Oh, check it out. We have breaking animal news for you.

I stay abreast of animal news and bring it to you because they're out there doing stuff.

And people just ignore it.

But we got a lot of human stuff going on right now.

That too, I don't want to take away from that, but animals are doing stuff too.

This is equally important in your mind.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, this involves humans too.

engaged in playful teasing with one another.

Their interactions closely mirror human joking. Human joking?

I bet. No, I bet they hate it. I was thinking maybe they'd like the knock knock
