friendship



I recently watched a video on seaTV that had to do with friendship between wild polar bears and huskies. The polar bears started playing with the huskies and the huskies seemed excited to have some new friends. Instead of writing my thoughts about this I thought it would be a good idea to interview may friend Ricky the raccoon on what he thinks about this.


(recorded interview)


"Hey Ricky"

Ricky: "Hey kiddo"


"Do you mind if I can interview you about the polar bears playing with the huskies?"


Ricky: "Sure but make it fast. I need to get to the dumpster before all the other raccoons get there first"



Ricky what is your reaction to this friendly playing? My reaction to this was at first was maybe the polar bears are not hungry or they think huskies are baby polar bears. But I can see it now. Genuine friendship. A special bond that exists only with friends. Also polar bears are very social and they can make many friends.


Do think friendships could happen between two different species of animals? Yes I do think two different species can have a friendship.You and I are living examples of this, a raccoon and a sea otter.


What do you think of the friendship of the these animals have? I think it is a wonderful thing that these two animals can be friends. Especially with global warming and the loss of fish these polar bears could be hungry and instead of attacking and eating them(huskies) , they are playing with them. Beautiful. Total innocence.



Do you think humans can have a friendship like this? Yes.Yes I do. Though not all humans , only some, especially those humans who know about the environment and wildlife. The nice ones, the ones who leave the garbage pail lid open .(laughing raccoon)


Oh yeah.(laughing sea otter) next question. The owner was standing and watching the polar bears playing with his huskies. Do you think he is worried that anything will happen?

No, not really. I mean he was standing there and he knew that they(polar bears) are nice. Plus animals are able to be friends with any creature. Like the lion an the lamb, and the cat and squirrel. We are able to get along in this world.


Thanks Ricky.
