Surfing Mice Hit Australian Waves
Wilmot said the long training process to teach the mice to surf started with floating sessions in the bathtub.He has made several mini-surfboards for his mice and said he takes the mice and boards to Gulf Coast beaches when he thinks they are ready for the waves.Wilmott said he has never lost a mouse to drowning, and always makes sure he dries their fur and eyes when they get out of the water, according to the report."Usually if he is surfing big waves, I usually color his hair up," Wilmott said. "Because he's white, when he gets in the white wash it's hard to find him," Wilmott said.Wilmott has also made a custom-sized jet ski, boat and luxury apartments for the mice to relax in after their hard day cresting the waves.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
