My question is was he just playing around to see if he could break the ice? Normally if you are on a construction site like that one and needed a route across some ice like that you would try not to break it by walking as gingerly as possible and probably would have placed some matting sheets of some kind on top of the ice, he sure shouldn't have been bouncing on it

That's great, you can see the crack start to propagate under his left foot as he lifts the right on. If he's in Philadelphia that's called FAAFO

C'mon man, what does FAAFO mean? Give me the GP version. GP, PG, hell I don't know!

**** around and find out

What is the point of being grown up if you can't act like a kid when you want to?

It seems the polar bear is way smarter than the construction worker

Well, the bear is white. (Sorry, just couldn't pass up the obvious. My comment is for humor/entertainment purposes, only... not meant to offend.)

The animal kingdom is a wealth of knowledge to humans. The bear creeps rather than walks and creates shock force that could break the ice! But even if it breaks the ice, the bear is still at home.

How many times did the bear break the ice while growing before it discovered this technique. BUT the bear did learn - awesome.

Who teaches kittens the litter box? Even newborn kittens without a mother! Who teaches birds navigational skills? Unlike human navigator, birds don't train for navigation. They can fly for up to 24 hours at a time non-stop on migration, and cover 2500 kilometers journey in under a week. Seabirds can travel millions of kilometers in a lifetime, yet how they navigate across a featureless ocean is beyond human understanding and beyond their modern sophisticated technology.

I once had a Persian cat that would not use the litter box under any circumstances. I had to give her away...

A litter box is an imitation of the cat's natural world. Most cats quickly adapt to litter box. Your Persian cat is an isolated case rather than the norm and suggest that something was wrong with the litter box. BUT the subject here is not the litter box. The question is: Who teaches animals to do what they do?
