A Camera Caught Baby Weasels Having Fun On A Trampoline, And The Video Is Adorable
Robert Fuller’s backyard camera setup caught a scene that looks almost too cute to be real, a group of baby weasels turning a trampoline into their own tiny playground.
Fuller, a wildlife artist in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, already shared his property with hedgehogs, owls, foxes, badgers, and a family of stoats. Once he added a jungle gym and trampoline, the animals found a new favorite spot, and the stoat kits quickly made it part of their routine.
He set up dozens of remote cameras to watch what happened next, and the footage did not disappoint.
“When I developed my camera setup 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 says. “The stoat kits seem to meet at the trampoline to play and have fun! They appear to enjoy the texture of the material and use it for particularly bouncy play fights and stretching.”

But the trampoline isn’t only the stoats’ favorite, other animals use it too, and some of them even train their hunting skills there.
“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 explained.
Also, it’s giving the same vibe as this raccoon’s snowy security-camera adventure.
Even though the stoats use it most, they don’t mind sharing the jungle gym with owls, badgers, and other animals.
The happiest with this arrangement is Fuller. He managed to get a glimpse into the nocturnal life of the wild animals and discovered that they also love having fun and being goofy.
