uhhh I don't really know, actually. I think it depends on the person and the type of animal. Sometimes it's just nice to look at small animals who are just existing in the world. All of us have lots of different emotions and thoughts and feelings, and it's hard to focus them all into something calming but I guess animal videos or watching animals, in general, can bring that sense of calm. I mean, of course, I'm only speaking from my experience. It could be different for others, so don't think what I'm saying is universal by any means.
