Video Script:: 

if you love animals you probably wish that they all love you too or at least not be grumpy and aggressive when you encounter some of them thankfully even some of the largest most unexpected creatures can love peace just as much as you do some of these animals are so loving they form some of the most unexpected relationships to dangerous species in the wild get ready to meet the 10 most peaceful animals on the planet capybara [Music] meet the giant rodent who gets on with everyone in the animal kingdom the capybara is not only the world's largest rodent but also appears to be the friendliest animal on earth images that copy barra peacefully interacting with just about every other animal on the planet have taken the internet by storm and it's easy to see why this 145 pound creature has made friends with kittens ducklings dogs humans monkeys and even a crocodile their gentle nature means they even can be kept as house pets so long as they have access to a sizable pool grass to graze on and friends to keep them company in short it's a wonder Disney hasn't yet cast this delightful creature as the star of their next animated film perhaps one day it will basking shark [Music] the term shark and friendly don't seem like they go together but you don't have to worry about a bite by the basking shark although they grow to be up to 26 feet and their mouths can open up to 3 feet wide these large fish pose no harm to humans whatsoever as frightening as they may look shark attacks are so rare you're statistically more likely to be killed by a vending machine toppling over onto you even so this toothless shark is one of the most harmless and friendliest creatures to swim around with they move extremely slowly and do not approach human boats as other sharks might their die consists mostly of invertebrates and zooplankton that get filtered into their mouths as they move around so you can pretty much forget a bite from this shark sloths [Music] by many sloths are simply seen as lazy animals but rather their slow quiet passive and peace-loving animals that dwell in trees and avoid making trouble these Gentle Souls only eat leaves and try their best to stay out of predators ways because of their slow-moving nature sloths took their name from a word that means extremely zenus but this isn't quite fair their economy of movement complete silence and tree dwelling is just their own way of avoiding predators in keeping the peace sloths are endemic to the rainforests of Central and South America and most closely related to the anteater their main predators are man anacondas Pumas and Jaguars but as slow as they are they try to keep away from them and live as peaceful a life as possible Great Dane [Music] we all know dogs to be the human loving creatures they are or we wouldn't have taken so many of them into our homes but it's still a surprise to discover that one of the largest most intimidating breeds is also one of the most peaceful by far Great Danes are true people pleasers who make friends easily and are very patient with kids as tall as 32 inches at the shoulder Danes tower over most other dogs and when standing on their hind legs they are taller than most people perhaps it's peaceful nature is due to the fact that these gentle giants have no need to bark or show off just the sight of these gentle giants is usually enough to make intruders think twice manatee you really don't get much more peaceful than the manatee despite weighing as much as a ton these herbivores are very slow and one of the safest marine life forms a human can swim with manatees are the gentle giants of the sea spending their days mostly sleeping and eating nothing but plants they are highly social and even use hugging and kissing body language to greet and communicate with each other even though they get up to 13 feet long and weigh up to 1,300 pounds these peaceful sea giants have no prey and bring no harm to any other creatures this is perhaps wine West African tradition manatees are considered sacred and killing one is met with severe consequences Persian cat although they're adorable grumpy snouts make them look like they're having a bad day Persian cats are the epitome of tranquillity they exude an aura of peacefulness with their calm passive somewhat lazy personality quiet and laid-back this cat breed can even be fearful to the point of hiding around strangers but is generally adaptable and able to tolerate a variety of environments unlike many cats Persians are rarely territorial and tend to be easygoing with kids and other cats a loud party is something they will avoid not so much because of fear but due to annoyance Persian cats do best in a peaceful home with a quiet daily routine and tend to dislike loud music or too much noise it is now time for today's subscriber pic we asked our subscribers to send in their pictures for their friendliest animals in today's thumbnail pic was sent to us by a subscriber wondering about this incredible picture of a fisherman petting a massive shark so we looked into it and it turns out that some sharks do in fact enjoy a belly rub once in a while just like your pet dog would but the words friendly and peaceful aren't quite the best way to describe these massive predators yes we've seen this kind of shark behavior on rare occasions but we still advise not to try and pet one blue whales [Applause] [Music] whales are the ocean's largest inhabitants but don't kill any larger or more intelligent life-forms a blue whale's heart is the size of a car their tongue the size of an elephant and some of its blood vessels are wide enough for a human to swim through yet despite their size these gentle giants dominate peacefully while maintaining their environment in a sustainable way they feed almost exclusively on the small Skrill which are only an inch long it kind of makes you wonder how they got so big when their prey is so teeny-tiny well for starters they don't have any teeth to chew meat and their throat is about the width of your hand making these 100-foot giants some of the harmless creatures on the planet sheep this list of most peaceful wouldn't be complete without sheep sheep are known for their meek gentle nature they are nonviolent animals that thrive in peace and love sheeps nature is so docile it's even seen in a negative light using them as a metaphor to represent someone as stupid or easily misled but in a more positive sense sheep are gentle and peaceful in Christianity Scriptures the figure of Jesus is often called the Lamb of God both for his message of peace and ultimately is purposed as a sacrificial figure which is central to the religions beliefs scriptures and characters aside who wouldn't feel utter tranquility at the sight of a sleeping lamp it's no wonder those of us who have trouble sleeping choose to count sheep backwards and not spiders point us Herot beautiful and soft-spoken point is parrots have gained a reputation for being some of the most gentle pet birds point--is parrots are also widely reported to be one of the quietest types of parrot species especially for their size they enjoy interacting with the human family members playing games and amusing themselves with plenty of bird toys many owners have reported that they have easygoing gentle personalities and are far too laid-back for your average parrot while they are highly intelligent and thrive in social settings they tend to be more independent than some other species this is probably what makes them a little less moody than parrot
