Hey, this is nuts! Twiggy the waterskiing squirrel Twiggy is a natural. Picture: AP/The Herald-Palladium, Don Campbell Source: AP While most of her kind are foraging for food in a forest, Twiggy the squirrel spends her days waterskiing behind a boat "piloted" by one of her friends. The latest display of her incredible skills sent the crowd wild this week at the Family Fun Zone in the town of St Joseph, Michigan. Wearing a custom-made miniature life vest, the talented rodent stands on specially-made skis holding a miniature cable as a remote-controlled toy powerboat drags her around the pool. Not bad! Twiggy, the waterskiing squirrel, was pictured this week riding behind a remote-controlled boat during a performance at the Family Fun Zone in Michigan.

The original was rescued as a baby by Florida couple Chuck and Lou Best in 1978 after it was blown from its nest during a hurricane. The idea to teach her to water ski began as a joke after Mr Best bought his daughter, Lalainia, a remote-control boat. There have been both male and female Twiggys. The retired squirrels live out their lives as family pets.
