Lately, animals have been totally kicking our butts in the impressive talents department. First there was Sarah, the saxophone playing walrus, and now there's Twiggy, the water-skiing squirrel. Twiggy strutted her stuff last weekend at the New York National Boat Show and wowed audiences with her balance and bushy-tailed grace.

Twiggy's owner, LuAnn Best -- who's raised six different stuntacular squirrels in the past 20 years -- says training squirrels is a lot like "training a husband. Give them lots of love and affection, and tell them the same thing over and over."

Meanwhile, we still haven't learned how to play an instrument or water ski.
