Did you know that Lemurs are primates and prosimians which means that they are not monkeys. . The word "lemur" comes from the Latin word lemures, which means "ghosts". This name refers to many of the nocturnal lemur species and their large eyes. Lemur may be any member of the four lemuriform families, but it is also the genus of one of the lemuriform species. There are two so-called flying lemurs, but they are not real lemurs. Lemurs live only on the island of Madagascar and some smaller islands next to it, for example the Comoros. Larger species have all become extinct since human groups moved to Madagascar. Usually, the smaller lemurs are active at night, and the larger ones are active during the day. Which is even more interesting about them is that they are very much in love with the heat and especially with the sun. They have been known to go out in the sun just to sunbathe and take in the heat.

These are the dolphins from the Harderwijk Dolphinarium in the Netherlands. They do have a short show there in their natural sea water lagoon (not a pool), the Dolfijnendelta where most of the dolphins live. It's just a short show so not to have the Dolphins work too hard. This video is not from the show, but what they do at other times. They are getting toys! The staff throws these floats into the water and the dolphins seem to love it. They free to play or to just leave them where they are, but they were actually waiting for the staff in the morning to throw the floats into the water and started playing straight away.

They threw it that hard that one of the float ended back up on land, with the other Dolphins looking at the thrower as if they were saying to him, what have you done, but not to worry there were many more floats!

All horses have a robust desire to play; even a day old horse displays this by skipping and jumping. Foals exercise galloping and making sharp turns, pulling face mask expressions and trying to wave the tails, by reiterating these adult behaviors they are learning vital skills for later in life. Adult horses are typically very patient with playful youngsters and put up with infinite amounts of nibbling, biting and mounting. Understanding the “normal” behavior of a horse will help you to know whether your horse is behaving normally or not. This knowledge will help you determine the appropriate management plan for your horse. While behaviorists will discuss equine behaviors using similar terms, there may be some variation in the categories used. Some behaviorists may place more emphasis on certain behaviors due to how important they judge their significance to the makeup of the horse or management strategies for the horse. Play behavior can be included as a primary behavior, based on its importance and variety in young horses. There are numerous types of play actions—object play, play fighting, loco motors play and sexual play. Play is considered important for the good welfare of a horse, especially in juveniles. It helps several functions such as enhanced ability, practicing survival helps and building social relationships. Object play includes playing with something, e.g., a young colt likes playing with a ball when stalled. Play fighting is frequently done by young horses, particularly colts. Sexual play often starts at a very early age; even suckling horses may be observed attractive in mounting behavior with their dams. Loco motors play is just the exuberant release of energy that can be seen when horses take off running cross-ways a field for no apparent aim, or when a fresh horse bucks a few times on the long line. A horses need to play doesn’t reduce as he grows older and horses that play together often become experts at reading each other’s body language. A stabled horse who infrequently has the chance to play finds it difficult to read this refined body language, so when turned out, he may show lack by galloping and bucking actively, inventing games for himself in the stable like playing with his water bucket, if actually frustrated he may even option to some irregular vices like crib-biting. A horse that hasn’t advanced the skill of play when he is young may also have trouble mating in later life because his ability to connect through body language hasn’t been adequately developed. While <a href="https://rumble.com/v6l1gr-11-week-old-great-dane-puppy-loves-to-play-tug-of-war.html" target="_blank">play</a> behavior is observed more in foals, it can also be seen in juvenile and adult horses. Initially, colts and fillies may spend similar time at play. As the horse ages, the males demonstrate more play behavior than the females. Environment may play a role in horses exhibiting play behavior. The chance to socialize in a herd and the ability to run at will all provide more opportunities for <a href="https://rumble.com/v4tkwm-funny-friesdale-horses-steal-moms-gloves.html" target="_blank">horses</a> to initiate play behavior. Providing play objects for stalled horses or horses housed alone may help enrich their environment.

Elliot and Ellie are the rare Binturong (Arctictis binturong), also known as a bearcat from the Dudley zoo in England. Elliot moved into his new enclosure first and than Ellie the female Binturong joined him a bit later. You normally see these two rarely active in the day as they sleep through most of the day. You're really lucky if you do see them moving around in the daytime. Elliot is sleeping, but when he wakes up he is looking to go outside, but his mate is having none of it and blocks the exit. She starts to snap at him and no matter what he tries, she just won't let him pass. Did you know that they smell of popcorn? It is actually a proven fact that they do really smell of popcorn! They say the pee has the same chemical compounds 2-AP that gives popcorn its tantalizing scent!

These sneaky rodents are stealing all the sunflower hearts bird food. They repeatedly pop up behind the tree trunk, coming back and forward like them having a game of hide and seek. Nobody likes rodents, but when they look over the tree trunk like that, they're kind of cute or would you ran a mile? Seeing the rats stealing all the food, I stopped feeding the birds on the trunk and use a proper bird feeder with a plastic pipe around the stand, so there is no way for them to climb up. Also very effective for squirrels! Did you see other video on rumble? The one were the Gibbon is chasing away the rat. It's hilarious! https://rumble.com/v32rxg-funny-gibbons-scare-intruder-away.html Because of evident displays of their ability to learn, rats were investigated to see whether they exhibit intelligence, as expressed by the definition of a g factor and observed in larger, more complex animals. Rats and mice are highly intelligent. They are naturals at learning and understanding concepts. Although considerably smaller than dogs, they are at least as capable of thinking about things and figuring them out as dogs are! Rats will eat nearly anything, but they prefer grain and meat. Rats need 1/2 to one ounce of fluid each day. If they don't get this in the food they eat, they have to find water. Like mice, rats are nocturnal, have very poor eyesight, but have very strong senses of smell, taste, and hearing.
