English photographer captures wildlife yawning

Leave a Comment
The wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein recently published a series of photos of animals with sleep-and yawn. "These photos are a tribute to all who will hear a powerpoint presentation today. You have my sympathy, "joked Goldstein, who managed to figure out the exact moment in which fierce predators have a moment of reflection â€" and we all know how yawning can be contagious.

One of the animals is not "caught" to yawn, though, is the chimpanzee. Still, and according to Swedish researchers, the capacity of a chimp in catch the yawns develops gradually with age â€" as in humans.

The young chimpanzees â€" between five and eight years old â€" can catch the yawns of humans, but babies are immune. Which suggests that humans and other animals share a general pattern of development.

See some of the pictures of Goldstein.
