There is a proud tradition of documenting animals on trampolines. You can even watch a supercut of dogs, cats, pigs, goats, foxes and a buffalo get in on the action (or try to) in this video, set to House of Pain's 1992 hit "Jump Around."

A young elk in snowy Colorado is the latest furry friend to traverse a trampoline. An Evergreen, Colo., man captured this video of the elk trying to run around the powdery trampoline in his backyard, which 9News later reported on its website.

The elk's brethren gathered around and seemed to try to guide it out, the 9News story noted.
