It turns out that it’s not just us humans who love our trampolines – animals love to bounce too!
From our beloved pet dogs and cats to foxes, goats and even elk, adorable animals can show us a thing or two about the pure joy of free, uninhibited bouncing. While we certainly don't encourage you to let animals onto your trampoline, you can start your day off right with this collection of other loveable animals bouncing their way to happiness!
Dogs on trampolines
Dogs are fun-loving creatures that enjoy a backyard trampoline just as much as their human best friends. Many of these dog's families, though, could use a better quality trampoline with a good safety enclosure!
These precious little Golden Retriever pups are starting young! They’re still small and can’t quite jump yet, but with a little help from their human parents, they’re learning how to bounce and move around on the trampoline.
Cats on trampolines
Who says cats don’t like to play? These kitties certainly don’t mind a bit of a bounce!
Smokey loves running around in circles and chasing his tail on the trampoline, getting speed by pushing off from the bouncy mat. In typical cat fashion, he quickly loses interest and the game is soon and suddenly over (when cleaning his face takes priority).
Turtles on trampolines
Now, this is an adorably unexpected friendship! Watch this little (and somewhat confused) turtle get a bouncing lesson from his obliging puppy pal.
Goats on trampolines
Who'd have thought? Goats love to get their bounce on – and might we say, they’re naturals!
These little guys are all awkward, gangly limbs, but that’s not going to put a dampener on their enthusiasm. Watch them buck and bounce to their heart’s content. We especially love when one of them lands awkwardly on the other at 0:13!
Kangaroos on trampolines
While less of a bounce and more of a tumble, this wild kangaroo in the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, was captured leaving the trampoline in a hurry with a hop, skip and a forward flip (but didn’t quite nail the landing).
Foxes on trampolines
Wild foxes are playful, curious creatures who also love a bounce every now and then, apparently! These little fellas were filmed making themselves at home on some backyard trampolines.
Meet this playful pair spotted in Colorado, USA. They made this random backyard their home for the summer, quickly taking over the trampoline when they realised how much fun it was to play and wrestle on the bouncy mat.
Elk on trampolines
Colorado sure does have some interesting wildlife. This time, it’s a bouncing elk! Filmed in Evergreen, this wild elk got himself through the netting onto the trampoline – but getting out proved to be much harder than getting in.
Keen to make like these adorable animals and get bouncing on your very own trampoline? See the range of Vuly Play trampolines online to find the perfect one for your backyard.
