Summary

Description
العربية: دُبَّان قُطبيَّان يلهوان ويتدرَّبان على القتال في تشرشل بِكندا. هذا الأُسلوب من اللهو له تأثيرٌ مُهم على السُلُوك الاجتماعي لِذُكُور الدببة القُطبيَّة. خِلال هذه العراكات تحتك الدببة ببعضها، لكنَّ أحدها لا يتسبب بِأيَّة جُرُوحٍ لِخصمه. يُلاحظ هذا السُلُوك خِلال فصل الخريف قُبيل تشكُّل الجليد على مياه المُحيط.
English: Polar bears are engaged in play fight in Churchill, Canada. Play fights have an important role in social behavior of male polar bears. During these fights the bears come into body contact, but never injure one another. Play fights might be observed in the autumn before the ice is formed.
Français : Deux Ours polaire (Ursus maritimus) se bagarrent pour de faux à Churchill, dans le Manitoba (Canada). Ce type de comportement a un rôle important dans les relations sociales entre ours mâles. Les deux ours entrent en contact physique mais ne se font pas de mal. Ce type de bagarre s'observe en automne avant la prise des glaces.
