I thought my box turtles were escape artists, but some of the critters in this video put them in the shade. How do they squeeze through openings that are obviously too small for them? Inquiring minds want to know!

When You’re Up a Tree, Climb Down
Hah! Easier said than done! How many cats have you seen strand themselves up a tree? Our cat Henry used to get way, way up there–it gave me the horrors. But he was always able to get back down.
Let’s see if the cat in this video can do it.
Hidden Humans
I used to play hide-and-seek with our family dog, Rags. He never got tired of it. Our cat Henry liked to hide on me and jump out and bite my ankle when I passed. Dogs and cats appreciate fun!
Dogs Who Think They’re Pinballs
It’s zoomies, it’s joie de vivre! (That’s French for “zoomies.”) It’s times like these that suggest it might be fun to be a dog. I wonder what would happen if I tried a few minutes of this.

Cats don’t know if they’ll have paper bags in heaven; so when they get a chance, here on earth, to go to town on paper bags–well, as you can see, they don’t waste the opportunity.
The Leaf-Diving Dog
Her name is Stella, and she has developed diving into piles of dead leaves into a fine art. If they ever make it an Olympic sport, she’s already won the gold.
How many of us dive into big piles of dead leaves?
How to Confuse a Fox
There used to be a couple of deer in my neighborhood who stopped and listened if you whistled a tune for them. But I don’t think this fox can quite decide how he ought to respond to banjo music. Maybe he ought to talk to our deer.
Animals in Crazy Places
Dogs up on top of the roof–how did they get there? Wild turkey raising cain in the living room–who let him in? And of course the cat in the lizard tank: note the lizard trying to keep his cool. Enjoy these odd videos!
Shoe Thief!
Our cat Robbie, when she was a kitten, liked to carry slippers around the living room. Here’s a cat who takes that a giant step farther. Eighty shoes! What does anybody need with eighty shoes? I’d love to understand this cat’s thinking.
Baby Elephant’s Curiosity
Elephants don’t get many opportunities to enjoy a bus ride. Here’s a baby elephant trying to board a safari bus. The mother elephant gently prevents it. Who knows where the baby might wind up, once she’s on the bus?
