Did anyone else have a blinding moment of loveyness when you realized that the anteater was asleep?

@27, I know, it just slayed me. The voiceover excitedly noted the drool, and even zoomed in…

Cutest. Disqualification. Ever.

OMG This is so amazing! The Japanese are so awesome! America is so boring… Watching this is way better than something like “The Bachelor”!

So, um, Ed……. that logic is like just ’cause a tiger scares a little critter for a reason (to catch and eat) that it’s ok for me to chase it scared for fun? I’m with carrot. I think the more natural things are the more lovely they can be. But that’s just who I am.

[...wow, um, that came out a lot more double-entendresque than I meant it to. - Ed.]

Hmmmm….can’t help but feel sorry for those poor little creatures I luuurve cuteoverload but this…..nope, I’d rather see these cuties in their natural habitat than in a white box surrounded by frightening noises and strange objects

[Natural predators are probably kind of frightening. Just a guess. - Ed.]

@kibblenibble, I definitely heard “Congradrations” in there. And I also heard something that sounded like “Not happening”. Around 0:45 when they took the anteater away for his nap.

Notice, except for the oblivious tortoise, and "too tired for this" anteater, all the animals promptly set about exploring their environment. Only the armadillo did so without poking at the dominoes.

The anteater isn’t saying “ZZZ” something more along the lines of “WTF”

The Japanese consider it cool to use English words. A lot of English words are transformed into Japanese using the katakana syllabary. There are T-shirts all over Tokyo with weird English words on them, just like we have T-shirts with Japanese and Chinese characters on them that probably don’t make any sense.
