Jumping on a trampoline is a fun and energizing exercise. You jump in the air and do a series of backflips or stunts that will make you laugh out in joy. It’s not only a fun recreational activity, but it has loads of health benefits.
For one, jumping on a trampoline improves your motor skills, balance, and coordination. How? Well, jumping on a trampoline requires a certain level of motor skills. You need to adjust your body based on the shifting center of gravity.
Jumping on a trampoline isn’t only fun for us humans, but for animals too!
It’s incredibly cute to see baby animals having the best time of their lives. They look like tiny babies that you want to hug and cheer as they learned to bounce on the bouncy surface of a trampoline. But, what if they start jumping on your trampoline without your permission?
This is what happened to a man and some baby stoats.
These adorable baby stoats’ joyful experience is a definite must-see that will surely put a smile on your face.
When Robert Fuller built his jungle gym with a trampoline in his yard, he didn’t expect it will bring joy to not only his family, but to the adorable wildlife creatures he shares his property with.
Fuller, a wildlife artist, lives in Thixendale, North Yorkshire. His property has constant visitors such as the hedgehogs, owls, foxes, badgers, and a family of stoats. These family of stoats usually kept to themselves, but the bouncy trampoline was too enticing for them to pass up.
Look at them curiously eye the trampoline! It was big, round and blue. Perfect to bounce on!
When they saw Fuller watching them, they quickly hid away out of shyness.
When the coast was clear, they invited their brothers and sisters to come out and play!
Watch as they happily tug each other and play on the trampoline!
“I first noticed a stoat on the trampoline around 2015,” Fuller said. “It had been snowing and I followed the stoat’s pawprints all the way up to the trampoline and all over it, too!”
Unbeknownst to these lovely and adorable baby stoats, Fuller had set up cameras to watch them enjoy his trampoline!
“When I developed my camera set-up a few years later, the trampoline was a prime contender for a camera and I soon had exciting clips of stoats bouncing and having fun,” Fuller said.
“The stoat kits seem to meet at the trampoline to play and have fun! They seem to like the texture of the material and use it for particularly bouncy playfights and stretching.”
But, it’s not just the trampoline that they use, but the dollhouse in the shape of boots a too.
Watch as a baby stoat jump from the bucket to the dollhouse and went inside.
The wise old owl also tried out the trampoline!
There are badgers too who curiously checked the jungle gym. Look at one pulling on the rope.
It’s a mini playground for wild animals!
The jungle gym doesn’t only bring out the childlike joy in these animals, but it serves as a training ground to practice skills that they need when they become adults.
“The whole children’s climbing frame has been great for the kits to practice their hunting skills and even play a stoat version of hide-and-seek,” Fuller said
The stoats may have taken over the gym, but they are happy to share it with their wildlife friends. Fuller is happy to share his jungle gym too! He is happy to accidentally create a playground for his wild neighbors.
Watch them play in the video below!
