Music Magic: Lions' Reaction to Guns N' Roses Song Shows the Power of Music on Animal Behavior
A group of lions at a zoo had an interesting reaction to a man playing a Guns N' Roses song on an acoustic guitar. The man, known as Plumes, performed the ballad "November Rain" for the lions, who approached him at the fence and then lay down on the ground and caressed each other. The video of the interaction was shared on social media, with Slash, the guitarist from Guns N' Roses, also acknowledging the performance. Plumes has a history of playing music for various animals, including tigers, elephants, and orangutans, showcasing his care for wildlife. Studies have shown a connection between music and animal behavior, with certain genres like classical music having a calming effect on animals, as observed with lions at a zoo in the U.K. The lions' positive response to music highlights the potential impact of music on animal behavior.
