I had the pleasure of listening to John Ratey, MD tonight about his book Spark. Great talk, very genuine person who is passionate about making change. He presented some valuable information about the primal pattern of play and its role in neural development (sometimes more important to the brain than food). He gave this clip as an indicator of how researchers have seen it every where, here it was captured. I have seen polar bears and been within feet of them at the "dump" in Wabush, Labrador where i grew up; they are 1000-1400 # of anger when hungry as a prelude....
