Spent the day at the Brookfield Zoo and was lucky enough to catch a resident polar bear inventing games for himself and doubly lucky my fiancee brought a video cam.

Man, I never get to see the bears at the Minnesota Zoo do anything but practice their napping technique. The Tigers, too, for that matter.

Made maybe a little less cute by my suspicion that the bear is pretending that it's a baby seal it's tossing around. :-)

Wait, now I'm confused, I thought that WAS the cute part.

I just can't get over the feeling when I'm at the zoo it's animal jail. Maybe some of those polar bears should be doing hard time--I don't know. Now for dogs like Lady, I'm for harm reduction, personally. Toad users/abusers aren't hurting anyone.

On a more sombre note, David Attenborough once told me that he feels that polar bears really shouldn't be kept in zoos. Apparently, they have a very high probability of going deranged.

Well, if you want to keep them entertained, you can offer them pseudo seals like this:

In last video, where it climbs out, I was vividly reminded of a very large man I saw climing out of a swimming pool last week.
