Laughing is one of the best feelings in the world. It's a sign of happiness and it has some serious health benefits to boot. We tend to associate laughter with humans and possibly primates, but we're far the only mammals that enjoy a good chuckle. A new study by scientists at UCLA reveals that there are dozens of animal species that laugh and managed to tally a full 65 different creatures that laugh in the way that we think of it.
There are many animals on the planet that vocalize in ways that sound like laughter. However, not all of these vocalizations are linked to playing. Playfulness is a key in differentiating vocalizations that are similar to human laughing and those that merely sound like laughter. After all, if an animal "laughs" when they are in danger or to scare off a predator, they're probably not enjoying themselves.
