That's very normal, all animal species play. It's an important form of learning and social bonding. They look like they are having so much fun! There was a great documentary on PBS some years back where a crew filmed wild American bison near Yellowstone running and sliding in the snow, making "laughing" hoots. The same video also showed retired space program apes who had a birthday party. The monkeys were wearing party hats and they jumped up and down when they saw the cake, came out of their cages and hugged each other like humans, with these distinct facial expression like tears of joy. Our psych class lost it, everyone in there cried like a baby! I still can't look at a birthday cake or a party hat without thinking of that. Thanks for linking this, it was a good video.

This video of polar bears playing with sled dogs that totally fascinates me every time I see it. But I have a husky so I am biased.

Don't be fooled by that video of the Polar Bears. They are pure Carnivores and if you move, you are food.

The only time they would be approachable is if their bellies where completely full of food. Both that man and his dogs are very lucky to be alive. When those Polar Bears next became hungry they would return and eat the dogs and the man. They might even play with the bodies after getting their fill.

Yes animals play, but dangerous animals also play with the bodies of their food after eating. They don't like us, they are not bonding with us they were playing with those dogs as a child would play with a doll just before pulling its arm off.

Congratulations on your technical achievement

Animals have abilities in which a human, if trained to know an animal, can use and merge taking the animals ability and meshing it with our six senses allowing the human "extra ears,eyes and nose".

Rats have been trained to help doctors find cancer.
Ravens have been trained to see intruders.
Dogs have been trained as...fill in the blank.

What a person forgets is that they need training as well.

Most humans are deaf, dumb and blind to the natural world. They have been trained to work with in the goverment given system/reality forgetting the lessons that our great Grandfathers have tried to pass on to us as a warning.

Dolphins display a wide array of learned behaviors. I have observed Dolphins in Hilton Head beaching themselves in the shallow water. I was told that they do it to rub their bellies on the sand. Much like a good back scratch. This behavior is not instinctual and is passed down to the youngsters.

Dolphins also strand feed. Behavior just like the beaching practice.

No, they're not in danger. These bottlenosed dolphins are "Strand Feeding" - literally driving fish and shrimp ashore and hurling themselves bodily from the water to feed. This rare event, thought to be a learned behavior, occurs at low tide and has only been reported in the South Carolina LowCountry. On this day, I was paddling a creek that joins the May River near Bluffton, South Carolina. The quiet late afternoon air was torn by the sounds of rushing water and the happy clicks of the dolphin pod. I had seen this extraordinary phenomena before - but sans camera. I quickly nosed my kayak into the mud and enjoyed a front row seat!
