In April it was a video of a jumping cow and since then we've found videos of showjumping bunnies (very cute) and even tenacious people trying to train cats to jump (don't think this will really catch on - the kitties weren't that excited about it), now we've found the cutest one of all - a jumping zebra. Although this talented and handsome little guy doesn't just jump, he does a few trail obstacles as well!... Winter Rugs Road Test

Before we know it the London Olympics will be upon us and organisers are going full steam ahead to make sure everything is running like clockwork, by the time the Games begin.
