A sweet little girl just made a furry best friend - by playing peek-a-boo at the zoo. Six-year-old Riley stumbled across a lonely grizzly bear at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, South Carolina last month. She decided to hide behind a divider where the big bear was sitting and then playfully poked her head out to one side of the glass, and then the other. The bear surprisingly played along - moving to the left when she did and to the right when she did.
A clip of the sweet interaction, taken by the young girl's mother, Meagan Sawyer, was uploaded to YouTube. Ms Sawyer told WPDE that little Riley loves playing peek-a-boo with her eight-month-old sister and just started playing when she saw the animal.
Riley was "amazed" that the bear played along.
"He was like up against the glass, like in the middle. We were playing peek-a-boo...we went to the left, then the right, then the left, then the right," Riley told ABC15.
