Yawning is contagious!

[guidofatherof5]

I've always heard that yawning is contagious and have experienced it myself. I have watched someone yawn and within a second or 2 I'm doing the same thing.

A few months ago I observed something with a group of 3 month old Radixs. As my daughter(Hailee) and I were looking in the encloser and commenting on how wonderful our little scrubs were. One of them yawned. A second later at least 10 of the other little scrubs did the same thing. My daughter and I broke out laughing. Some things must just be universal! Life would be so boring without these little creatures.

Have any of you observed this type of behavior?

I don't know but I yawned as soon as I read this.

Steve, I have never seen any "mass yawning?

That picture of Cain that looks like he wants to eat my camera, was really a big yawn in progress.
