frolicsome
This term evokes a sense of innocent, spirited joy and spontaneous movement. It is most frequently applied to animals, particularly young ones, or children, suggesting a lack of inhibition and a natural inclination toward play. The connotation is overwhelmingly positive, though it can occasionally imply a lack of seriousness or a certain flightiness in a human adult.
While similar to playful, frolicsome emphasizes the physical energy and the active, leaping nature of the behavior. It describes a state of being where energy is expelled through joyful, erratic motion rather than just a mental state of amusement.
