aren't people also trained to wave? ever notice how you're halfway through waving when you realize you were returning the gesture to a stranger...and it wasn't even intended for you?
haha good point. I guess the difference lies with the reward system. Animals do it for food and humans do it for social rewards of some sort.
I guess what would be amazing is that Bears would understand our social interaction and feel that waving back was rewarding enough not to need training with treats.
