A man laying on a raft that he made.

Have you ever seen a polar bear floating on their very own raft? At Peak Wildlife Park, it’s one of these animals’ favorite activities! This is all thanks to a man named Mike, who went out of his way to create some bear-proof floatation devices. Peak Wildlife Park shared some wholesome footage of the process on social media.

When Mike built his first raft for the polar bears, the creatures couldn’t get enough of their new toy. In fact, they loved it so much that they ended up destroying it! So, it was up to this handyman to build them another one. His upgrade of the original floatation device was totally successful!

Before taking it out on the water, Mike let the polar bears play with the raft on land. They had the best time jumping on it and dragging it around in their mouths. The new and improved raft stood up to the rough treatment pretty well. Finally, it was time for the ultimate test: one of the polar bears took the device into the water. They looked so happy to have their toy back!

Commenters loved this adorable video of the polar bears playing with their brand new raft. Many thought it was hilarious how the animals seemed to be testing out the toy to make sure it wouldn’t break again!

“The way they jumped on it to make sure y’all fixed it,” one person said.

Another wrote, “Polar bear tested, polar bear approved!”

Peak Wildlife Park often shares videos of their animals, especially the fun enrichment activities they come up with to entertain the polar bears! In another clip, staff decided to freeze a few pumpkins inside of a massive block of ice. It seemed like the bears had the best time trying to get their snack out.

This wildlife park really takes playtime seriously!
