A bear and a boy jumped for joy at the Nashville Zoo.

Patrick Parker was able to capture a video of his 5-year-old son Ian jumping along with the bear in its enclosure.

Ian and many other children were able to capture the attention of the bear by jumping, and eventually the animal joined along. Parker said the jump session lasted almost 10 minutes.
