Roly polys are old news. The new hotness is rolling salamanders and caterpillars!

These creatures have adapted to their environment by learning how to literally turn themselves into wheels - thus being able to roll down a hill quicker than running, and without feeling any bumps. Just like a tire. See the video for a better explanation.

They're like ninjas!
Wouldn't it be awesome if we could do that? I bet a few Cirque du Soleil performers could. "Well, I gotta be home in 5 so.... " and then you roll up and cruise away. In a perfect world....
