Athlete Paratrooper
Five-month-old kitten “Mae West” underwent rigorous training in Georgia before being fitted with a special harness and chute to become a para-cat. In 1954, she made an impressive 37 jumps from a plane. Interestingly, the British military actually deployed para-cats in Malaysia. They dropped “Ginger” and “Sambo” in crates to a rodent-infested garrison in the jungle. The success of this mission led to “Operation Cat Drop,” during which dozens of cats were parachuted into areas overrun with rats. Facebook / Cats in the Navy

The Fat Electrician did a video where a state DNR dept air dropped a bunch of beavers. Had a fatality though after one chewed through his box in mid air and jumped out.

The only fatality sadly 🫡
The first beaver they trained was on the older side and he really enjoyed jumping apparently and when they checked on the beavers later he was thriving

He in fact got a harem out of it after becoming the first and his line is now thriving.
