🐻🐻Two playful young Andean bears at Queens Zoo looked for all the world like little kids as they played with a makeshift seesaw in their enclosure recently.

Footage filmed by Ursula McDermott, who was visiting the zoo, shows Coya, a two-year-old female, and Ransisku, a four-year-old male, playing with their seesawing branch.

In the footage, Coya begins bouncing Ransisku into the air, an adorable interaction which prompted the zoo to clarify that the video was certainly not AI.

“As young bears, Coya and Ransisku are curious about everything in their environment,” Mike Allen, director of the Queens Zoo, said. “While this particular interaction with the branch is unique and fun to watch, it’s very much in line with their natural instinct to explore, climb, and test their surroundings.”

A car thief let off a fire extinguisher in the apparent hope of hampering a police pursuit, video showed, but failed to make a great escape.

Dashcam footage released by West Midlands Police shows the car in which 19-year-old Shane McCallion was a passenger as the fire extinguisher is let off.

Police said officers spotted the car after it was reported stolen in late October.

At one point, the extinguisher itself is thrown from the car.

McCallion was arrested for theft and aiding and abetting dangerous driving. He pleaded guilty at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court, police said on December 11.
