To celebrate the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympics (I took home the gold in staying up late to watch sports I didn’t know existed), this is a video of tabby cat Calvin demonstrating his athletic prowess by jumping through increasingly higher Olympic rings. One jump he even goes OVER

This is a video of African Gray parrot Apollo setting the Guinness World Record for most objects identified by a parrot in 3 minutes, with a total of 12. While it’s certainly impressive he can identify objects at all, I feel like there’s room for improvement. I mean that’s only
