The California Desert tortoise has been seen to scale 6 foot tall chain
link fences that get in the way of its migration.
Not tunnel under-CLIMB the fence.
This has been reported more than once at the Desert Tortoise habitat
near Edwards Airforce base in California.

I'd like to see a wildebeest try to climb a chainlink fence.
