This reminds me of the ostrich they had at my local zoo. I had a subscription, went weekly. I would run back and forth next to the enclosure for the ostrich and he would run along with me. It made me so happy.

One week I came in and he wasn't there. I looked around a bit and walked up to a carer and asked him: "Hi! where's the ostrich today?"

He replied: "Oh! That's a really short story. It died."

I still think of that great animal. And that carer. Why did you have to say it like that man?

u/thisprettyplant 23d ago

Aw man 😭

I’m so happy the ostrich had those moments with you. He was probably so excited to run with someone.

u/broketothebone 22d ago

Happens to me every time I see my best friend's cat. Can confirm it is heartbreaking and also, pretty embarrassing when a cat just leaves you hanging like that.

(I figured out it's because I cat-sit when they're gone, so she sees me and thinks that means they're leaving her. Her vibe is more to perch on the dresser and judge my every move.)

The following is not Russian history with bears, but Polish. Either way, if you’re looking for an interesting story, look up Wojtek) the soldier bear. He accompanied Polish soldiers to battle in Italy during WWII and earned the rank of Corporal. Absolute unit.

u/Tee_Veee 22d ago

I'm also well aware about Wojtek, no bear could come close to the badassory of Wojtek.

u/Background-Adagio-97 22d ago

I had heard the name, but never knew anything about Wojtek. That was an awesome read and I will definitely be doing more research into that. What a total fucking badass of a bear.

Most of these were amazingly cute. Just not the walrus doing sit-ups and the bear one. Those weren’t cute. Those were animals that were doing things they shouldn’t be doing.

The dogs and cats were adorable though. They were mimicking their people, just like tiny humans. That in itself is adorable, a sign of true love.

Adorable except for the bear. It looked like it was on a very short chain connected to the top of the wheelchair, you can see it at 0:39 :/

Edit: Found the full clip, the chain is part of his leash that hands from his neck, he is pushing around his trainer that broke his legs. So it's a learned trick. I did say it looks like (:

11

u/Zakrath 23d ago

I think the chain is not connected to anything in this particular moment. I don't know how the animal is treated behind the scenes tho

8

u/redcottagelizard 23d ago

Sorry, you are right. I found the full clip. the chain is attached to the leather leash that's hanging from his neck. He's pushing around his trainer. So it's just a trick he was taught

u/TundieRice 23d ago edited 23d ago

Welcome to at least 50% of these ā€œlike usā€ posts. Most of these animals are either forced to do these tricks or are doing it for treats.

I’m sure a small amount are natural and the animals are truly mimicking humans, but it’s a lesser percentage for sure.

13

u/redcottagelizard 23d ago

I still have some hope left

Teaching them tricks for treats is the same as training a dog to behave, so not half bad. Animals that are companions or spend most of the time with humans do stuff like that naturally, there's a bunch of clips of dogs trying to exercise with their humans.
