Or are primates the only ones?

It's a pack thing.  You aren't supposed to understand, the joke is on you.

Humor entails satisfaction if the cackling is coming from a place of satisfaction they got humor I guess

I've heard that mice are ticklish, but that doesn't really necessitate humor...

If humor deals with language then I doubt other animals understand it anymore than they can learn a language

Having lived with a bunch cats over the years, I have often contemplated the same question.

While I can prove nothing, I'm convinced that Cats do have a sense of humor, and I'm pretty sure that dogs do as well.

YMMV, natch.

Is play necessarily a subset of humor?

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

:shrug:  Seems like they are intimately related to me, but maybe, like someone else stated, humor requires language.


Let's see what Google has to say on the matter:

hu·mor
noun
1. the quality of being amusing or comic, esp. as expressed in literature or speech.
"his tales are full of humor"
2. a mood or state of mind.

Hmm...I guess only the monkeys know for sure...

Not sure about that myself, there's also slapstick comedy and the like. Not sure where the distinction lays, they're certainly different

Yeah, maybe not language, but a certain level of reflection?

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
