China: Squirrel Performs Gymnastic-Like Moves on Overhead Power Line

On February 1, 2026, in Dali, Yunnan province, southwestern China, a video showed a small squirrel struggling on an overhead power line at the Canghai Yunshang Grassland scenic area. The squirrel spun and flipped along the wire, appearing at first to perform gymnastic moves, before clinging on nervously. It eventually regained its balance and escaped safely.
