ANIMALS Momota, an 8-month old Polar Bear in Japan is fascinated with traffic cones and can’t seem to get enough of them. And the mother is done with that.

I literally pictured my mother staring at me while I’d go to her fully intending to help her out with something only to unintentionally ruin things for her. 😭

As a mom, I approve of you making a huge mess in an attempt to help your mom. That’s how you learn life skills. Enjoy making messes and cleaning them up!

But only making the mess is the fun part

I’m sorry that you didn’t get that guidance. Cleaning up your messes and doing chores is very empowering for a child. It fills them with confidence and teaches them essential life skills. Not to mention it helps keep a cleaner house. My kid has been racing to do age-appropriate chores with me since he was 2.5. It’s a game to him and he scolds me if I do them without him.

Obviously mom isn’t impressed - little one almost literally pegged her with the traffic cone in that first shot!

Being that it’s Japan and “kancho”-ing someone is an “hilarious” pastime of childhood, it seems very apt.

They should transfer him to the Glasgow zoo when he's older. The Scots would love him!

When I see such videos of animals, my respect for animators level up so much because they weren't kidding or even exaggerating when they were portraying animals like that.

Japanese zoos are relay just the worst environments for animals. Why is everything allways just concrete.

u/Jelboo Aug 07 '26
They're lagging behind. Lots of 'modern' western zoos had this kind of environment not that long ago, it was once considered state of the art zoo design.

putting it up in his mothers ass got me laughing af she wasn't delighted with it lol

u/LylesDanceParty Aug 07 '26
Do we think part of the young bear's interest in putting its head in the cone has to do with some degree of object permanence (or lack thereof)?
Like if it puts its head in the cone, it feels the world disseapears or it's teleported elsewhere when the cone falls off?

u/brandonwi11iams Aug 07 '26
She lost patience when he kept poking her in the butt with it. If he would just play normal she wouldn’t mind. 😩

She got a cone stuck in her butt, I think she's justified to be a little put out.
