This week is all about animals. Sure, cats and puppies have been web video stars for years, but seldom were good for anything more than a one-time hit. But real live animals (not just the animated sort) are making waves (and landing sponsors) as stars of their own web series. This week’s picks, compiled by the Tubefilter News staff, are Rabbit Bites, National Geographic Now and Super Chill Monkey.
This gem from creators Unbuttoned Films follows a day in the life of a working orangutan (*not a monkey) actor in Hollywood, from riding the bus to undressing at an audition, and stopping for grub at his favorite taco stand. While technically they only have one installment of the series up, we would definitely like to see more of this hairy little web star. And with over 600k views from that one episode, a few more would probably be well received.
