lol animal cruelty? really ppl... They're just stupid BUGS!

[apereiraytytyt]

They are probably happier being more active and exercising as opposed to spending their days in dense fur. I just wonder where she gets the fleas from, maybe she has a cat? There must be some serious discipline to train these fleas, as their brains are very tiny. I wish my dog could do all this. Also I would be curious to learn how fleas from a chinese flea circus permorm in comparison, the actual human chinese circus performers are usually better, inovative stunts, etc.

[larrythedolphin]

I just have one question.........WHY?

[studas2011]

I prefer xbox

[xonopa]

I always heard about flea circuses, but never got to see it in action. I guess these days it will be regarded as 'cruelty to animals' as I see from some of the comments here!

[SonomaDave1]

Why cant these miraculous creatures be taught to turn modern turbine blades and generate electricity? HmmmMMmm? Ever though of that Mr. Scientist?

[mzdoolittle]

@Fasty  Hopefully, the poor flea wasn't too severely chastised for dropping the ball.

[mzdoolittle]

I don't think the fleas are trained at all. I think they are being used, doing what they do naturally. The one with the" ball" was obviously only struggling, as it kept struggling once the "ball" was dropped. I was not amused.

[Fasty]

@mzdoolittle What? He was clearly freaking out because he dropped the ball in front of a live audience and was afraid of what his master would do to punish him after the show!

[alzorama]

It's nice to know there is an actual purpose for fleas.

[EDOM666DEVORE]

evil and pointless hopefully they dont have any memmory

Incredible !

[Kobberoejohn]

I remember this from my childhood in Denmark. Once a year we could afford to go to the Tivoli Garden.

I also remember the fleas in the mats at the gymn. :-(

[nerdelicious5]

I never knew when people said "flea circus" that they used actual fleas...that's pretty cool!

[shoujoairocks]

Pretty cool. Though I'm confused, is she speaking Danish through most of it? I can only understand certain parts :s

[ZephyrinSkies]

That was really cool!!!! Educational too. What little marvels of evolution.

Thanks for sharing and letting pple from current generations enjoy this.

[rmillify]

[luutersfriend]

I saw this flea circus back in 1962, memorable to say the least (at least to me as an 8 year old kid)

[bestlives]

[sparkyspacechimp]

Pumpy32, your father was amazing!! I love watching these lost arts. Thank you very much for posting this....the best example of the flea circus I have seen. Again, THANK YOU!!
