It raises all sorts of questions about where humanity ends and fauna begins.

That's awesome! Go, Snowball, go! 
You'll never hear me say that I think humans are necessarily inherently smarter than animals. Humans are just better at exploiting their fellow living things. And at making moral judgments, then doing the Wrong Thing anyway.
But on a less serious note, watching that little fella dance has made my morning!

I can't off the top of my head think of any animal (apart from humans, and Snowball here) who's got into music and danced, outside of a mating ritual, or with some grubby Eastern European electrifying a floor or somesuch.
Apart from the obvious Animals Do The Funniest Things value, I'm curious how much non-essential instinctual behaviour happens out there.
