Hey! Ranking the species by distance is really unfair!
That makes the slugs even more impressive
I think slugs got tricked into thinking it was an endless surface and kept exploring it.
Well now we need the Möbius snail-exercise wheel to make this a reality
I think slugs will follow a slime trail, so maybe they are just following the infinite slime trail.
I need to put some wheels in my garden
Here is an article about it: https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/animals-ecology/hamster-wheel-running-nature-repubz/
Thanks, the picture was way too far into the Jpeg realm
Animals have Free Wheel
Think of the energy that could be generated this way
maybe the wind want’s to play too.
Getting in shape for mating season
There are also bigger ones for cats, they also love it

Parrots love it too, but in a different way
The cat cafe in Denver used to have a big one, it was great to see the cats take turns in it. One would just lay at the bottom of it and hog it from others who wanted to use it.
Wait until corporations find out there are animals that want to do free labor and you don’t have to feed them.
They already do that for civet coffee.
The civets are not in it voluntarily though. They do eat the coffee fruits spontaneously, but for civet coffea production they are usually captured and kept in tiny cages - it’s really sad.
That’s a strange use of question marks?
I agree?
Why do you think they do it!
$Who.knows
They must like question marks??
Where’s @[email protected] when you need ‘em?
slug enters the wheel
training montage music starts
I have gerbils. Some of them love it and some couldn’t care less. For one it took over 6 months of watching her sister and just sitting in it to figure out how it works. Once she did, there was no end to it.
Aww, no turtles? Come on, turtles, you’re so much faster than slugs and snails, go have a walk and demolish those distance figures! 🐢
It would be really surprising to see turtles on the wheel, considering there are no wild turtles in the Netherlands.
Sure, there aren’t wild turtles in the Netherlands. But this call was aimed at the turtles in general, worldwide! Turtles will be able to get to the Netherlands from the nearest location. Eventually. We believe in them!
I admire your positive outlook and confidence in turtles
Free Wheely!
I’m imagining a Bjenny Montero cartoon, where the cartoon frog character is running on the wheel and the cartoon slug character standing next to it says “Hey! Quit hogging the wheel! I want a go.”
Now this is the type of science, I can get behind.
Is most of science, something you cannot?
Hermit crabs love them too!
