A hilarious episode of “Who am I”, the animal sound quiz, leads Earth Ranger Emma to investigate the science of animal laughter.

Do animals laugh? We certainly like to imagine that they do, and that they like to joke and goof around just like us. That’s is why we made this funny video about what animals would say if they could talk:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHW-7i1IkBE&feature=youtu.be
