<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=166362417-11102009>There are examples
of animals doing what appears to be play in the wild, but I am interested in
beasts ingaged in play that involves doing something that is scarey.
Behavior of domestic dogs can be unpredictable since they have a bunch of
factors that mess up the behavior they would have if they were wild: they have
behaviors bred in, or they do things in order to please their
owners.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=166362417-11102009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This YouTube is a
case where a dog is doing something that he would surely consider scarey, but
with no apparent encouragement from an owner. He appears to be doing an
adrenaline kick just for fun. Dog owners, comments welcome on
this:</FONT>
