A bad day at work bugging you? Fear not – Meg the dog and her new friend, a baby bunny, have your fix.
But while you go ‘awww’ watching both of them share a cute moment, it is quite interesting to note that there are several benefits of watching cute animal videos.
The greatest of them all is stress relief. Studies have shown that our pleasure centres light up and you get a dopamine boost while watching such videos. So in many ways, watching cute animal videos is helping your brain heal and relieving it of stress.
They are also great mood lifters. Research has shown that these videos have the capability to induce positive effect on the brain which helps uplift the mood. The cuteness of the video, coupled with the power of videos as a medium which is proven to have a greater effect on the brain than most other mediums, can do wonders in brightening up your mood.
