People aren’t the only ones using treadmills to keep in shape.

Horse

Slow motion captures a race horse’s strength and grace.

*
Dog

It doesn’t take him long to catch on.

Bird


*
Pig

Yeah, it’s an ad, but it’s still a pig on a treadmill.

*
Ferret


*
Kiwi


*
Bat

Who knew vampire bats could run?

*
Fish

From a study on the mudskipper’s oxygen consumption. (Thanks, Lula!)

*
Guinea Pigs


*
Turtle

A science experiment to document the breathing process of a turtle.

*
Cat Who Likes a Treadmill

November is not only willing to use the treadmill as it was intended, but also looks good doing it.

*
Cat Who Doesn’t


*
Two Cats

Might as well have some fun with your sibling.

*
Cat and Dog Together

You can tell the cat is looking for an easier way.

*
Shrimp

Not to be watched while drinking liquid.

*
Humans

Apparently, humans on treadmills are only noteworthy when they do it wrong.

  1. It’s definitely worth saying that the shrimp on the treadmill video is a product of my humble alma mater:

  2. One of my professors in college was a Snake Gastrophysiologist, and he used put huge pythons on treadmills to run metabolism experiments.
    Pretty entertaining stuff.

  7. Whew, I am also a pet lover and I liked this idea of animals on treadmills. Maybe there is a fitness equipment guide for pets, can someone help me. Sometimes I lack the time of walking our dog klok-klok outside so he became very heavy and one time he just collapsed out of exhaustion, he has not been walking around lately. I am afraid that one day he might just get a heart attack. Other than a treadmill, would there be other equipments for pets that would boost their condition even without having to go outside, or some other activities that pets can do. I would appreciate it.
