There are several stories written about music taming the savage beast, but this is no fairy tale<\/a>. A video shows a small pride of lions in an enclosure hear the acoustic guitar and soothing singing of a French singer-songwriter covering Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019<\/a> \u201cNovember Rain.\u201d One would think that the animals<\/a> would be annoyed or ignore the music period. Instead, something heartwarming happened.<\/p>\n

One by one, the lions approached the musician known as Plumes<\/a> as he performed. They calmly laid down and started yawn-singing to the tunes while nuzzling one another, with two lions cuddling less than a yard from where Plumes sat and played. The lions were relaxing and enjoying the concert along with their afternoon nap, showing off the gentler side of the predatory wild cats.<\/p>\n

People remarked upon the lion\u2019s reaction to Plumes\u2019 tunes:<\/p>\n

\u201cWow! That is truly an incredible interaction with them. They really enjoyed your singing to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOmg, the way they cuddle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a beautiful interaction to witness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic is the universal language!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was so magical! Music speaks to the soul. Human, animal, all relate to the feelings music evokes.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the only time Plumes has performed for an animal audience. In fact, his social media and YouTube channel<\/a> show videos of multiple concerts for humans and creatures alike. He not only has played his guitar and sang for lions, but for tigers and bears (oh my!) among many other animals at wildlife refuges, enclosures, and zoos. <\/p>\n

While Plumes performs his music for a wide variety of animals today, he started at home, playing for a herd of cows in the French countryside while living with his grandmother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI read somewhere that cows like music, that it\u2019s soothing to them,\u201d Plumes shared with AMFM Magazine<\/a>. \u201cThey were super receptive. They gathered around, some even rubbed against me. It was magical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, Plumes had been taking the opportunity to warm up his vocal chords and provide various animals a free mini-concert throughout his tours and travels, recording video of their reactions to his music.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnimals inspire me to be kinder, more patient,\u201d he added. \u201cThey remind us to reconnect with nature. Maybe we\u2019ve lost touch with nature, and these videos help people feel that connection again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Understandably, most people believe music and music appreciation are uniquely human traits, but there are studies that music isn\u2019t exclusively for homosapiens\u2019 enjoyment. Some studies show different species reacting positively<\/a> to music in different ways. Chimpanzees sway to music, dogs tend to show calmer behaviors when listening to classical music, and sea lions synchronize their head movements to a song\u2019s beat, just to name a few. There are veterinarians that suggest creating a music playlist for your dog<\/a> to play when leaving the house so it helps reduce their separation anxiety.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting to see how music impacts different animals in different ways, especially if music helps them. Over time, who knows how much music will bring man and animal closer together. If a lion can enjoy Guns N\u2019 Roses, the possibilities are nearly endless.<\/p>\n
