Do Animals Laugh? Posted by Dr Kate White.3,482 views 36 comments We know that animals have feelings.A dog may show fear when it hears loud noises,and a cat may purr when it is happy.But here is a harder question:do animals have a sense of humour? Can they find something funny,just as we do?This week we asked our readers to share their stories. Sally Blanchard,an animal expert,tells a story about her parrot Bongo Marie.Bongo Marie didn't get along with her other parrot,Paco.One day,Blanchard was cutting up a chicken for dinner."Oh,no!Paco!"Bongo Marie eried,and then she laughed loudly.Blanchard laughed too and said,"That's not Paco.""Oh...no,"said Bongo Marie.This time,she sounded disappointed. Then the parrot laughed at her own joke. Science also has something to say.Psychologist Patricia Simonet found that dogs make a special sound一a kind of“laugh”一when they want to play.She recorded the sound and played it back to other dogs.All of them seemed to enjoy it and even started to play with the toys around them. So,can animals really laugh?Science cannot give a final answer yet.But the discussion goes on-and our readers are still voting! 第5页共8页 Which animal do you think can laugh? 1,268 readers voted 48% 50% 40% 31% 30% 20% 12% 9% 10% 0% Dogs Parrots Rats Others Comments When I hide my dog's ball,he jumps around and makes a funny sound.I'm sure he is laughing!
