Adorable video shows polar bear rolling around in ice cubes during playtime on hot day at Utah zoo
A polar bear at a Utah zoo took a break from eating fish and entertaining visitors to roll around in a pile of ice cubes in an adorable video posted to social media.
Named Nora, the creature is one of two female polar bears living at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, the Daily Mail reports, citing the zoo's website.
On May 6, the zoo posted a clip on Storyful of Nora enjoying the ice in her temporary enclosure. The video's description said Nora was recovering from surgery to repair a broken humerus bone.
She was temporarily staying in a small holding area instead of her usual habitat to keep her from re-injuring herself during playtime.
The video starts of showing Nora pushing the ice with her snout and even munching on a few cubes.
Later, the bear rolls from her side to her back on the ice. She appears to be very happy, as she sloshes back and forth on the chilly surface.
The Utah weather forecast for May explains why.
Temperatures in Salt Lake City ranged from 53 to 77 degrees during the first week of May, according to Accuweather.
