@Johnny Cat… great link! I wish my dog could do that. She’s great at catching her mini tennis ball, but if you throw a treat or any kind of food at her, she’ll let it hit her in the face. She’s such a strange dog.

Goats also make their mouths into a pseudo-straw for drinking. And it sounds hilarious while they’re drinking then.

From the look of the area around my cat’s water bowl, you would assume she puts her face into her water and blows!

What’s incredibly to me is how much they slowed down that hummingbird video. You can actually count the wing beats! That feeding was probably only a few seconds. Amazing.

I thought it was interesting/neat that the cat seems to lap at the water 3 times before pausing to swallow…really cool videos…Thanks!

Wow. Now I know that cats backwash a lot…I’m gonna keep a closer eye on my glass of water from now on.

I remember from The Yearling (I think) that deer roll their tongues and drink through them like a straw. I was fascinated with that as a kid and would try it all the time (not very practical, really :) )
I’ve never seen footage of this…it might be cool.

Chris, you’d love this ad featuring 1000 fps shots of dogs anticipating and receiving treats.
