From dogs to rovens and herring gu!!s, animals exhibit an extraordinary desire to ploy. John Guiver looks into their behaviour'

'Play' has been described as any form of behaviour that does not serve a function or purpose. The natural world
abounds with such examples of animals playing just because they can' For instance, ravens in Alaska and Northern
Canada have been observed sliding down roofs covered in snow. They slide down and then fly or walk back to the
top of the roof to repeat the activity again and again. ln some parts of America, ravens have been spotted slithering
down shallow banks of'snow often with a small stick held in their claws'When I learned this, it immediately brought
to mind when my children'werdyoung and ltookth'em to the park.They exhibited exactlythe same repetitive
behaviour, happy to do the same thing for hour upon hour on the slides'

but they need to be opened to be eaten. To get inside the shell herring gulls have to drop the calm onto a rock or
another solid object. lf they drop it from the right height, the shell covering the clam will crack or break, giving them
access to the clam inside. But sometimes, instead of letting the shell hit the ground, the herring gulls swoop down
and catch them in mid-air. Other gulls have been seen to behave like this, too, so the herring gulls'activities are not
unique.

This is where systematic research is so important,lVlore than eighty hours of observing herring gulls has led
researchers to discover patterns - or what they term 'rules'of the'game'. They found that it is the younger, less
mature gulls that play this game the most.They also noticed that it is frequently played over soft ground rather than
hard, so they are not actually trying to break the shells. The young herring gulls also played with objects other than
clam shells. lnterestingly, the researchers realised that this dropping behaviour was seen more often when there
was a strong wind. The researchers concluded that the gulls enjoyed the game more when there was an added
challenge, in this case, the wind. What researchers are still uncertain about is if the gulls are simply having fun or if
there is another explanation for their behaviour

Both the ravens and the herring gulls play alone, but social play is common in animals, especiallit in dogs. Dog
owners love to take their canine friend for a walk, yet when they meet another dog, the dogs go through a ritualjust
like it was stage-managed. Nose to nose, they look each other over, sniff one another and circle round the other dog.
Then, more likely than not, they will start to fight. Neither dog gets hurt, because this is just a pretend fight, not the
realthing.ln othef words, they are just play-fighting.
This ritual has been described as'specific signal patternsi Dogs, coyotes and wolves all display the same
line 29

behaviour. lt begins with the bowing of heads - the'play bow'- and, like other signals, seems to send the
message that they want to play. lndeed, it serves another important function, too; it prolongs playtime' This might
seem bizarre, but it prevents any confusion in other contexts, such as predatory or aggressive encounters. The
psychologist, Marc Bekoff, observed that the bow is used both before and after actions that could be misunderstood
as non-playful. It appears that all age groups of dogs use the play bow 74o/o of the time before and after pretend
biting; young wolves 79o/o of the time and juvenile coyotes 92ol0.

One theory is that the playful interaction between dogs might possibly be a form of practice for any future
aggressive or hunting encounters. Their playtime perhaps enables dogs to be more psychologically flexible, rather
than aggressive from the moment they see a dog they have not previously met. Perhaps their playing serves no
adaptive or evolutionary function, but children also play just to have a good time. Children though, also often play
games that have a more serious purpose, as they enable.them to understand their place in the social hierarchy
in which they live. lt is not outside the realms of possibility that the same principle applies to animals and birds.
Perhaps they are just exploring vrrays of finding their niche in animal society.

WOMEN WHO I"IKE TI{E TASTE OF DANGER

lvy Viney osked four women what mokes them do the things they do.

A Marlee became a policewoman eightyears ago, and has done a lot of work in undercover operations.
'We had a careers talk at school about joining the police force, which interested me and I decided to apply.
To be sure that a life as a policewoman was really for me, I first signed up for the Specials, a group of
part-time officers. I really liked the work so signed on the dotted line and became a full-time officer. After
a couple of years I joined the Special lnquiry Section, which deals with robberies. I have to do a certain
amount of undertover work, such as pretending to be a cashier in a bank about which we've received
a tip-off that it,might be robbed. Obviously, we're dealing with criminals, some of whom are violent, so
therb's already the elenrent of risk. However, I have a back-up team that I have total confidence in, and
therefore, I don't really feel scared when l'm working undercover. lt does frighten me when we have to do
a raid though, as we never know what we're going to face when we walk into a room,That makes me more
careful, and not being alone, makes me feel more confident.

ts During the week, Eva works in a shop making chocolate. However, at weekends she drives down to
Dover, on the English Channel, where she trains to swim the thirty-five kilometre stretch of sea between
England and France, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.'When lwas young lkept winning l

long-distance swimming events and eventually someone said to me,'Why not have a go at the Channel?'
I thought I couldn't do it and made excuses saying I couldn't afford it. Then my friends started raising
money to pay for me to try, so I had no choice but to do it. When I got ih the sea, I kept asking myself 'What
am I doing?'lt was hard work and I was scared. lt finally took me 1 t hours 21 minutes and I was told to try it
again and do it a bit faster the next time!These days I swim the Channel mainly to raise money for children
in hospitalJ

C ln 2A07 , although a mother of three small children, Katherlne signed up for the Air Force because
she saw it as a change from her domestic routine. Her husband was already a pilot and urged her to join.
Katherine didn't think the Air Force would accept her, but they did and she is now not only an Air Force
pilot for her country, but also flies small planes in competitions.'l'm quite a careful and cautious person
and don't think of what I do as dangerous because I always respect my limitations and those of the aircraft.
The engine could fail, but that's a risk I have to take. My worst and most scary moment was when I was
flying home from a competition in France. The weather was awful, forcing me to fly lower and lower.
My heart wbs racing, my mouth was dry, and my hands were sweating. I had to turn back and find another
airfield to land at. I also race cars and have often been more frightened doing that than flyingJ

D Georgina gave up her career as a social worker to become a professional acrobatic parachutist.
'l first tried parachute jumping in my teens, but didn't particularly like it. Then, in my mid-20s I visited the
States and went on a jump with a friend. I was hooked straight away. I like being in the air and the freedom
it gives me, and the fact that you can't switch off - you really have to concentrate or you put the rest of
the team in jeopardy. I think l'm a level-headed and calm person, so I rarely panic in a difficult situation.
I have been in danger though. One time another member of the team jumped out of the plane too quickly,

landed on me and knocked me out. Fortunately someone else saw it happen and grabbed hold of me. We
landed together with me still unconscious, which is a very difficult manoeuvre.The accident damaged my
confidence, but within weeks I was back jumping againl

Footballers have to attract and entertain the public, as well as promote sales of their club
kit. The beautiful game has become a huge commercial concern, with every player having
an agent who demands enormous transfer fees for their client, along with massive wages.
Are they worth such a high salary? Yes, they are. They train hard every day, sometimes play
three games a week, permanently follow a special diet, travel by nig-ht and miss many family
holidays. They also have a short career and always face the possibility of injury, thus abruptly
ending their career as footballers.

Once upon a time, football was a straightforward enterprise; fans paid a reasonable price
for the ticket, stood and watched the game in safety, and the players gave each game their
all. They played for pride in their club and a love of the game, not for money. Nowadays,
however, this is no longer the case. Modern footballers have no pride in the game; they are
only interested in the hugesalary. What is more, the clubs they are employed by are run more
like businesses than as clubs which take their fans into consideration. lt's all about money.
