Primates and Play Untangling Toys

    • Kids & Family

Is play unique to people? Or do animals also play? Sure, we've all seen a dog play with a ball or a cat play with a mouse or a nematode play with global banking systems, but is that actually play? Is play a crucial part of life in the animal kingdom? And what can we humans learn from our furry and feathered friends? 

On this episode of Untangling Toys, I talks to primate researcher Dani Steinberg about her research into play and primates. From the volcanic jungles of Rwanda to the Santa Ana Zoo, Dani has studied the life and play of primates of all kinds.
