viewers Leave Thousands of Comments About the Rhinos Listening to Music<\/p>\n Viewers left more than 2,500 comments about Loris’ video, and some of them were worth sharing. @ariahalol cracked us up with, “I remember hearing that rhinos have bad eyesight.
