The video below is a repost via [CBSN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJlT%5FkyFRok). So, penguins are not about the singing, it seems. [Mountain lions don’t like it either.](http://www.schmopera.com/see-you-do-need-opera-to-survive/) But not all wildlife is averse to the human voice. This parrot, for example, sings Mozart: And though it’s not singing, these elephants sure like to sway to the dulcet tones of the violin: And cows? Cows love music. They seem particularly happy about [brass instruments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs%5F-emj1qR4), and these French cows are all about jazz: Dogs not only love singing, they love joining in. This German shepherd has some pretty decent chops, actually: There’s also the little Yorkie who loves *La traviata*… And like many of you, readers, this dog *will* cancel his nap plans if there’s opera involved: *By Jenna Douglas.
