Alright, with everything that’s been going on with Pleo in the last week, it’s high time for a disgustingly cute Pleo video. And we’ve got one for you… Here’s Pleo exploring Sea World; make sure to stick around until at least two minutes in:
This particular Pleo is named Pixie, and it seems like she’s something of an ambassador. Her humans take her around to places like Sea World where apparently she becomes a bigger attraction than the “real” animals, even for the animals themselves:
“One of the trainers slapped the window and once a dolphin came over she pointed to Pleo a few times. Once the dolphin indicated it saw it and came down to Pleo’s level, she blew her whistle. They can hear the whistle through the thick glass. And blowing the whistle told the dolphin, “Yes, that is what I wanted you to do! Good job!” From that point on, it was ALL the dolphins. They were not asked or told to stay around, wave their flippers/tail, open their mouths, etc. They stayed around because they wanted to.”
Say it with me now: “awwwwww!!!”
