Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel is an animal novelty act featuring an eastern gray squirrel who skis around a heated pool. The original Twiggy was adopted in 1978 by Florida roller-skating rink owners Chuck and Lou Ann Best. They taught her to water ski, which made international news. The Best family began traveling with Twiggy for national tours, film appearances, and media profiles. Forty years after Twiggy's debut, Chuck and Lou Ann Best's son, Chuck Jr, took over operations of the squirrel performances. Twiggy doesn't mind water-skiing, according to Lou Ann Best, who told The Washington Post in 2016 "there's nothing unnatural about what she's doing."[1]
