Squirrel lauching

Ойын-сауық

Launching squirrels with a torsion style catapult and a go pro 3 camera. No animals were harmed in the making of this video, although I did bleed a little making the catapult. I had to increase the launching power a little on the last one by adding a bungey cord. It made a big difference. The last one went almost straight up out of the view of the camera about 20 feet high.

    Question, did the squirl come back to ride it again? I once saw a squirl playing with a springy fallen branch. It'd run to the end, the branch would dip down under its weight then the branch would fling it into the air. It did a somersault or two, land on the ground, then run back up the branch and do it again. There was no insentive for the squirl to run up the branch other than pure enjoyment of the ride.

This is anything but animal cruelty, animal cruelty would be simply killing them but instead this catapult just scares them away. I hope other people agree with me

    Would love to see how a sugar glider would react? We have a neighborhood here in Pittsburgh, PA called Squirrel Hill. I had read that when early settlers were moving into the area it was over-run with squirrels and they had to do battle with them to get the population down. Your contraption would have come in handy.
