animal yawning

can you catch an animal yawning?

 

well, here are some photos of an animal yawn... they are funnier and some are cute when they do it..,

It's well-known that yawning is contagious. And yes it is, because seeing this photos keeps me yawn and yawn.. hehe.. 

Dogs will even respond to a yawning owner by producing a yawn of their own, thought to be an indication they are capable of cross-species empathy.

  But what about the other way round? What does it mean if you catch a yawn off a wild animal like a lion?

hahaha aren't they cute?
