Animals Drying Off in Slow Motion Will Mesmerize You

It's the number one rule of animal kingdom hair care: shake it off for that fluffy, shiny coat. No hairdryers needed.

And while we've all seen how dogs can go from wet 'n' wild to bone dry in a few seconds, we bet you never knew that they can shake 5.37 times per second. And every animal, from hedgehog to rat, has a different shake-to-dry ratio. (By comparison, humans average two shakes per second.)

EarthUnpluggedTV filmed these mammals to discover just how many shakes it takes to get their dry-off routine just right. And if you thought watching a dog shake it off was cute normally, just wait until it's in slow motion.
