It is said that having a pet can extend your longevity, reducing stress and making us happier.  Not all of us are able to have a pet, let alone aquatic animals or even a gorilla, but live-streams just may do the trick for you. The New York Times has collated a list of the Best Animal Livestreams that we will share with you!

Here are just a few!
