Yes, its exactly what you are seeing and thinking. The picture collage captures Squirrels doing their superhero landing moves, whether its a big jump or a small one, maybe from a tree or a roof or in a barn, they land on three. The two hind legs and one paw, from the image you could see how perfectly balanced squirrels land waving paw in the air like a victory thump.
A theory suggested that, landing in that manner is a result of a squirrel finding its center of gravity mid air, the raised paw keeps them balance like a gymnast that gets a strike for poor landing. Domesticated ones have not been recorded doing this pose, even though its scarce, Squirrels rank low on pets list but a couple of households do rare them. They are like Rabbits and Guinea pigs, but extraordinarily more energetic and smarter than the rests if not the smartest if the general rodents family.
Its quite a fun experiencing such a marvelous act, animals are born gymnasts and they could pull amazingly cool moves beyond human reasoning. Like a Seal trying to keep a straight head and face, like a Dolphin doing multiple acrobatic moves in the ocean. Its a funny experience and whoever took those captivating pictures deserves an award.
