AUSTRALIA (KGO) -- A video posted on YouTube shows a group of black swans catching some waves along Australia's Gold Coast.

Wildlife experts say the swans surf for the same reason many humans do -- to have fun.

They believe many animals, like the swans, often mimic what one member of their species is doing to have fun.

This is part of a trend which shows animals and humans may share some similar emotions.
