The Murchison ranch is home to more than 600 animals, and the Humane Society released a video allowing some residents to "showcase their natural athletic prowess in gymnastics, soccer, swimming, track and field, and wrestling."

The gymnastics portion of the video features 10 lemurs and a lion named Doula, while Elsa the tiger shows off her soccer skills by dribbling a watermelon.

The video also features macaques Elle and Hopper; tigers Theodora and Serenity; a kangaroo named Joey; several goats; and a mother-son bear duo named Jackie and Russell.
