Do Animals Play?!


Do animals - especially those of different species - play together? 

I sometimes wonder about that when I see playful squirrels interacting with birds - as I once did in Montreal. The two took turns approaching each other. Then, at a certain point, the robin would fly up out of reach - but quickly return. Or the squirrel would jump back, away from the bird. This game of “chicken” went on for a long time.



I was reminded of that, one morning recently, as I watched a squirrel and baby rabbit approach each other on our front lawn, then take turns running away.

They seemed to be having fun.
