FfFfFfFF 58,108 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Interspecific contagious yawning in response to yawning by humans has been observed only by chimpanzees and dogs. Additional occurrences of intraspecific contagious has also been seen in a group of captive African elephants. Ten captive African elephants, most of whom had been previously studied, were observed over 13 nights for evidence of intraspecific contagious yawning. Seven of these elephants were also involved in trials where familiar handlers performed staged yawns Three of the seven elephants yawned contagiously in response to humans during the interspecific yawning trials.
