If skiing is already a difficult activity to do, now imagine seeing a squirrel in a mini pool with a custom-made vest.
You’re reading correctly! Twiggy is an eastern grey squirrel that water-skiis professionally.
According to the official website, little Twiggy has been entertaining parents and children alike with her water ski show since 1979, performing live shows in public places where people gather to witness this impressive and adorable spectacle.
After performing a water ski show at the Mall of America, United States, Twiggy surprised the crowd by being so good at this high-speed surface water sport.

The squirrel wore a mini swimsuit while riding a small remote-controlled boat. The owner even helps Twiggy to help her speed up in the pool located in the heart of the Mall. She never looses the balance!

How Did Twiggy Learn Water Skiing?
The baby squirrel was rescued in 1978 after being blown from her nest during a hurricane. Adopted by Chuck and Lou Ann, she became the family’s new pet.
“Chuck bought his daughter a remote controlled boat for her birthday. Their friends started teasing him saying that he bought it for himself, since he played with it all the time. Defending himself, he quipped, “I have to learn to drive the boat so I can teach my squirrel to water-ski!” In that moment, Chuck and Lou Ann decided they were going to teach their squirrel to ski while on their river outings.” the website remarks.
Now, Twiggy has been traveling all across the world and has appeared in books, magazines and newspapers.
So now you know it! Everything is possible, even for a little squirrel.
