While some people come up with very innovative, unique things to post and say on their blogs, I myself take a much easier way out most of the time.
Which is why I am sharing this gem with you today. Meet Sara the walrus.
Call me a loser. Call me easily entertained. I am fiercely interested and charmed by animals trained to do different things, even if it's just for fun. (Soon I will put up a new video of Gabe's new tricks!) I watch something like this and immediately want to know how they taught her, or if they really had to. Maybe they simply captured the behavior by reinforcing her when she did it on her own. Maybe she learned it by them modeling it for her. Maybe they rewarded close approximations until Sara grasped the entire behavior. Maybe I should have gone to walrus training school?
And in case Sara is not entertaining enough for you, at least take notice in how much fun the TRAINER is having starting at about the 38 second mark.
