These Animals Chasing Laser Pointers Will Make You Feel Soooo Smart

Guess again, dummies. That's a laser pointer.

Cats, we know, love the thrill of a hunt -- even if it's in pursuit of a two-dimensional speck. But, did you know that controlling a laser pointer can make you master of the entire animal kingdom, too?

Yes, as it turns out, a great many creatures are subject to the alluring powers of the little red dot. We're not entirely sure why -- maybe the dot's movement indicates life, or its brightness suggests an extra tasty snack -- like a weird bug, maybe. Either way, here's proof it's not just a feline thing after all.

Yep, that's a guy chasing a green dot on a deserted street. You may have to squint to observe this stunning display of wit.

Uh oh.
