Must-see videos of the week: October 4

From a baby who is serenaded to sleep by a Canadian classic, to cheerleaders who show off their skills even on their day off, there are plenty of can’t miss videos this week. If you’re ready to check out everything ranging from super cute to XTREME, then keep reading…

You have to admit, baby Ada’s father does a pretty solid version of the Leonard Cohen classic “Hallelujah.” I mean, I got a little sleepy listening to him sing as well, which I must admit is the same reaction I get when I hear the real Canadian crooner sing, too. (Nothing personal Leonard! You just have a soothing voice!)

Introducing the latest and greatest in pachyderm maintenance technology, the self-cleaning elephant! This elephant at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas was getting brushed by a zoo keeper and decided to get those tough spots between the ears himself. Fort Worth Zoo welcomed two elephant calves this summer; perhaps this adult elephant will pass along the brushing skills to the newbies.

Cleanup in aisle adorable: Someone is clearly having a bit of fun with their pet chinchillas and a miniature shopping cart, and the results are quite cute. The chinchilla is a rodent native to South America, bathing in dust to help absorb the dirt and oils that get in their soft coats. They aren’t generally known for their savvy shopping skills, however, so if you’re sending your pet chinchilla shopping, you may need to help it clip coupons.

The people at Ohio Dreams, an ‘action sports camp’ in Butler, Ohio, put together this video to show off their epic slip n’ slide (or “slip n’ fly” as they call it) and, as far as I can tell, make you wish that you’d gone to Ohio this summer. It’s actually a ramp designed to help skiers learn the skills needed for freestyle skiing, but also makes a great way to get in the pool when you’re just using it as a slide, too.

Being a cheerleader at the top of your sport takes a lot of hard work and skill, and that’s extremely evident in this video taken at this year’s StuntFest. Following the NCA College Nationals cheerleading competition, the men and women take some time to relax and celebrate their sport with fellow cheerleaders at the day-long StuntFest, the unofficial post-competition event.
