A cute polar bear cub was filmed charging around his enclosure with a traffic cone stuck on his head – before poking his mum in the bum.
Little Momota picked up the red cone and shoved his head right inside.
He then charged around the enclosure like a tiny unicorn.

At one point, his unimpressed mum removed the cone with her fangs.
But the cheeky youngster immediately shoved his head inside again and charged at his unsuspecting parent.
The cone’s pointed end appeared to poke his mum in a sensitive area.
Visitors captured the hilarious scenes on camera with clips racking up millions of views online.
Fans flooded social media with praise for the mother-and-son double act.

One local asked: “Was Momota trying to go back where he came from?”
Another added: “Mum’s patience deserves an award too!”
Shane said: “Doesn’t matter if you’re human or polar bear, kids always gonna be kids and parents always gonna be parents.”

Keepers placed the cones in the enclosure as enrichment toys, as reported by Whats The Jam.
Momota, born on 4 December last year, has turned them into his favourite playthings.
He balances them on his head, runs about the enclosure and keeps tumbling over.
The eight-month-old cub shows no sign of getting bored with his toys.
His patient mother Momo removes the cone time after time, but the determined youngster simply picks it up and starts all over again.
Alongside dad Gota, the family lives at Oga Aquarium GAO in Akita Prefecture, Japan.
Aquarium staff said Momota is a healthy and energetic boy who loves exploring.
His adorable antics have drawn extra visitors to the aquarium.
