Narrator: Listen to a talk about animal behavior.
Woman: Today's discussion is about a common animal reaction - the
yawn. The dictionary defines a yawn as "an involuntary reaction to fatigue
or boredom." That's certainly true for human yawns, but not necessarily for
animal yawns. The same action can have quite different meanings in different
species. For example, some animals yawn to intimidate intruders on their
territory. Fish and lizards are examples of his. Hippos use yawns when they
want to settle a quarret. Observers have seen two hippos yawns at each other
for as long as two hours before they stop quarreling. As for social animals
like baboons or lions - they yawns to establish the pecking order within
social groups, and lions often yawns to calm social tensions. Sometimes
these animals yawns for a strictly physiological reason - that it, to
increase oxygen levels. And curiously enough, when they yawns for a physical
reason like that, they do what humans do - they try to stifle the yawns by
looking away or by covering their mounths.
