are you ready for my favorite fact?

If you leave a hamster wheel out in the forest, wild mice will come and run on it.

that is my favorite fact

Bobcats and lynx will sit in cardboard boxes abandoned in the middle of the forest.

I asked the lynx researcher who told me this why, and he said “Cats, man” and shrugged.

I had to see this for myself and it is better than I imagined:

“Rats, shrews, and even frogs found their way to the wheel—more than
200,000 animals over 3 years. The creatures seemed to relish the feeling
of running without going anywhere.“ (Link)

And there is a video.
