In general, the different types of laughter can be divided into two main categories: complex social laughter and physically stimulated laughter. In complex social laughter, we know and understand the context (e.g., a group laughed or someone said something funny).
On the other hand, physically stimulated laughter does not require a sense of humor at all; rather, a response to physical stimulation, such as tickling, is sufficient.
There are many examples that show that there are animals that understand humor, although this does not mean that they also laugh out loud. For example, the famous gorilla Koko was known to joke and seemed to enjoy the reactions that her jokes provoked. Crows often play pranks on each other; it even happens that other species are made fun of.
Many scientists once believed that laughter made us uniquely human. However, new research shows that other animals are no different from us at all. MuchAs previously thought. Dogs are highly emotional creatures, and it is important for them to connect with others and with members of their own species. But can they laugh?
