When we think of fall we think of a lot of things: Apples, cooler weather, leaves changing color and, of course, animals adorably playing with pumpkins. And what do you know! Just in time for the first day of fall (tomorrow), the Bronx Zoo has gone and released a new adorable video of some of its brown bears doing what they do with a batch of fresh pumpkins. Are you ready to see some really cute pumpkin eating, rolling and splashing?
Swimming with a half-devoured pumpkin never looked so much fun. Shame that Hurricane Irene has reportedly seriously hurt the pumpkin crop this year.
