Animal Play - Animals Like Us 8/11 - Go Wild

It is the ability to play that enables us to develop into well co-ordinated, adaptable, highly social individuals. But we are not alone, animals play also. For many years this animal play was thought to be somehow ‘different’ to human play, but this is proving not to be the case.

  1. Monitor lizards are in a class by themselves when it comes to reptile intelligence. A mink trainer who trains mink to hunt vermin found he could train a Monitor lizard to preform like his minks could. Its impressive because mink themselves are smarter than most mammals.

    This is an excellent video, in large part because of the debunking of the "they're learning how to hunt" trope. Almost EVERY wildlife video I've ever watched includes that false premise. So now I have a way of distinguishing how "scientific" a vid is by whether they include that canard. Good to know…
