CUTE! Ticklish Bonobo Can't Stop Laughing | BBC Earth Explore

Bonobos also laugh, and love being tickled. Liz Bonnin looks at why that might be.

Animals In Love
Do penguins fall in love? How do capuchin monkeys flirt? Do hyenas get first date jitters? Presenter Liz Bonnin reveals the surprising similarities between the ways humans and animals pursue a mate and having found 'the one' how they go about maintaining a relationship. Discover how flamingos spruce themselves up to attract a mate, meet the alligators who woo the girl of their dreams with song and dance, and the bonobos who believe making each other laugh is one of the secrets of a successful relationship. Featuring interviews with top animal behaviourists, Animals in Love reveals the surprising science behind some of these unexpected similarities, offering a wholly fresh look at animal relationships.

Humans have A LOT to learn from these beautiful creatures.

Fun fact, bonobo yawns are contagious like humans.

[lisacraig]

I would absolutely do anything to work with these guys it's my number one bucket list request I just love them

[Kindness]

I think Bonobos are my favourite great apes. After them I like humans and gorillas most 😃. They are all cool and interesting animals, but bonobos are just so peaceful, it's great.

[gennadicole]

We share 99% of our DNA with these beautiful creatures 🤎

[TheBuzzard]

That opening second scared the Hell out of me! My brain didn't register the bonobo as upside down. I was like, "OH DEAR GOD, HIS HEAD'S POPPED OFF!!!! MEDIC!!!", then realized what I was looking at and felt like a real dingus.

[SamanthaTheSonicFan]

I love how bonobos sound just like us!

I thought, for a moment, the bonobo at 03:25 was smoking a cigarette.

We can learn so much about ourselves by studying other animals, especially social species.

I'm gonna be honest, this kid laughs more than me.
