13 gifs that prove that parkour was actually invented by cats and dogs
Parkour, also known as freerunning, has gained popularity over the years as an exciting training regimen amongst fitness enthusiast.
The movement finds its origin in the old obstacle course that is often part of military training.
Parkour has been the subject of many documentaries and popular movies. The 2004 French movie District 13 featured a breath-taking parkour sequence that went viral and made David Belle famous.
Belle, a French actor and stuntman, is widely regarded as the founder of this movement.
But while Belle deserves credit for popularizing parkour, we feel the real inventors of this routine have been around for some quite some time.
Much before Belle conceived the idea, these athletic cats and dogs have been showing off their ‘parkouring’ skills to the world.
Warning: Also features a goat and a bunny trying parkour tricks.
