'They were playing, and even started a few friendly fights. I felt like I was on a playground in front of my house, where small children frolic around,' the man told BoredPanda.

He added: 'That’s how much they reminded me of little children. At one point, the three of them got up on their hind legs and started pushing each other. It was like they were dancing in a circle.'
