iirc the area of the chimp brain that activates when they do this is the one that evolved into speech or language control in humans.

Polecats do too. It's interesting how even though they're playing with each other, they're still aiming for vital areas like the neck. Almost "pretend killing" in a way?

>Almost "pretend killing" in a way?
Most types of play, at least in predatory or omnivorous species, is essentially pretend killing. They're training each other how to hunt or protect themselves in a fight without there being real danger.

Even humans do this with our own children. Tickling is stimulating their vulnerable areas like the belly, it's fun but also a bit unpleasant and teaches them to defend themselves. Tossing a baby in the air is getting it used to the idea of falling and helps them self-regulate fear and cortisol responses. Hide-and-seek or tag teach stealth and chasing. Peek-a-boo helps a baby learn object permanence as well as testing their fawn response to possible threats (babies don't get quiet and stop fidgeting when you spin the mobile above their crib because it's interesting or soothing, it makes them think there's a bird or some strange animal and they're trying not be noticed). It's the same reason girls like to play house, dress-up, take care of dolls, and have tea parties, while boys play fight, rough-house, bully each other, and pretend to hump or dominate random objects. It's all about learning and practicing critical skills early on, in a safe way, so that you're better prepared when you reach adulthood and have to rely on them to survive.

Choosing a snake isn't exactly hard, considering there's over 3,000 different species of snakes in the world. Okay soo, I guess I'll go with the Gaboon Viper then. because they're my favorite snake! Did you know that they're also the heaviest venomous snake in the world, and that they also have the largest fangs of any snake in the world? And they also produce some of the largest venom yields of any snake species.

Still taking requests, gimme something harder.

Hmm so I had to think about this one for a minute, but eventually the quokka came to mind.
>not a pet
They are illegal to keep as pets in Australia
>Wouldn't kill you
Not unless you're allergic
>Destroy home
They do get up to some trouble, but nothing worst than what a cat could do I think?
>No Cages
They do seem to roam around alot on Rottnest island. Only thing I'm unsure of is if they can be potty trained or not?

And if I wanted to be boring I could just go with the Black Footed Ferret instead. Because they're basically just regular ferrets (which can be potty trained) except super endangered and illegal to own.

Someone on some thread on some board I can't remember (probably /a/) said that Fossa have one of the weirdest peni of the animal kingdom and that's all I can think about now whenever I see a Fossa

Can you guys tell me what it looks like, so I don't have "fossa penis" in my search history? Like is it "red rocket" or more like a "corkscrew"...?

They beat out the tapir in penis-to-body-length ratio.

>The male fossa has an unusually long penis and baculum (penis bone), reaching to between his forelegs when erect, with an average thickness of 20 mm (0.8 in).
>The glans extends about halfway down the shaft and is spiny except at the tip. In comparison, the glans of felids is short and spiny, while that of viverrids is smooth and long.
>The female fossa exhibits transient masculinization, starting at about 1–2 years of age, developing an enlarged, spiny clitoris that resembles a male's penis.
>The enlarged clitoris is supported by an os clitoridis, which decreases in size as the animal grows.
>It is speculated that the transient masculinization either reduces sexual harassment of juvenile females by adult males, or reduces aggression from territorial females.
a downright peculiar animal
