The Petting Zoo: Independence Day Edition

12:30 PM EDT on July 3, 2012

Tomorrow, the day we normally watch animal videos together, is Independence Day. Rather than skip a week and miss out on everyone's favorite thing in the whole world, this weekly list of animal videos, I thought it would be fun to find a bunch of America-themed animal videos and get them together for a special Fourth of July edition of The Petting Zoo. It was such a smart idea that I'm not sure how I even thought of it. Then I began looking for America-themed animal videos and, I'm not really sure what I had in mind to begin with, MY GOODNESS! There aren't any good ones! Like, clearly that has not stopped me from getting a few together, because there are some VERY FUNNY ones, and also I already had this idea so it's not like I'm not going to do it, but there is a gap in animal videos on the Internet and I have discovered it today. So, please, if you have any secret hidden wonderful videos of otters with Uncle Sam outfits on or whatever, do share them with the rest of us. Until then, please enjoy these five very perfect Independence Day animal videos that I did manage to find. As a spoiler, they are mostly just animals doing normal things with American flags in the background. HAPPY THIRD OF JULY! THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!
