GoPros and animals are combo that makes us smile

GoPro cameras and animals are a match made in heaven. The company behind these action cams already launched a dedicated dog-harness which lets you mount tiny shooters on top of your doggy, to let you experience the world through its eyes.

But GoPros also seem to pique the interest of wild animals like bald eagles which might have mistaken it for pray. But what happens when you place one of these small shooters in the vicinity of an owl nest? Baby owls come out and play with it, that’s what.

A French GoPro user teased the curiosity of these youngsters and you can see the results below. They are quite taken with the apparatus and inquisitive to see what it is. They look at it, poke at it and circle it for about 4 minutes.

And all the while we can’t stop ourselves going “aww, cuteness overload, just look at how puffy they are.”

In related news, GoPro has just launched two new HERO4 Black and Silver cameras which come with the ability to shoot in 4K (the Black model at 30fps while the Silver one stays at 15fps) plus a simple HERO model, which is an entry-level action cam that sells for $130 / €102.
