Parachuting animals

Dog in parachute harness
- ... that beavers, mules, and dogs (pictured) have been parachuted from airplanes? Source: "the idea of translocating beavers by dropping boxes of them out of a plane with parachutes was unusual." "the British found a cumbersome but fairly safe procedure for parachuting mules from C-47s." "'Major,' a 145-pound St. Bernard dog, was also tossed from a plane at 26,000 feet to test parachute straps at a high altitude."

Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 113 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.gobonobo + c 19:36, 29 March 2024 (UTC).
The article is new and long enough. The image is free and clear. The hook is very interesting and it is cited in the article. The article is neutral and uses the correct inline citations. Two qpqs are offered to reduce the backlog. I did not find evidence of plagiarism. Bruxton (talk) 21:08, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
