These creatures are surprisingly talented musicians, should start a band

Folks at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in the United States have recently introduced a group of Asian small-clawed otters to a keyboard, and the cute creatures have almost immediately taken a liking to it and started playing.

A shot clip with the Asian small-clawed otters showing off their skills when it comes to making music is available below, and I for one have to admit that I liked it so much I watched it twice.

Fair warning: you might want to do the same, so I suggest you check to see that there are no urgent matters that you need to tend to before hitting the “play” button.

I am no music expert, but, from where I stand, I dare say that these little guys would be quite successful, should they decide to start a band.

In fact, I believe that they would make a way better band than Singular Orientation, or whatever that boy group everybody seems to be obsessing about these days is called.

In case anyone was wondering, the otters have been introduced to the keyboard as part of the Smithsonian's National Zoo #ZooEnrichment initiative. The goal is to offer the animals an experience that would engage their sight, touch, and hearing senses at the same time.
