Polar bears just want to have fun

On a trip to the San Diego Zoo recently, one of the polar bears was playing in the water with a couple of beach balls, picking the balls up with his front paws and throwing them at the window. He was having a great time showing off for us, and we were having a great time watching him. Unfortunately, 12 seconds into doing a video of him, the battery died. I had forgotten to charge it the night before. By the time I got the battery changed, the polar bear had moved on. I did get 12 seconds though!
